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‽

They're not the company being auctioned. I honestly don't know how to make that simpler...

They didn't say it was. But his companies are being auctioned of because he didn't have enough money to pay the fine. But if one of his other companies is buying those company of his... There's some shenanigans going on.

Okay? The court is ordering the bankrupt companies to be auctioned to pay for legal settlements. The other company is not part of that deal. So it can do what it wants. If you're still confused then I can't help you. But I'd start by realizing the judges involved probably know a lot more about the process than you do.

No one here is confused, but you.

"I know you are but what am I"? That's your response? Holy shit. 😆

Lemmy really is a hole...

I explained what was happening and you doubled down on what no one was talking about. Don't know what to tell you, man. You've demonstrated you can't follow the conversation at hand.
