    So the families gave up a pile of money in order to back The Onion’s bid and make sure Jones wasn’t just reinstalled doing the same shit as before under the Infowars banner. Wonder who the shitbirds were that made a 7-figure offer to do that fuckery? I wonder if it rhymes with Felon Tusk?

      The families didn’t pay for this, The Onion did.

      The families support was mostly not financial in this .

        They backed the Onion bid to reduce the cost and make sure they were successful. It definitely cost them.

        “In order to make the bid work, the families “agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion’s bid, enabling its success,” the families said in a statement.”

        Sounds like they contributed by reducing their collections?
