Summary
Alex Jones has sued Sandy Hook families and The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, alleging a conspiracy in their joint $1.75M bid to acquire Infowars during a bankruptcy auction.
Jones claims their bid unfairly appeared more valuable due to the families waiving portions of their payout, benefiting other defamation victims.
The bankruptcy trustee dismissed the allegations as baseless. Sandy Hook families vowed to hold Jones accountable, while the auction process faces judicial scrutiny over transparency.
A hearing is scheduled for November 25. Jones owes over $1B in defamation damages.
And it’s going to go nowhere. This is just the latest in Alex’s decade+ campaign of harassment against these people.
There was nothing wrong let alone illegal about the auction or the circumstances of The Onion’s win. He’s just butthurt that his little scheme to have Elon and Roger Stone buy infowars and give it back to him didn’t work.
You have infinitely more confidence is the justice system than I do.
This is just the latest in Alex’s decade+ campaign of harassment against these people.
Can’t they just sue him back because he is basically doing what he did in the first place and got fucked over to begin with?
Didn’t a judge side with him and put a hold on the sale?
The judge didn’t “side” with him. It was a matter of procedure and as I said, it will go nowhere. It’s just yet another stalling tactic and continued harassment from Alex Jones.
This is correct, but the judge’s statement about it seemed pretty biased.
I am not sure if it is a full hold, but they are investigating this and The Onion bid.
But yeah. The goal is obviously to stall and escalate. Likely with the hope of getting a ruling (SC or not) that taking companies away from white people is unconstitutional.
Not white people, people of all colours when they are useful to the Rs
If a white leftist had Roger Stone take their company away that would be completely legal
Yeah… that is some “the leopards won’t eat my face” shit
I am confused
You were the one saying that by trying to turn a class war into a race war.
And your response was the same “oh, they don’t care about skin color if you are useful to them”
If so, he’s hoping for post January 6. Stall and delays, just like all the stuff the orange Cheeto and cronies are doing. It’s really time the pitchforks are being picked up.
For a guy that owes 1B he sure seems to have a lot of money left.
He signed most of his assets to his dad.
I’m sure he’ll spend it all to make sure they don’t get any if he’s got the opportunity.
It’s a shame in “these cases” there isn’t prison for those in debt. It would be great to see these types in a *pillory (damn autocorrect) or stocks in the town square.
A disturbing thing I learned recently: people put in stocks had a tendency to be sexually assaulted at night. I’d be all for it in Jones’s case.
They’d be too busy locking up every person who ever set foot in a hospital to get around to lil ole Alex Jones.
Well medical debt is exempt from other collections processes, so… (At least in America)
No. Don’t even entertain the idea. It’s bad, and would be used to punish the poor.
I think we should be able to entertain any idea, then judge it for its merits. This idea has few, and are heavily outweighed by its negatives.
There is debt prison in some jurisdictions. And that’s the real shame. Money shouldn’t land you in prison. All the other things he did should, but debt? No, that’s madness.
I too think that it would be used on those that aren’t above the law like most of the rich in this country, hence in the these cases comment .
What an insufferable piece of shit.
He’s just going to keep suing and suing for every step to try to wear everyone down.
Curious if they’d be able to sanction him as a Vexatious litigant, or if that would go too far in denying him his legal rights.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexatious_litigationIf the judges had any propriety for the rule of law they’d just start holding his lawyers in contempt for every new lawsuit they try to bring forth. If he has no one to represent him, the house of cards comes down.
But we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system full of politically appointed judges who spend their entire careers trying to dismantle the country.
Calling this a “Frankenstein bid” is the closest Alex Jones has ever gotten to reading a work of classic literature.
That reminds me, Alex Jones talks about Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke a lot, in fact, his belief that aliens are demons is plagiarized from it. But the funny thing is, there’s a searchable archive of transcripts for all his shows. And if you search for “Childhood’s End”, the first time he ever mentioned it was a week after the SyFy channel aired their three-part miniseries in 2015. So he’s clearly never actually read the novel, despite regularly talking about how much he loves it.
Wait, it’s been since high school that I read that book admittedly, but wasn’t it kinda reversed, where concepts of demons are in universe subconsciously inspired by the appearance of the aliens, rather than the aliens themselves being demons?
Yes, but Alex Jones has the media literacy of a bowl of mashed potatoes. He picks and chooses what he likes from movies and tv shows to shape his conspiracy theories and ignores the rest. It’s a point that’s discussed often on the Knowledge Fight podcast. (Which is devoted to debunking infowars) He’s constantly missing the point of the media he claims to love.
Ok so I’ll sue Alex Jones and then he can sue me, then the families can sue him for suing me, then you guys can sue the families for suing him and he can sue you guys for liking pineapple pizza, then I can sue the universe for creating all this stupidity.
That’s how the law works right?
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
You’re a hoopy guy.
Go the fuck away and die already you fat conspiracist clown.
If he wins he gets money from the families so that he can use that money to pay back the families
Could the families use this to generate infinite payouts? I think so.
This. Fucking. Guy.
