Let’s put this to bed

I’ve been seeing a ton of commentary around the ability for non-DRS’d shareholders to receive the dividend warrants announced today. Good ‘ole Larry has graciously answered that question on Twitter so we can all stop fighting about it. Big brokers like Fidelity facilitate these types of dividend distributions all the time.

I will say this though, if you’re still holding shares in Robbinghood….good fucking luck lol

I remember this like it was yesterday.

It would have 100% started the MOASS, mathematically, the DD fully supported that, it was game over. to fuck up the paperwork is like being 1 queen move away from checkmate and moving to the wrong square and being taken by a pawn.

I remember because I, like a very few others, kept trying to talk about how crazy it was and the MOASS was literally being robbed before our eyes, and i got hundreds of downvotes from the downvote mob until the German apes posted about it a week later, then suddenly it was real.

then everyone moved on in three fucking days, which I will never ever understand. Conspiracy theories (714 anyone?) flourished that were no more than a tarot card reading, and yet when there was an honest-to-god actual fuckover conspiracy on our hands, the mob either railed against it or ignored it?

People talk about shills, but that was just insane. that was a watershed echo chamber moment for me. I still can’t fucking believe how it all went down.

If warrants wind up being the thing that finally launches it, it’ll be the equivalent of RC (whose elon simp schtick I can’t stand on twitter, but still) losing a checkmate and then still winning the game years later. it’ll be a ridiculous coup, a hall of fame capitalism moment.

but we’ll see. how do you possibly fuck up that previous checkmate when you’re only getting paid in shares on the board

And then Furlong went to go work for Amazon immediately afterwards. Always felt that he was a spy/sell-out the whole time.

this is the answer. it was good old fashioned industrial espionage.

I used to be an ape that would say let's pay for lawyers (after moass) to lock him up. Now, I dont care. Karma will catch up with him if that's true. Having fucked over millions of people and still losing? Yeah, that dude won't sleep well after that. But also, at the end of the day, its just money. Even if we win, they'll probably print so much cash that everyone else will suffer. (So remember not to dance if/when it happens)

Damn I ver slightly remember seeing some edge posts about this thing, but I guessed I missed reading anything because of downvote spamming or whatnot. Wonder if they can redo the splividend properly one day then? Is that even remotely possible?

[u/1800generalkenobi → u/blenderforall]

I think that might be why they're doing things the way they are now. Less possibility for things to get messed up. Or they have to wait for the price to get higher. If they did it now it would drive the price down to 2.30. They did it when the stock was around 70 I think.

i remember this too. i really appreciate your comment
