To me they're buying it out of spite?
Seems like a waste of money, especially since The Onion can't be very successful these past few years.

Yeah, it's the OG satirical news site, it used to be what the Babylon Bee is now. That all changed about 8 years ago or so, weird.

"We're all going to an evidentiary hearing and I'm going to figure out exactly what happened," Judge Christopher Lopez said. "No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction."

He did not immediately set a date for the hearing.
