Judge Rejects Sale of Infowars to The Onion

The Onion's bid for the conspiracy website was supported by the
families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting and a nonprofit focused
on ending gun violence.

Judge Lopez said that the bankruptcy auction failed to maximize the
amount of money that the sale of Infowars should provide to Mr.
Jones's creditors, including the Sandy Hook families, in part because
the bids were submitted in secret.
...
...
Judge Lopez's ruling put the fate of Infowars in limbo. He instructed
a court-appointed trustee, Christopher Murray, to come up with an
alternative resolution, though it was not immediately clear what
approach Mr. Murray would take. He did not immediately respond to a
request for comment
