Judge Halts the Onion’s Infowars Takeover to Review Bankruptcy Auction Process

variety.com

The Onion's winning bid for the assets of Alex Jones' bankrupt conspiracy-theory site Infowars is under further review.

Infowars reopens after shutting down

Murray had Infowars’ website and studio shut down Thursday as he began the process of securing assets, a lawyer for the trustee said in court Thursday. But on Friday, Infowars and its websites were back up and running.

On his show, Jones told listeners that Murray had told him it was wrong to shut down Infowars before the sale was finalized. Murray and his lawyer did not immediately return phone messages and emails seeking comment.
