The Onion purchased Infowars in a bankruptcy auction on Thursday with plans to turn it into a satire website — but the judge overseeing the case has ordered a hearing into how the satire website won.
The legal team representing Jones has alleged that the auction was rigged at the last minute to allow The Onion to win — despite a seven-figure bid from Infowars allies.
The winning bid amount has not been publicly disclosed and bidders had to sign nondisclosure agreements.
According to a report from NPR, the company would not necessarily go to the highest bidder. more
As with everything else in this country right now, it was rigged.
Hmmm. I thought the idea was to fund the 1.5 billion dollar award. One would think the highest bidder would win; but maybe that’s only in a rule-of-law court.
If the sale doesn’t necessarily go to the highest bidder, it’s not an auction.
Alex was wrong and he made a lotta money off the hoax but the billion-dollar judgement against him was much more wrong.
billion $$$ judgement = pure ****** bullshit
I’m just waiting for the billion dollar suit against The View encouraging violence and breaking up families over politics!
