sued on Monday to challenge the ***** of his Infowars platform to the parent company satirical news outlet The Onion and the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy ***** mass school *********.

on Monday that “conspiratorial negotiation and agreement” involving his bankruptcy trustee and a “flagrantly non-compliant Frankenstein bid” led to the Sandy ***** families and Global Tetrahedron, The Onion’s parent company, winning an auction last week for the site.

Infowars went up for ***** after Jones declared personal and corporate bankruptcy in 2022. He faces more than $1bn in damages he owes to the families for defamation after claiming the Sandy ***** ********* was a hoax.

Jones’s filing on Monday alleges the winning bidders in the bankruptcy auction for Infowars submitted an offer that only appeared more valuable than the $3.5m bid from a company associated with his online store. He claims The Onion’s bid was worth $1.75m on its own, but managed to appear more valuable in the aggregate because the Connecticut-based Sandy ***** families agreed to forgo some of the funds they’d earn from the *****, meaning a separate group of families who won a different defamation suit against Jones would receive a higher ultimate payout from the Jones estate.

Global Tetrahedron hasn’t publicly described the value of its bid.

The Independent has contacted The Onion’s CEO Ben Collins for comment.

Christopher R. Murray, the bankruptcy trustee overseeing the ***** of Jones’s assets, responded to the filing on Monday, painting Jones’s move as “a disappointed bidder’s improper attempt to influence an otherwise fair and open auction process.”

Jones, he argued, “alleges, without evidence, collusion and bad ****** in an attempt to mislead the Court and disqualify its only competition in the auction.”

Lawyers for the Sandy ***** families also said they would not back down.

“At every step, the families we represent have sought to hold Jones accountable to the fullest extent of the law and to protect others from his *****,” attorney Chris Mattei

The Wall Street Journal on Monday. “They will not be intimidated, and they look forward to bringing this process to a just conclusion at the earliest possible date.”

The parent company of The Onion and family members of those ******* at Sandy ***** purchased Infowars in a bankruptcy auction last week

A status conference is scheduled in the case for November 25.

“The ****** bid from Global Tetrahedron and the Connecticut families has been selected as the winning bid for InfoWars,” Collins, The Onion’s CEO, told The Independent in a statement after the ***** last week. “The ***** is currently underway as part of the standard processes.”

The judge overseeing the case said last week “no one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”

“We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” District Judge Christopher Lopez said in court during a status conference. “I personally don’t care who wins the auction … I care about process and transparency.”

Jones, in his final broadcast before the original *****, claimed the “deep state gestapo” was conspiring to shut down his broadcasts.
