Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron said satirical news publication won the bidding for Alex Jones' Infowars at a bankruptcy auction, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax.

The sale ends Jones’s 25-year run controlling the conspiracy theorist website that peddled claims the Sandy Hook school shooting was a “hoax.”

The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably Infowars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.
