    Bill Ackman is a cockmunch.

    Andrew Ross Sorkin is a fucking cunt. Conflicted because the Throbber loves Billions. But Sorkin is a cunty cunty.

    Sorry Dave, you’re fucked. Nothing will come of this. SEC doesn’t care. Do you think Yellen’s DC home worth millions paid for itself?

    A couple of thoughts:

    1. This is great. Tucker is great. I like him when he's not being defensive and whinny. When he is I hate him. He's peak Tucker on this one.


    2. The bit about racism and occupy and all of that was an indulgent frolic and detour. Yeah, I get it, but this story stands on its own without all that shit. This is about big money and its influence.

    3. Guy made a good point: retail investors are not coming back to that platform. He fucking blew up his company and had to know it. Must be a promise in there for him somehow.

    This board is particularly adept at discussing this topic.

    Go!

    I like portnoy, personally...but he should watch out. The quality of people who work for him is....to put it nicely, questionable. When his barstool fund eventually gets audited, he is going to be in deep shit. And not from any wrong doing on his part. But the blame will fall on his head

    Out of the ashes springs opportunity.

    I see Kevin O'Leary seizing as being the white knight here. Wouldn't surprise me if maybe he and Cuban team up for a re-set of RobinHood. Cuban fucking hates the SEC and it wouldn't surprise me if he Trumps and runs for POTUS someday. That said, Jake Browning still sucks and somebody is going to step into the void as the bro-trade online broker of choice.

    Portnoy is the man

    This guy has a segment where he picks stocks based on drawing scrabble pieces

    Disagree, I thought it was worth noting that the platform went after the Redditt users for engaging in "hate speech" given how that same justification is now commonly used to shutdown all kinds of views and opinions. It wasn't the focus of the piece but it definitely deserved to be mentioned.

    Identity politics is how you break a populous movement

    It’s their strategy, Biden ran his whole campaign on it
