            The tankies in this instance are Hexbear who would get the domain back when the Onion wins the bid and a corrupt judge disallows it.

            New appreciation for what the Onion does, making sure sealions are impossible without explaining the jokes.

              that (theonion case) was part of bankruptcy proceedings involving the assets in question.
