The risk of a Streisand effect here is pretty high. Hope she’s thought it through.
Regrettably, were going to see more and more apps and websites that just automate this kind of abuse.
It’ll be sold as a new way to watch porn. Just upload a few pics of your crush and check the boxes for which acts you want to see, and boom, you’re downloading it.
It’s gonna be a wild ride for a while, no pun intended.
Ooh. Imagine the content of the investor calls if there is another blackout.
There would no longer be any hesitation to ban or censor everybody involved.
What’s the women’s version of this?
Which of your friends do you think is cheating?
The billion number is because the suretors project he’ll lose on appeal and then they will need to collect on his assets which he will fight tooth and nail for again.
So by the time they finally get it they’d only net a tiny profit for the pain. Hardly worth it.
Either that or the price tag is the “We don’t want to do business with you but we’re also not going to say no” price.
WITCH HUNT!
-Rapist with a half billion judgement against him
The government people who are in charge of collecting the dough from this judgment will be wise to the possibility that he may not have a bonafide buyer and that he’s just fluffing if he says a deal is about to go through.
Any buyer will know that he’s a motivated seller so the offers aren’t going to be all that great.
When the government seizes banks that are about to fail, usually they seem to find qualified buyers privately and the deal is over within days.
I have a feeling that because Trump has allowed things to get to this point, the government is less interested in selling at the highest price possible and instead will take any offer that settles the debt.
Revenue per head is no doubt a sexy metric, especially for private companies. If it was a public company then investors would call for the company to try and grow its overall profits by spending more on growth related initiatives… Perhaps by releasing half-life 3 for example, lol.
The great thing about keeping your company private is that you can get it just where you like and keep it there no matter what outside parties want. I could totally see Gaben is perfectly satisfied making bank at this level while also having a chill lifestyle.
Nobody has 467+ million dollars in cash ready for transfer at any given moment, especially for something like this. That would be poor financial planning even for a billionaire. However… It’s not like he didn’t have a heads up that it’s coming, so it seems like he didn’t have his ducks in a row here.
I’m sure even Elon or Bill would have to make some annoyingly painful decisions to get that amount of cash on short notice.
It’s telling that he is struggling to borrow against his properties to raise the capital. It suggests that behind the scenes banks are not offering him favorable terms. And even if he were to win on appeal, it will still be quite expensive for him. I’m guessing that in the bank’s internal analysis they project the original judgment will stand and therefore are considering how much they will earn after they foreclose on his buildings and sell them. It’s potentially sizable…
If the Trump name were removed from the tower the value might actually increase lol.
On the other hand, unless Trump is delusional (granted, it’s possible), he must also know that winning on appeal is a long shot and therefore this money, once he puts it up, is gone. I guess his efforts to borrow rather than sell to raise capital are his version of YOLO. Because he’s either president and figures out how to stall, or he’s old already in the consequences will be short-lived.
They have this crazy machine… Slide paper into it and then a hundred miles away a copy of that paper slides out.
Imagine you’re a government lawyer working on the US case and you show up to a deposition and pull your iPhone out set it on the table.
What are the chances that your Apple ID and iCloud are mysteriously banned for violations of the terms of service for which Apple can’t share the specific reason because of “policy related security reasons” before the week is out?
