A US bankruptcy judge has rejected the sale of Alex Jones's Infowars website to The Onion, stating the auction did not yield the best possible bids. Jones's claims of collusion in the auction were dismissed, despite the controversies surrounding his past statements related to the Sandy Hook shooting. The judge noted that the auction process was flawed and should have encouraged more competitive bids. This ruling is impacting Jones, who faces financial struggles due to defamation lawsuits related to his claims about the Sandy Hook tragedy.
