Alex Jones Battles The Onion Over Infowars Ownership
TL;DR Summary
Alex Jones is suing to prevent The Onion from acquiring his company, Infowars, after the satirical outlet won a bankruptcy auction intended to compensate Sandy Hook families. Jones owes $1.5 billion for defamation and claims The Onion's bid is invalid, favoring his affiliated company, FUAC, which offered a higher cash bid. The bankruptcy trustee supports The Onion's bid, arguing it benefits creditors more. Jones, who has a history of non-compliance with court proceedings, is also contesting his removal from his Austin studio.
