maybe he is a “driver” aka a manager of a group of escorts

I admit, I haven't been keeping up with the drama- who's this Bill Pulte fellow?

Hmm, good question. Let's see what the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation has to say about him.



At the time of writing, this disclaimer is the FIRST thing you see upon visiting https://www.pultefamilyfoundation.org/ and has been for over a month. That's the first thing the people running this foundation want you to know about it, not its goals or values, but that it is NOT ASSOCIATED WITH BILL PULTE. That's how prolific he has been about using his name for clout. Bill Pulte is the ultimate failson. Why has he latched onto apes? Simple...



He knows easy marks when he sees them. He wants the apes to believe that he's one of their precious Good Billionaires so when he launches a project, the apes will funnel money into it with the ferocity of someone who believes they are saving the world. He also has a titanic ego and loves attention, so that's another motivating factor.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Kais to be managing escorts via a shell taxi company rather than Uber if that's what he was doing? Like how would that work, someone wants to hire a prostitute and so they order an Uber and hope they get Kais? He generally seems to be genuinely broke and not the kind of person who would the resources to run any sort of criminal operation.

Granted I don't know poo poo about making money off crimes

Neither do apes but that hasn't stopped them from making massive investments based on how they think people make money on crimes.

Honestly though I have no loving clue what's going on with Kais. I have no idea why the more successful grifters like PP and Pulte give him the time of day.

Kais is a true believer who was in very early on and happened to just get signal boosted to minor celebrity in the community. Pulte and Co invite him along because he provides a thin veneer of credibility for cheap.

His backstory is weird and it’s possible he’s one of those people whose brain has just seemingly broken, social media and us politics and climate change is a lot to deal with.

I don't think pp is ever going to face actual consequences for the scam he's been simultaneously pulling and being a mark for, but interest in BBBY is going to fade when these dopes find a new lost cause to throw their money at until it dies a very predictable death.

But BBBY turned into BBBYQ due to filing for bankruptcy and the liquidation completed and some brokers have already removed the shares from ports because they are legally worthless. I don't think you can trade them on any network. BBBY(Q) is done.

Look as any top wall street trader knows, if things go to poo poo a little devil worshiping always worth a shot.

I was going to say it could never hurt, but I mean knowing these clowns they'd gently caress up the invocation, and so yeah that's not strictly true.

It's unlikely. It took huge institutional bets to make this happen for Gamestop, and now they've basically convinced themselves that the historic levels of short interest that GME had somehow aren't actually a necessary ingredient to create the MOASS.

A foundation moment in Ape mythology is when the Robin Hood app turned off the buy button. It wasn’t actually that nefarious, Robin Hood basically ran out of liquid money to actually close those trades, and other brokers could continue to buy GME. But if it was a conspiracy by Wall Street to kill the squeeze… why the gently caress would you ever put money into stock trading again if the billionaire class can nullify your trades at any time? If you do get the real mother of all squeezes, why the gently caress would the fed print a gorillion dollars and send them to you at the expense of capital?

Exploration is ill-advised.
Pratchett had it right about the kind of person who won't believe the word of scientists, experts, wizards, or the Pope, but will believe literally anything that a man in a pub tells them. Or nowadays, someone on Facebook. They pretty much actively seek out the most sketchy and absurd sources for everything.

Because to these kinds of people the rules of the economy are like the rules of physics. They won't just be changed to make a rich person richer (in reality, of course, they will). A company can't just declare bankruptcy, their obligations have to flow upward untill the fed prints $195 trillion to satisfy the apes obligation.

Like anything else with apes, thinking forward will just get you confused; you have to think backward from the presumption that they're already rich to get to where they are, logically.
"Sell blood to avoid selling GME shares" is the most terrifying statement in this batch.
