First United American Companies, a firm linked to Alex Jones, has significantly increased its bid for Infowars to over $7 million, more than doubling its previous offer. This follows a voided auction where The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, had initially won with a lower bid. The trustee overseeing Jones’ bankruptcy will now evaluate both the new offers from First United American and the expected renewed bid from Global Tetrahedron. The sale proceeds will primarily benefit the Sandy Hook families awarded damages in defamation lawsuits against Jones. The future of Infowars and the specifics of the sale process remain undetermined, pending court approval.

Following a bankruptcy auction, a federal judge is considering whether to approve the sale of Alex Jones’s Infowars to The Onion, despite a competing bid from a Jones-affiliated company claiming a higher cash offer. The judge will hold an evidentiary hearing to assess the bankruptcy trustee’s decision-making process, specifically regarding the selection of The Onion’s bid, which included a revenue-sharing agreement with Sandy Hook victims’ families. The hearing will determine whether the sale proceeds, intended to satisfy defamation judgments, will be approved, another auction held, or further hearings conducted. The Onion’s bid, while lower in cash, was deemed by the trustee to benefit creditors more, prompting the legal challenge.

Alex Jones, facing the sale of his company Free Speech Systems, is suing the Sandy Hook parents and others involved in the sale, claiming the deal violates his rights.

Jones’s complaint alleges the sale infringes on his free speech and misrepresents his ownership.

I can’t contain my excitement at the news that a judge is set to approve auctions liquidating Alex Jones’ Infowars to help pay the Sandy Hook families. It’s about time that justice catches up to someone like Jones, who has shamelessly exploited and profited off of people’s vulnerabilities and tragedies. The fact that Erica Lafferty has had to struggle to pay for cancer treatment while Jones flaunted his wealth is simply infuriating.
I applaud the decision to auction off Infowars assets and hold Jones accountable for his actions. It’s a small step towards ensuring that those who spread lies and misinformation for personal gain face consequences.… Continue reading
The first graders who survived the tragic events of Sandy Hook are now old enough to vote in their first presidential election. This milestone is a poignant reminder of the time that has passed since that horrific day, and it highlights the crucial role that this generation’s voice will play in shaping the future, particularly on issues like gun violence. These young individuals, who have grown up participating in active shooter drills, possess a unique understanding of the impact of Republican policies and have every reason to be angry and motivated to effect change.
I vividly recall the horror and sadness I felt when I heard about Sandy Hook.… Continue reading

I cannot express the sense of satisfaction and relief I felt when I read that justice might finally be catching up to this purveyor of dangerous misinformation and conspiracy theories.
It’s about time that someone took a stand against Alex Jones and his toxic brand of fear-mongering. For too long, he has spewed lies and deceit, profiting off the pain and suffering of others. The fact that Infowars was ever considered an asset is mind-boggling to me.… Continue reading
I recently came across some news that caught my attention – a judge approving the liquidation of Alex Jones’ personal assets to pay Sandy Hook victims’ families. As I delved deeper into the details, I was both shocked and relieved by the outcome. To think that someone could spread lies and conspiracy theories, enriching themselves in the process, while causing immeasurable harm to the families affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy is beyond comprehension.
The fact that Jones used his media platform, InfoWars, to poison public discourse with falsehoods is despicable. The pain and suffering he has caused to those who lost loved ones in such a tragic event is inconceivable.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the news that Sandy Hook survivors have graduated from high school, my heart is heavy with a mix of emotions. The memory of that tragic day in 2012 when innocent children and educators lost their lives in a senseless act of violence is etched into our collective consciousness. The survivors, who were just young children at the time, were forced to witness and endure horrors that no one should ever have to face. The pain, trauma, and anguish they experienced is unimaginable, and yet they have persevered and reached this milestone of graduation.
It’s heartwarming to hear that these survivors are now young adults embarking on the next chapter of their lives.… Continue reading
Alex Jones, the infamous conspiracy theorist and host of InfoWars, has finally faced the consequences of his despicable actions. After years of trolling parents who lost their children in the Sandy Hook school shooting, Jones now finds himself drowning in a $1.5 billion debt that is non-dischargeable through bankruptcy. The judge has made it clear that he will have to continue paying the families until he settles the debt, leaving Jones essentially broke for the rest of his life.
It’s hard to fathom the level of callousness and cruelty it takes to harass grieving parents, not just once, but repeatedly over the years.… Continue reading
