Alex Jones

The bidder that lost last month's auction of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' assets had complained that the process was rigged and "fatally flawed."

The Onion's bid to buy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars is scheduled to return to a Texas courtroom. A federal judge in Houston is set to hold a hearing Monday on whether a bankruptcy auction was run properly as Jones alleges collusion and fraud.

The Onion's bid came out on top, but a bankruptcy judge must sign off on the sale. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the losing bidder says the process was "rigged" against them.

The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Proceeds will go to paying down the $1.5 billion debt that Jones owes families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who won two defamation suits against him.

No, you can't bid on his wares – not yet. The online auction is not open to the public.

A bankruptcy court OK'd the sale of Jones' $2.8-million tract of land in Guadalupe County. He owes nearly $1 billion to families after being found guilty of defamation.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones testified that he now understands it was irresponsible of him to declare the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax.

The radio host had been arrested in Austin earlier this year. A charge of driving while intoxicated was rejected by the Travis County attorney's office.
