I see this as a good thing.
Jones was and is going to lose everything in the first place with that Lawfare judgement of 1.5 Billion Dollars.
In the second place - Sandy Hook parents were never going to collect one thin dime.
And thirdly - this sale to the lowest bidder (and a juvenile satire site at that) is a big FU to these parents in that they were not gonna get any $$$. Especially now with this sale.
I know it's really just a funny bit about how the English language works, but this headline seems to have two different meanings:
1) Judge is saying that no sale takes places until he approves the sale. He must approve the sale before it becomes a real thing. So things are up in the air at this point.
2) Judge is saying that he has received an offer he can't refuse, and no matter what the law says or how he feels about the situation, he has no real choice and he must approve the sale to The Onion. It's a done deal because he doesn't want his family to have a tragic accident.
The Federal Trustee committed multiple crimes. Now we are going to have rely on Trump and his AG to hold them accountable.
I thought this all went to court because the secret bid by the Onion was lower than the highest bid and the judge took the lower bid?
