license the Infowars website and its associated intellectual property from Gregory Milligan, who was appointed by a bankruptcy court to manage the website, for $1,800 a month

So the money goes to the victims, right?

The deal was made with the victims consent. I think more than the money, the goal is to get him to leave them alone, which requires de platforming because he just won’t fucking stop. He continues to defame the victims on air pretty routinely.

He continues to defame the victims on air pretty routinely.

I listen to the KnowledgeFight podcast for well over a year and never heard them comment on that.

He's doing the same shit to others, yes, but I think he's too scared to continue down that specific path. Also, and with all due respect to the victims, the Sandy Hook murders won't help to sell his grift anymore.

He's talking shit about the procedings though.

Somebody called him "not stupid". I don't think I agree with that.
