The Onion’s bid was a sealed bid, was it not? They have not disclosed the amount, nor has the court.The Onions bid was zero dollars of current money. They offered profits off the future gains. I haven't heard a single family member say they don't care about the money they just want to mock AJ. If that's what they want then that's fine by me... but it looks like the lawyers went into this with a plan and used the families to shut down InfoWars.
But you do realize he will just go a different site and still be able to talk right? I feel like you guys don't understand how the internet works in real life.
So, I’m assuming you’re getting your news about the amount from someone like Jones himself. Which would be odd, considering that the other bid’s attorneys (a group supporting Jones) lodged their complaint with the judge because they were upset that they didn’t know how much the Onion offered. Even the judge didn’t know the amount the Onion offered, hence the evidentiary hearing next week to compare the two bids and understand the process.
As to the families, the Onion’s bid was a joint bid with the Connecticut families. The families were fully informed of this and agreed to waive a portion of what Jones owes them in order to ensure that Jones’ secured creditors would receive more money. This was done to make their bid more attractive to the trustee.
Your assertion that the attorneys were taking advantage of the families or ignored their fiduciary duty is complete and utter nonsense. The Connecticut families were partners with the Onion on the bid.
