A Texas court has authorized the seizure and sale of assets belonging to Alex Jones's Infowars by a court-appointed receiver. This ruling allows the assets of Free Speech Systems, the parent company of Infowars, to be sold with proceeds designated for distribution among families affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy. The decision has reopened the opportunity for The Onion to revive its bid to acquire Infowars and its related assets. The move follows a legal conflict involving a state judge overriding a federal bankruptcy judge's decision in an effort to seize the Infowars assets and studios. The sale process is expected to proceed under the supervision of the Texas court.
