    It definitely sounds unconventional, just depends on whether the money the families gave up can be seen as “same as cash” in a bid format.

    Considering the purpose of the auction is purportedly to liquidate Jones assets in order to pay off debt owed the families, I don’t see why the court would be anything but neutral in how that bid was structured. Do you? Couldn’t the court could have just as easily handed the families this asset directly? The only useful aspect to an auction is establishing a valuation. How much is it worth in liquidation towards paying off the debt.

    The only issue I see is, now that they know the families were willing to take a haircut in order to obtain control over infowars, one of Jones cronies might want to come in with an inflated bid. Just to see if they’ll leave even more on the table…

    Rick, even if there were problems with the auction, my point is that EVERY story is either positive for republicans or propaganda. Don’t you find it amazing that republicans haven’t made one actual mistake in the last five years, and for all the thousands of propaganda stories in that time, not a single one came from the right? What are the chances that one group of millions of Americans could be so perfect, while another almost identical group of millions of Americans could be so corrupt?

    If you want to go back and check my record on these opinions here... you'll find I have right more often than not.

    Wrong post, I'll have to get back to you.

    Never said you werent right. I said I sorta hoped you were and it was stolen from him, just to make things worse for the piece of crap.
