The Onion’s offer to buy right-wing provocateur Alex Jones’ Infowars platform, as part of a liquidation to pay off his debts to the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, is on hold until a bankruptcy judge can approve it.
Houston bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Lopez at a hearing Monday rejected a request from Jones for an emergency temporary restraining order to stop a bankruptcy trustee or those from The Onion from taking over Infowars assets, saying it wasn’t necessary since he hasn’t entered an order allowing such a change.
Lopez said he’s ready to consider objections as early as next week from Jones, a losing bidder, or others who have concerns with the transparency of the auction or the structure of the winning bid. The decision will determine whether Jones can remain on air on the platform he’s been broadcasting on for roughly 25 years.
On this timeline, Jones will get it all back and somehow bankrupt the sandy hook families because we can never have nice things.
Stop…this timeline needs to stoooooppppppp
We can make that happen. But it requires the hardest thing of all; unity and availability. Though, with things heating up the globe over availability won’t be a problem soon.
How can we stop it from happening? Chain ourselves to the door of Infowars?
Anything we can do will take decades to change any of this shit. And we don’t have decades until the ecosystem collapses and we all starve.
I meant the timeline, we can change it still. Things are about to nosedive. Not saying society will survive, but maybe humans won’t die out. Infowars sale is already toast the judge is just deciding how to gank the onion. But there is still time to save things, not everything, but the main stream scientific consensus is still that there is time to mitigate damage, best of luck these next five years. Thats probably all we’ve got and its barely a billionth of a heartbeat of life’s history

You joke, but one of them already needed a gofundme to pay for medical bills. After the verdict.
Well, yeah, there’s no way there going to see anywhere near the amount of money they won from the case.
I see what you’re saying, but on the other hand, can we really trust the lady who murdered Tuvix?
Sigh yes. You are 100% correct and I hate it.
At least the judge is doing things right: https://sh.itjust.works/post/28629131/15247687
It won’t happen. The judge is just going through due process. There hasn’t been any new news about this case since last week.
There won’t be anything new until later this week. The posted article is old info.
This article was posted on the 25th shortly after the hearing ended.
I do agree with you that the judge is going through with due process tho, and my guess is that’s so AJ has no fallback challenges he can bring up at a later date.
The court was clear on what the trustee could do, and they had a long keash on this. IMO the Onion will win and AJ will lose.
Fuck Alex Jones.
Ew. No. I don’t need the disease.
I can donate a condom to the initiative?
Legal Eagle on YouTube has a good video up about it. Jones does not have a strong case, but anything can happen.
Stacked partisan right wing judges, hand selected to put right wing optics over the actual law is what can happen, and what Mitch McConnell has been busy with for decades.
Maybe he gets it back and has to auction it again. All the money just ends up with the lawyers.
Here’s hoping, from the original case:
A federal bankruptcy judge in Houston ordered new personnel to oversee the bankruptcy of Alex Jones’s Infowars late on Tuesday, citing an ongoing lack of transparency, including over Mr. Jones’s lavish personal spending.
Judge Christopher Lopez dismissed Mr. Jones’s attorney and chief restructuring officer in the bankruptcy of Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company, and expanded the duties of a Department of Justice-appointed trustee already monitoring the case. The judge authorized the trustee to hire additional legal and other help, specifying that any new hires must have “no connection to any of these cases,” he said, citing a need to investigate “insider relationships.”
“There has to be greater transparency in this case,” Judge Lopez said during the hearing on Tuesday, pointing to concerns with spending and other disclosures on the part of the company, which is run by Mr. Jones. “Without transparency, people lose faith in the process,” he added, referring to the federal bankruptcy system.
