A bankruptcy judge is set to hear arguments Monday in conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' effort to stop the satirical news outlet The Onion from buying Infowars and turning it into a parody.
In a new court filing Monday, lawyers for X objected to any sale of the accounts of both Jones and Infowars, saying X is the owner of the accounts and that it has not given consent for them to be sold or transferred. Jones has praised X owner Elon Musk on his show and suggested that Musk should buy Infowars. Musk has not responded publicly to that suggestion and was not among the bidders.
First United American Companies submitted a US$3.5 million sealed bid, while The Onion offered $1.75 million in cash. But The Onion's bid also included a pledge by Sandy Hook families to forgo some or all of the auction proceeds due to them to give other creditors a total of $100,000 more than they would receive under other bids.
In a court filing on Sunday, Murray called the allegations a "desperate attempt" to delay the sale of Infowars to The Onion and accused Jones, his lawyers and attorneys for First United American Companies of a "vicious smear campaign lobbing patently false accusations." He also alleges Jones collaborated with First United American Companies to try to buy Infowars.
Jones has brought in millions of dollars a year in revenue by hawking nutritional supplements, clothing, survival gear and other merchandise, including more than US$22 million this year through Sept. 30 from his Infowars Store website, according to court documents.
