Then last year, it was revealed that satirical news website The Onion - together with the victims' families - had put in a bid to acquire Infowars, but this was later rejected by a federal judge on the basis that there had been a lack of transparency in the auction process.

That wasn't the end of the story, however, as Texas Judge Maya Guerra Gamble later ordered that the website and its various assets could indeed be sold to help pay the money Jones owed the families.Then just last week, Jones appealed to the US Supreme Court, asking them to intervene to prevent his website being sold off. His lawyer noted that if nothing was done to stop it, "InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

Unfortunately for Jones, however, the Supreme Court has since rejected his case.

"The Supreme Court properly rejected Jones's latest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused," said Chris Mattei, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families.

"We look forward to enforcing the jury's historic verdict and making Jones and Infowars pay for what they have done."
