The Onion's Infowars Acquisition Faces Legal Hurdles
TL;DR Summary
The Onion's acquisition of Alex Jones' InfoWars is on hold after a federal bankruptcy judge in Texas ruled for a new hearing to review claims by Jones that the auction was "rigged." The satirical news site won the auction with a $1.75 million bid, but Jones' legal team argues that a higher bid from First United American Companies was unfairly rejected. The judge emphasized the need for a fair process and scheduled an evidentiary hearing to resolve the dispute.
