That makes no sense. They WON the bid. Are you saying there was another bid after some sort of court case? Is there somewhere we can find this info?

The original bid was thrown out because the judge fucked up.

It's all over the thread.

It bears repeating though, how long can this bit realistically last for? With how much they paid for it, there's no way they'll make a return on investment. It's literally just spite against a dude who's mostly a laughing stock.

It’ll last about as long as Ben Collins’ girlfriend’s political career

It would be really, really funny if they just hired alex Jones to do his show again under the umbrella of "it's just a comedy bit," but I doubt they'll be that cool.

Maybe they don't own it, not yet at least.

Looks true, even according to NPR. The bankruptcy district court judge just appointed a receiver. While it's likely that will result in Ben Collins and his soy beard retard buddies owning it, they don't yet.

Onion vs. Infowars reminds me a bit of Peter Thiel funding Hulk Hogan's (not HHH) lawsuit that nuked Gawker after Gawker published the already-public-knowledge that Thiel is gay some years earlier.

I'm nearly certain that he's just going to continue running it as if Alex Jones were still running it but it's going to be immediately obvious because the writers are guaranteed to not understand the difference between alex and his audience. The website is going to try and keep up kayfabe but it's going to be immediately recognizable as a new writing team

With what's currently emerging about the SPLC secretly funding "far-right hate groups" just so they had something to clutch their pearls about I wouldn't be surprised if little Ben has a Soros-like entity filling his war chest, since I doubt The Onion is bringing in much revenue under his stewardship.

My prediction is they'll turn the site into a Sandy Hook memorial page or something, since this has been a humiliation ritual from the start. (Insert your own 'it's not about the money' Joker memes.)

I was thinking his parents are the ones funding him either directly or indirectly, since Ben had a silver-spoon childhood, but who knows. Could also be any one of the usual suspects like Reid Hoffman, Hansjorg Wyss, Tom Steyer, etc.

Based Eric Wareheim not getting involved.

dude is a foodie , legit interesting stuff.

So how do this come to be? It was my understanding that Ben got outbid, and they did some illegal scam to try to win anyway. Then they lost in court. This was years ago though, how did they end up winning? We need a serious rundown of this shit now!

tl;dr: Ben didn't even get outbid. He colluded with the court-appointed bankruptcy appointee and very likely the judge to make himself the only bidder in a "silent auction" and then declare himself the winner. A large part of the bid wasn't even real money, it was getting the two families involved in the suit to write-down their proceeds from the settlement to give him funny money for bidding.
It was massively fucked up and third-world levels of corrupt and should have gotten that Judge de-benched in all honesty.

Ben knows there would be a bidding war, Alex Jones has (had?) some funding in his corner that was going to retain control of infowars and keep Alex in charge or otherwise make Ben pay out the ass. There are documents various bidders put into the court after Ben's previous attempts at "Rules for thee" that say "If auctioned openly, I will bid this much for infowars" and they are way more than Ben would be able to convince the investors who bankroll the Onion they should spend for him to "pwn the chuds" for a few months until he gets bored.

What Ben has managed to do is end run the bidding war by not buying Infowars but "leasing" it. They are leasing it for $81,000 which IIRC is what Alex Jones nets from it - I cannot find the source on that figure but its not random, and is to claim that Ben will be funding the judgement fund faster than allowing the site to continue to operate as-is.
This is still really fucked up and Ben doing the same "no bid" end-run he was trying to do, and I think discounts the damage having two unfunny libtard faggots try to operate the site, but w/e.

That makes no sense. They WON the bid. Are you saying there was another bid after some sort of court case? Is there somewhere we can find this info?

See above. They didn't "win" the auction. THere was a fucked up "silent auction" they claimed to use plantiff judgement write-down to win.

Looks true, even according to NPR. The bankruptcy district court judge just appointed a receiver. While it's likely that will result in Ben Collins and his soy beard retard buddies owning it, they don't yet.

Exactly this. There is a proposal to lease infowars for several months with an option to renew that has been recieved favoribly by the court but there is still options for appeals and counter motions.

Meanwhile eric was the one with talent, the one who didn't get into a screaming match with Sam Hyde out of jealousy

Both of them are unfunny cancerous faggots and I hope they die, but hopefully Tim first.

Sounds like some sort of a reverse plea deal.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

So does this mean Tim Heidecker is a incredible shitlib?

Yes. I'm not a fan of Sam Hyde but Time Heidecker helped get MDE:WP's Adult Swim run canceled because of "racism" and that's incredibly gay in my opinion.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

InfoWars is still up.

Alex Jones wins again.

So it appears that the Texas Court of Appeals blocked some affiliate of the Onion from gaining control of the site, and now it's in legal limbo.

Naturally Ben is PISSED, and is saying he is going to continue in his crusade to try and get Infowars.

Also According to Ben because of this Infowars is set to shut down by Midnight tonight, so we'll keep an eye out for that.

But don't worry, he's setting a new studio under a new name and will never, ever pay a dime of the settlement.

He's had a new show for years under his own name. I guess so they can't steal it from him. The infowars name is iconic, it's still a massive loss that he can't use it anymore. Hopefully infowars stays dead. It's better buried than defiled.

Jones is a fighter, he keeps going even if he knows it be healthy to quit but he knows he can't give his enemies an inch. He keeps going, theirs's light at the end of the tunnel.
