See: the miracle billionaire bail-out from a half-billion bail bond right on the heels of the merger announcement. I don't think that follows, and he reportedly put down the $175m in cash. That seems entirely conspiratorial. And the announcement happened months ago so it's not like this was some immediate revelation. It shouldn't be shocking that a billionaire that has supported Trump for 8 years would support him more. Zorral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That 0.5 bilion bail was reduced significantly on appeal to a mere 175m or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Trumps entire m.o. is, has, and always will be, to use other peoples money for all risk. The bonders, the Truth Social equity purchasers, all will be burned and the Trumps gluttony will contiue rollling around on thier gold piles. People have continually fell for the fraudster all his life. The rich guy worship and wannabe-ism is the main blinder that informs every Republican.

Zorral Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Yes, but this guy who enabled the bond, is a RUSSIAN. There is an agenda. This is just expenses on the way to enacting that agenda. DireWolfSpirit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I can't remember which one of these threads is the right one to bash Elon Musk in, apologies if this is off topic. Twitter restored the original model of blue check marks this week and got rid of the Musk scheme where you just buy it instead: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/05/media/elon-musk-blue-checkmarks-x-reversal/index.html Pretty amazing watching the purported genius get told his idea sucks, have him do it anyway, watch his decisions and management tank the platform, and then see him scramble to fix shit after it's too late. Why couldn't you just leave it the fuck alone? Week, Prince of the North, Tears of Lys and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are apparently not liquid enough to cover the bond (they have assets worth around 120-130m or something, which is apparently less than 175m (math the chatterbox of sciences)). And they also didn't deliver GAAP to prove that they are not liquid enough to cover the loan. They will have to show up before Engoron for a hearing on 22nd of April. I bet he'll be super impressed by that. DireWolfSpirit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I knew promise to pay is not a legit payment until, and unless, the actual resources are forked over to the court. The article was blocked by a paywall or whatever so I couldnt read it .

Wasn't quoting the article, merely parroting what the folks over at MT said (namely Popok and Meiselas) said. Youtube has to be good for something afterall.

He knows how to play the legal bureaucracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Im reading in comments section of a Yahoo article the following type of stuff- "So the fake billionaire who lied about his wealth is too poor to post bond, so he finds another fake billionaire to lie about his wealth, and he's also too poor to post the bond."

A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 As fun as that is, Hankey probably has the dough, if he truely wants to. He just picked the one company of his that was not liquid enough. Whether he did this by accident or on purpose is another question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Another pretty hot inflation print for the US. Somewhat deceptive as the main driver was shelter - other areas are still looking promising for the soft landing believers. But the double-edged sword of a continued strong economy is that inflation is likely to persist for a while yet. We have seen a pretty sharp turnaround in commodity prices in Q1, which is going to feed through the supply chain in the next few months and probably see more sustained price rises. The headline CPI number is going to be a headache. That likely means "higher for longer" and greater chances that we eventually see falling economic growth and/or a financial event (e.g., commercial real estate, more regional banks falling).
