Judge to Decide Fate of Infowars Sale to The Onion in December Hearing

TL;DR Summary
A federal bankruptcy judge will hear arguments in December on the fairness of the auction that sold Alex Jones' Infowars to The Onion. Jones and a losing bidder claim the process was biased, accusing the trustee of collusion with the winning bidders, including Sandy Hook families. The Onion's bid, though lower in cash, included concessions from the families, making it more attractive. The judge will decide whether to approve the sale, order a new auction, or award the company to the backup bidder, though experts see the latter as unlikely.
