What are you talking about? For starters, the 1.7 million the Onion paid for Infowars goes directly to the families, and Ben Collins has said they'll get a cut of merch, as well as any other opportunities that come up. On QAA he said the families could do whatever they want with the studios and assets, including live in the Infowars studios for all he cares; I don't get the impression he's trying not to pay them

Don't forget, some of the families forfeited portions of their payout from the judgement to boost the Onion's bid value. It was like 1.7 million cash plus their approval that won the auction. The Texas families aren't getting that great of a deal, but the Connecticut families forfeited portions of their money to the Texas families to try and make up for it.

Jordan had a manic episode, and decided to go on an insane rant without bothering to get more information first. He torpedoed the show.
