Alex Jones’ control of Infowars has lived on another day, although the long-term future of the site, known for peddling conspiracy theories, has been thrown into doubt after a bankruptcy judge blocked the results of a recent auction for the company’s assets. The judge blocked the winning bid by satirical media outlet The Onion for Free Speech Systems, the Infowars parent company, finding issue with how the auction was conducted and saying it could have yielded a higher price. The company is being sold off as part of a defamation settlement after Jones falsely called the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax. At issue, Judge Christopher Lopez said Tuesday night, was that the auction called for sealed, best and final bids, rather than running as a live auction. A more open format could have netted a higher price, Lopez said, saying the auction itself was held in good faith and the identity of the winner was not an issue. Jones was on air Tuesday night celebrating what he said was “the judge doing the right thing with the most ridiculous fraudulent auction known in human history.” But Jones’ control might not last much longer. Lopez directed the court-appointed trustee to return within 30 days with a new plan. No matter what happens with the future of Infowars, Jones still owes more than $1 billion to the families of the Sandy Hook massacre victims.
