      Please stay informed. The losing bidder offered more money, but the victims of Alex Jones chose a lower bid instead of just giving the microphone straight back to Jones’ family.

        Strictly speaking, the losing bidder offered more cash, but the victims families offered concessions in the amount of damages they’d seek as part of The Onions offer, which would bring the total value of The Onions offer to higher, and that’s why they won.
