    A rival bidder associated with Jones, First United American Cos., offered $3.5 million in cash, or twice as much cash as The Onion’s parent company. First United American is a limited liability company affiliated with Jones’ dietary supplements business, and its bid had Jones’ blessing.

    How the fuck can that company possibly win a bid when it ought to be getting auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families too‽

    “I don’t even think the $3.5 million is enough,” [the judge] said.

    Cool judge, so you gonna put up the cash? Because last I checked there were only two bidders and the victims wanted the Onion out of the two.
