    The actual auction site: https://360assetadvisors.com/events/fssmh/

    Looks like they’re only breaking it down into three parts: Infowars the media company, Infowars the supplement store, and a pile of domain names. Production equipment might get sold as part of a separate auction.

    I’m not loving the NDA though - open auctions should get more value.

      That production equipment goes along with infowars the media company, I would assume. Unless it’s all, like, leased from someplace.

      Edit:

      INFOWARS (as a Package)
      • Production Rights & Materials
      • Domain Names
      • Social Media Accounts
      • Podcast Sites
      • Newsletter Subscribers
      • Production Equipment (Optional)**

      **Note that the option to bid on physical assets (i.e. production equipment) as part of this offering will only be as a bulk offering in combination with an Inforwars Intellectual Property bid. If the physical assets are not sold under this offering, they will be offered through a piecemeal auction currently scheduled for December 10.

      apparently the equipment does belong to infowars, it’s just the purchase at auction is only an optional part of the package. Otherwise, they’ll be sold off later.

        Oh god, this is the one I want to control. I’d send so much bullshit on a daily basis and ignore every unsubscribe mail unless they include a picture of themselves wearing a rainbow tutu and nothing else while peeing on a statue of Donald Trump.

      What could any part of Alex Jones possibly be worth? Even if you rendered him down, maybe a couple of bucks for the fat?

        Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them.

        Alex Jones is a professional grifter and he’d probably be able to take his audience with him. Just buy InfoWars whole and use it to spread facts and science instead

    Some jackass like Musk is gonna buy it at auction for the minimum they can get away with, and turn it into XInfoWars or something, and rehire Alex Jones because “truth is free” or some shit.

    There is 0 value in this as a media company, but it’s always been a conspiracy theorist grift. It being resold that’s really all it could be. Sadly, many in MAGA hats would love to keep the grift going.

    wow that only took like 4 years to do.

    it’s going to be another 10 years before they see a dime though.

    oh the wheels of justice are moving. watch as they roll over the victims and blame the driver, father time.

      IIRC homes are protected in bankruptcy, because someone decided it would be unfair to inflict homelessness on someone for committing the crime of being broke (irony very intended).

    If Elon Musk was a good person, he would buy the site and turn it into a memorial page for the victims at Sandy Hook.

    But he is not a good person.

      it’s a shame that he spoiled a pretty good name. this is why i hoped ISIL would catch on instead of ISIS.
