Summary
Alex Jones has sued Sandy Hook families and The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, alleging a conspiracy in their joint $1.75M bid to acquire Infowars during a bankruptcy auction.
Jones claims their bid unfairly appeared more valuable due to the families waiving portions of their payout, benefiting other defamation victims.
The bankruptcy trustee dismissed the allegations as baseless. Sandy Hook families vowed to hold Jones accountable, while the auction process faces judicial scrutiny over transparency.
A hearing is scheduled for November 25. Jones owes over $1B in defamation damages.
For a guy that owes 1B he sure seems to have a lot of money left.
He signed most of his assets to his dad.
It’s a shame in “these cases” there isn’t prison for those in debt. It would be great to see these types in a *pillory (damn autocorrect) or stocks in the town square.
No. Don’t even entertain the idea. It’s bad, and would be used to punish the poor.
I think we should be able to entertain any idea, then judge it for its merits. This idea has few, and are heavily outweighed by its negatives.
