Kinda, Infowars/Alex Jones was in court and being ordered to sell off their assets to pay the Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion put in a bid along with another company that "Totally has no association with Alex Jones", The Onion's bid was higher than this other company, but the judge basically said "Um actually, no you can't have it" and froze their bid on a technicality

Actually iirc the Onion bid was lower, but would spread the reward more equitably to the victims. The victims wanted it. The company doing the liquidation wanted it, the judge wanted it, but the appeal judge blocked it.
