1. Besides the Onion, the other bidder was a company "owned" by one of his most loyal employees, and funded by some friends of Jones, possibly with money Jones hid from his bankruptcy.
2. Jones probably colluded with other potential investors to keep them from making a bid, so that his own bid was the likely candidate.

It seems that Jones' bid offered more money, but some of the Sandy Hook plaintiffs offered to discharge some of Jones' debt if the Onion wins. The total value of the Onion bid was higher, it just had less cash.

I think it's unlikely that Jones will get his way and the sale will eventually go to The Onion.

Well, looks like Bluesky might embed?

When the onion starts streaming to the infowars audience they should start off with the idea that it really was all a hoax and the platform was never bought out. I think they could pull it off and then convince the audience of whatever they want

Ballet dancers are known for their clumsiness, so this checks out.
