Jesus Christ, Bill. The “Kid” explains that he was running a Ponzi scheme: “...raise enough financing to make customers substantially whole.” Strange optics to be championing this guy. I'd stick to bashing Coke and Pepsi. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Tether bleeding another $1.5 billion and $9 billion over the past week. The fraud of unaudited reserves will be readily apparent. Commercial paper? A lie. Treasuries? So far beyond Madoff. Who believes this nonsense? Massive Ponzi. If you are still in you get what you deserve. https://twitter.com/...

Tether's accounting firm says Tether holds $20.1B in commercial paper, down 17% QoQ; Tether had $82.4B+ in total assets on March 31 and $82.2B in liabilities

but it's worth noting that Tether has a $100k USD transaction minimum, so this wasn't a universal option... https://www.bloomberg.com/... Mindao / @mindaoyang : Tether (USDT) relea...

That's $500 million to more than $600 million. Rob from the fools, give to the poor insiders. What a deal. But it's a brokerage firm. With capital requirements. Growing revenues will require new capital, either retained profit or new capital. Regardless, let's talk dilution. 10/

Including proceeds from the IPO, the VAST MAJORITY of capital will have been raised just in the past two years, mostly 2021. Reread the breakdown of how much capital the IPO buyers are investing and what percent of the company they will own. This makes SPACs look non-dilutive. 5/

If Robin Hood robbed the rich to give to the poor, the modern-day version is now in the business of gutting the sheep and pocketing the wealth of the retail speculator for himself. Fleecing at least. “Robinhood is democratizing finance for all,” reads the prospectus. Sure. 2/

The expected $2.3B brought to the party by new shareholders represents almost 30% of all of capital raised since 2013, including proceeds raised in the offering. For their money these new “investors” will only own 7% of the company and far less voting rights. Dilution, baby. 4/
