The Onion’s bid for Alex Jones’ Infowars hangs in the balance as judge orders new hearing
So, delayed until next month. Looks like Infowars might make it through Christmas.
Also heard from were lawyers from Twitter, who argued that the Infowars and AlexJones accounts were their property, and they didn't approve them being reassigned. They likely have T&C on their side. A big part of the Onions gag would be posting from Infowars account, so I imagine they're not happy to hear that. I wonder if Musk himself made that happen.
Quote:A bankruptcy judge on Monday delayed a hearing in conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ effort to stop the satirical news outlet The Onion from buying Infowars, keeping the auction sale up in the air for at least another few weeks.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez had been scheduled to hear an emergency motion to disqualify The Onion’s bid on Monday, but put it off until either Dec. 9 or Dec. 17. That’s also when the judge will hear arguments on the trustee’s request to approve the sale of Infowars to The Onion. Lopez said it made sense to have one hearing on both requests.
