"The Onion had hoped a deal would be approved by a lower court judge Thursday, letting it license the Infowars brand name and turn the show into a mockery of itself."
"Jones said he must move from his Infowars studio in Austin, Texas, because a court-appointed state receiver is no longer paying the bills to keep it open."
"Jones called the appeals court decision 'a massive victory,' saying the lawsuits against him 'failed to silence us and it's created a Streisand effect to only boost people's interest into why we're under such attack.'"
"Lawyers for the families, who have yet to collect a penny from their judgment against Jones, say they are pressing on and 'look forward to the Onion's ultimate takeover.'"
The Onion aims to acquire Infowars, allowing it to parody the brand and support Sandy Hook families owed $1.3 billion by Alex Jones. Jones is relocating his studio due to unpaid bills from a court-appointed receiver managing his assets. The families' attorneys have appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, while Jones claims a recent appeals court decision is a victory, asserting that the lawsuits against him have increased public interest in his situation. Control of Infowars remains uncertain as legal proceedings continue.
