The
never-ending
Alex
Jones
bankruptcy
story
continues
this
afternoon
in
a
Texas
courtroom.
As
of
this
writing,
the
shitposter’s
lawyers
are
challenging
Chapter
7
Trustee
Christopher
Murray’s
selection
of
Global
Tetrahedron,
the
parent
company
of
“The
Onion,”
as
the
winning
bidder
of
the
auction
for
Free
Speech
Systems.
As
with
most
Jones
productions,
it’s
a
shitshow.
His
lawyer
spent
several
minutes
objecting
to
the
admission
of
documents
Jones
himself
signed
and
submitted
to
the
court
in
this
case.
Judge
Christopher
Lopez,
who
has
sounded
exhausted
by
the
Jones
cases
for
more
than
year
(and
he’s
been
at
this
shit
since
April
of
2022),
admitted
them,
but
not
for
the
authenticity
thereof.
Jones
recently
fired
his
longtime
counsel
Vickie
Driver,
replacing
her
with
experienced
bankruptcy
lawyer
Shelby
Jordan.
Jordan
immediately
turned
around
and
sued
Murray,
Global
Tetrahedraon,
and
even
the
Sandy
Hook
parents
themselves.
The
complaint
alleged
gross
malfeasance
by
the
trustee,
attacked
the
underlying
state
court
judgments,
and
insisted
that
the
sale
of
the
IP
assets
was
definitionally
illegal:
Mr.
Jones
has
property
rights
in
the
Jones
IP
Rights,
which
he
brings
this
action
to
both
obtain
a
declaration
of
ownership
of,
and
to
protect
through
injunctive
relief
against
anyone’s
unauthorized
use
thereof,
including
without
limitation,
Alex
Jones’s
unique
and
personal
name,
image,
likeness,
unique
voice,
and/or
other
personal
identifying
attributes
associated
with
Alex
Jones
which
belong
to
him
personally
and
cannot
be
sold.
Among
other
things,
consumers
will
suffer
massive
market
confusion
if
his
personal
rights
are
marketed
by
anyone
other
than
himself.
Jordan
made
clear
that
this
claim
extended
to
cover
the
Infowars
back
catalog
to
include
any
recording
that
included
Jones’s
name,
image,
or
voice.
He
also
filed
an
objection
to
the
sale
repeating
his
scurrilous
allegations
against
Murray.
Within
hours
Murray
docketed
a
blistering
response
noting
that
“The
Debtor
does
not
own
the
assets
the
Trustee
seeks
to
sell
pursuant
to
the
Sale
Motion,
they
are
property
of
FSS
and
his
personal
bankruptcy
estate—which
he
notably
failed
to
include
on
his
sworn
Schedules
notwithstanding
being
given
multiple
opportunities
to
amend.”
Specifically,
on
June
28,
2024,
just
after
he
converted
his
case
from
Chapter
11
to
Chapter
7,
Jones
signed
and
docketed
a
schedule
of
all
his
assets
and
debts.
And
when
asked
to
declare
any
“Patents,
copyrights,
trademarks,
trade
secrets,
and
other
intellectual
property,
Examples:
Internet
domain
names,
websites,
proceeds
from
royalties
and
licensing,”
he
checked
the
box
that
said
“no.”
“It
is
beyond
peradventure
that
Jones
was
required
to
schedule
the
FSS
IP
Assets
if,
as
he
contends,
they
are
his
property—and
indeed,
so
personal
to
him
that
they
cannot
be
owned
by
another,”
Murray
argued,
observing
that
“He
takes
a
different
position
now
in
an
unsworn
pleading
because
it
is
expedient
for
him
to
do
so.
Concealment
of
assets
and
such
gamesmanship
is
strictly
prohibited
under
the
Bankruptcy
Code
and
related
laws.”
And
that
schedule is
the
document
Jordan
objected
to
entering
into
evidence
at
this
afternoon’s
hearing
during
Murray’s
direct
examination
on
the
topic
of
how
he
structured
the
assets
for
the
sale.
Incidentally,
Murray
testified
that
The
Onion
agreed
to
take
Alex
Jones’s
personal
handles
out
of
the
auction
so
they
could
stop
wasting
time
on
this
dumb
issue.
And
the
lawyers
for
Ex-Twitter
said
yesterday
that
the
dispute
over
the
sale
of
the
personal
social
media
handles
had
been
resolved
by
stipulation
(dashing
the
hopes
of
the
Infowars
fans
who
had
been
led
to
believe
that
Elon
Musk
was
going
to
ride
to
the
rescue).
This
evening,
Jordan
will
get
to
yell
at
Murray
for
a
couple
hours
on
cross.
And
then
—
god
willin’
and
the
crick
don’t
rise!
—
this
nonsense
will
be
over.
Drink!
