"The Connecticut families agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion's bid, enabling its success," according to their lawyers.

"At the last minute, the rules of the auction changed," he alleged yesterday. "What was going to be an open auction where you could offer more money and top previous bids, but now they've decided that it'll just be sealed..."
