    Shipping/fulfillment costs are simply far more expensive than most people assume. If you buy a $15 item on Amazon, Amazon keeps about half of that. The seller still has to pay for …

    They IPOed in 2020 at a valuation of 13.7B. Any investors in those rounds made fantastic profits. Dress it up, talk about revenue growth, dump it on the public markets and make it …

    Depends on load. Somewhere around $20-40? Assuming idle around 80-120w, and another 100w for the e-waste drives in their pictured listing.

    3 board members (joined by Ilya Sutskever, who is publicly defecting now) found themselves in a position to take over what used to be a 9-member board, and took full control of Ope…

    "The board" isn't exactly a single entity. Even if the current board made this decision unanimously, they were a minority at the beginning of the year.

    One way to prove weak controls is also to show that low-level branch employees have the ability to override AML/KYC flags, and regularly do so. That's not just poor controls, it's …

    Here's the problem: "crypto stuff" is just the easy, low hanging fruit. That went away when the Fed began hiking. We're long past that now, with 30 year treasuries at 5%, and ventu…
