Boo this judge
Wait a second. A judge blocked the Onion from buying the site at auction because… he thinks it should have sold for more? My brother in Christ, do you understand what an auction is?!
Specifically, he thought the trustee should have allowed the other LLC (which is totally not affiliated with him yet only exists to shelter his supplement business) more time to counteroffer.
But that makes no sense. It’s an auction. There’s a time limit. It’s not an acquisition. You’re being forced to sell something.

You know what else makes no sense? Letting someone bid on his former property using money he owes to the people selling.
Why does that make no sense? He has debts to pay, can’t cover them, and so his assets are sold at auction to pay them off. Same thing happens to people every day via civil forfeiture.
Because he’s trying to use the money he owes to buy back his stuff, when it should have been seized too
This is pretty clearly interference from the judge. The guy who ran the bankruptcy auction has a ton of experience with this stuff and there is no reason to think he wasn’t impartial or that he didn’t get the best price for everything. Jones’ lawyers are just kicking the can down the road and delaying for as long as they can.
Aw man, that’s some bullshit
At least we now know why Musk was upset. He intended to buy it and hand it right back to Alex Jones. Can’t have the “alt-right” media sphere disappearing.
This is why I don’t hype myself up over such stories.
There’s always a rugpull.
Not allowed to shoot CEOs, not allowed to buy your enemy’s company in a fair sale. What happened to the American dream
Only boomers and Gen-x believed it. The rest of us grew up with the Internet and an ever-increasing feeling of betrayal.
Please don’t lump Gen-Xers in with boomers. Why do you think Gen-X got its name? Disillusionment, detachment, loss of identity and purpose. Gen-X didn’t know what was wrong, but they knew enough to know they were left out. Even boomers aren’t to blame – they just have more people in the ownership class right now. If we divide along age and generational lines, the capitalists benefit.
I thought they’d already bought it, I didn’t know it was still in question. What a bummer. This was going to be hilarious.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
Context. Volume. Relevance.
Does the judge think that shitpile is gonna be worth much now? Like, unless they can force Alex to appear there and do skits, it’s just a fucking website without it’s, for lack of a better word, talent.
Keep at it, Onion, the funny outcome was just delayed, not averted!
Booooo!
lame
Boooo
No justice, no peace! Give them Infowars!
not cool bro. not cool.
