A company linked to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is now offering over $7 million to buy his Infowars platforms as part of Jones' bankruptcy.

Summary

A company tied to Alex Jones, First United American Companies, has increased its offer to over $7 million to purchase Infowars, doubling its previous bid after a December bankruptcy auction was voided.

The sale is part of Jones’ bankruptcy following defamation judgments totaling $1.5 billion over false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting.

Proceeds from the sale will mostly benefit Sandy Hook families.

The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, is also expected to submit a revised bid.

The court will decide on the next steps in the sale process.
