Alex Jones’ controversial media empire, Infowars, is officially on the auction block. After a ruling from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Texas, two major auction firms—Tranzon Asset Advisors and ThreeSixty Asset Advisors—have unveiled the process for bidding on assets tied to Jones’ embattled business, Free Speech Systems, LLC.
Funds generated from this sale will be distributed by the Trustee under the guidelines of the US Bankruptcy court and for the benefit of estate creditors, largely comprised of the families of the Sandy Hook victims.
The race is on for potential buyers, with an initial bid deadline set for November 8. And if you think this sale is business as usual, think again. The assets up for grabs include far more than just domain names and old equipment.
A Piece of Infowars History—Or All of It
Bidders can pick from a variety of Infowars’ intellectual property, including media production rights, an extensive archival library, and even the company’s e-commerce operation, which sold everything from nutritional supplements to survival gear. But for those with bigger ambitions? The entire Infowars package is up for grabs. Everything—intellectual property, production equipment, even the chance to negotiate leasing the current facilities—is on the table.
What’s not in the fine print? Restrictions. Buyers will have the freedom to do whatever they want with the assets, whether that means continuing Infowars’ operations or going in a completely new direction. Want to make your own podcast empire? Go for it. Prefer to hold onto those Infowars domain names for… something else? That’s your call.
How the Bidding Will Work
First, you’ve got to be in it to win it. All bids must be in by November 8, along with a 10% deposit. After the initial review, qualifying bidders will go head-to-head in a live auction on November 13. That’s where the real action happens, with multiple rounds expected to determine the top offers. Even if you make a strong bid, it’s no guarantee—the trustee has the final say on which bids get accepted.
But the sale doesn’t end there. Anything that doesn’t sell by November 13? That goes into a public online auction on December 10. From high-tech production equipment to a motorhome and even a Terradyne armored truck, it’s anyone’s guess what kind of oddities could be available for a fraction of their original cost.
