They're convinced that naysayers are shills paid by short hedgefunds to make them give up their shares. It's a pretty elegant system for making boneheaded financial decisions: the more people tell you that you're an idiot, the more it strengthens your resolve.

no no you see, the ip is worth 15 million but the assets are worth way more than that. nobody bid on them because they're worth more. if they weren't worth a lot somebody would have bid on them.

This weird honors system, where everyone knows the assets are worth billions, so they won't even entertain the idea of paying pennies for it.

Oh they also think Teddy is registered as a bank for some reason. Pointing out that you need a bank charter to be a bank is apparently just something paid shills claim. The bank part is important for some reason.

My wife worked at a company that printed checks, and other security-type documents.

This guy and one of his idiot partners were trying to start some kind of libertarian oasis in Hawaii, and they thought it'd be a great idea to create their own currency.

The company filled the order, thinking nothing of it, and was promptly raided by the FBI. Apparently, you can't just start printing your own currency on a lark. The printing company just thought it was novelty money.

The FBI was ready and waiting to seize their computers, and even had large flatbed trailers on call to haul off the actual printing presses if the company didn't cooperate with them.

They shrugged and handed over everything that they ever had on the guy and never heard about it again.

I looked around for info online, but never saw anything about it.

The logic behind that and all the poo poo they stated is exactly the same as crypto and BRICS. Why do we continually have the same argument out of crypto?

article posted:

The organization, which is critical of the Federal Reserve, has repeatedly clashed with the federal government, which contends that the gold, silver and copper coins it produces are illegal. NORFED claims its Liberty Dollars are inflation free and can restore stability to financial markets by allowing commerce based on a currency that does not fluctuate in value like the U.S. dollar.

Wow I can't believe you all don't get it:

ip = 15 million

ip + assets = < 15 million

therefore assets = billions and billions!!!

ip = pi

pi + assets = < $15,000,000

1 + assets/pi = < $15,000,000/pi

assets/pi = < $4,774,648 - $1

pi has an infinite number of digits

assets = < $4,774,648 x infinity

The screenshots are all stupid, but this one takes the cake. These idiots have no idea what shorting is or what causes a short squeeze. The Gamestop squeeze broke their brains and now they see squeezes everywhere when GME was pretty much a freak occurence that is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.

the bbbaggy investment thesis is that their lord and savior Cohen is planning to launch an app called Teddy which will be Amazon’s biggest competitor but also an entire self contained financial system and use AI and basically be the Star Citizen of companies, and their wealth will derive from their ownership of this company (since Cohen will roll all BBBYQ into Teddy stock).

These knuckleheads are incredible. It's like a post-apocalyptic scenario where society unearths a pre-fall artifact and build a religion around it. Except in this case what they found was a collection of hedge fund internal memos.
