r/Teddy is slowly transitioning language from "buying BBBY bonds" to "buying Butterfly shares!", equating them through a firm ape belief in a future debt-for-equity swap that involves BBBY, GME, Teddy, and increasingly Toys R Us now that apparently there's some news about TRU making some death rattle thrashing in some private market so obviously it's going to the moon.

Zero One: Dec 30, 2004; HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

quote:

I believe very strongly that everything we�ve been anticipating is happening right now, in real time, and right before our very eyes.

My name is ApeMama, a Reddit alt I made a couple of years ago specific to the RC play. I started with full time lurking in January 2021 over at wsb when I bought my very first stock just as it was coming down from the sneeze. I fell in love with a kitty who roared and an amazing businessman named Ryan Cohen, bounced from sub to sub as each became compromised, and devoured any DD I could get my shiny new diamond hands on.

I was there for the snortable red crayon that only just barely won the banner contest, bedposts and mayo, a computer-chair, weekend FUD, ice cream and a frog, DRS that went from a tentative 10% to all-the-gently caress-in, the roadside sign guy, cookies for GS employees, cross DReSsing Ryan memes, Wu-Tang Clan and a dark gray hoodie, buying moar (I do like the stock), all-night banking lights (revealing other snortable things), rocket stickers, bananyas, winking leaders, and the holy trinity of 7:4:1. I watched and cheered as DFV stood up for people like me before Congress, and I drank a final shot with him when he posted a St. Patrick�s Day toast in March of �22.

Like everyone else, I�ve been buckled the gently caress up for 84 years, and it�s a good thing because this has been one hell of a bumpy ride. I�ve watched my beloved stock disappear from my brokerage, and leave no trace of what I�d DRS�ed. I�ve endured gleeful chides and taunts that I�ve �lost it all�. I�ve watched perceived heroes called into question, and some fall to disgrace. I�ve watched grifters infiltrate our trusted circles and wreak havoc. I�ve found myself doubting who could and could not be trusted, changing my mind about that, and changing it again. I�ve thanked all that is that I never gave into the urge to borrow to buy more - the single-best protector of my zen. I�ve juggled paychecks against �inflation� to make ends meet, and fended off fears when life happened and I could have really used some returns on the money I�d invested.

The one thing I�ve never done: considered selling.

When all this started, I expected the MOASS around every corner. I never in a million years would have thought it would take so long. Now, though, I think to myself, well, of course it has! And now I believe this will be oh-so-much more glorious than any old short squeeze could ever be, mother-of-all or not. Not saying I don�t think MOASS will happen, only that it�s no longer my golden ring.

If you want the truth, I think this whole thing has the potential to literally and finally change the world for the better, and I�m goddamn here for it.

I eyed BBBY for a while and bought in (against the wailings of SS�s �only one true stock!�) When I first heard the rumor that RC sold, I didn�t believe it. FUD! When it was confirmed, I was stunned. But before long, I was as convinced as ever that something more was afoot. I knew in my heart that RC would never knowingly rug shareholders. So I paid close attention to any bit of news I could find. When I saw the GMEDD interview, I knew without a shadow of doubt that this play was absolute gold.

One thing I�ve never heard discussed is the fact that he never said (at least in that interview) that he sold because he didn�t like the company. Sure, he implied it, but what he actually said was this: [ums and you-knows etc omitted]

My views of the business clearly changed. And I was highly critical of the strategy � in the letter that I put out. In general, it�s rare to see a company go from aggressively repurchasing shares to losing a lot of money. When I saw that, and I saw the results � my views changed of the business, and ultimately I sold.

Ultimately I sold. Not, so I sold.

His only expressed opinions of the business were �highly critical�. Those opinions changed. And ultimately he sold. And, by the way, �every detail matters�. 😉

My god, I admire that man. 💜

As I�ve mentioned, I was a full-time lurker for most of this journey. Frankly, until PP came along and showed genuine respect for peoples� differing opinions and their right to spend their money how ever they saw fit, I had no desire to jump into the fray only to be mocked or called a shill because I didn�t buy into the �one true stock� idea. (Btw, if you want to mock or call me a shill now, knock yourself out. At this point, it�s practically a right of passage.)

PP inspired and empowered me - and I think a lot of people - to start participating more. I don�t agree with everything he thinks or believes, but frankly I don�t agree 100% with anyone, anywhere. PP demonstrates on every show that we don�t have to agree on every single thing in order to stand together for something we DO believe in. Mad respect and love to Mr. PP for that, and to Mrs. PP too, for supporting him in this endeavor.

So that�s just a few things I�ve wanted to say for a while. I personally don�t think we have a lot of time left in the state we are now in. I believe things are going to change radically for all of us very soon, and when it does, I might not have the opportunity to express these things anymore. The noise of what�s coming is likely to drown us all out, and many of us plan to wink out of social media when that time comes anyway. I�m more than okay with that, but I did want to get it out while I still could.

So back to what I believe is unfolding.

Consensus of late is that whatever RC is up to is going to be dropped all at once, that there will be NO ramp up, that it will all just be in place. Very much hitting the ground running. So, how? How do you have a bunch of enterprises already running when you make the big move to acquire them, all while keeping it a secret AND while all eyes are on you, dissecting everything you say and do?

This is what I believe is right in front of us: Beyond.

I�ve had suspicions about this since Overstock entered the play, but the whole deal has been SO confusing, what with �shared IP rights�, DoM, BYON, Overstock �coming back� after it became Bed Bath, and all of that muddying the waters the way they have. I believe that confusion was ALL on purpose, btw.

And I�ve run hot and cold on Mr. Lemonis like everyone else has. But I just haven�t been able to shake this feeling that he is not as he seems. Then there was the whole �design the logo� thing. Then �we got it� in reference to an inquiry about BuyBuyBaby. Then Baby and Beyond?? With that silly looking baby logo with the kooky eyes? He�s gearing up to be a direct competitor against Ryan Cohen�s Baby?? Really??

Friend or foe, Overstock was clearly privy to and cooperative of whatever it was they pulled off in court. Why would they turn around and try to directly compete with BBBY now when they know damned good and well that BBBY has a rabidly loyal following that they would be ludicrously stupid to cross? Nah. I just don�t buy it. Not for a second.

So there�s the gist of my suspicions. Then I saw this post on Twitter: [TIN FOIL ALERT]

https://i.imgur.com/dU5MxPt.jpg

What an interesting response, wouldn�t you say? And check out that list of tags Lemonis is sporting. �Plus many more�??

And, if you�re anything like me and you reeeeallllly like the chewiest of foils, check out this extra little tidbit I found just tonight when I went for that last screenshot.

https://i.imgur.com/ilNlIbz.jpg

�Exactly�. Make it make sense!

And now there�s this:

http://beyond.com

That looks a helluva lot like� a bank. Among other things.

So here�s my (entirely opinion-based) theory: Mr. L is setting up part of RC�s vision with Beyond. I think RC/GameStop(/Teddy/DKButterfly) is about to perform a/many M/A(s), snatch up some of these relevant entities (like a bank) that will have already been established, along with others in the works, like Baby. And Chewy. (Pure Teddy book tin there.) And who knows what else.

Now, with RC at the helm, a corn-less winter coming to an end (�an early spring!�), insiders like Bezos and Dimon dumping stock like crazy (smells like parachutes of gold) and this fun little five billy mystery purchase by BH set to be announced on our next (extremely compelling) hype date� well, even if I�m dead wrong about every single theory here (which I 100% acknowledge that I may be) I�m not the least bit worried.

Whatever is coming, it�s going to be out of this world. I have zero doubt. As far as I�m concerned, not even the sky is the limit.

See y�all on Uranus, friends. Maybe we�ll pass by a full moon on the way.🚀🌕

Peace.✌️🍦🦋🧸💜

Well that's my story.

It's been a few days since this thread got bumped, so I figured I'd give a brief update:

February 24th was the latest hype date for BBBYQ, as this was 10 days since the chambers-only meeting where the judge approved [insert baggie fantasy here] and it could be announced. Naturally, nothing happened.
Also on February 24th, Warren Buffet released his annual shareholders' letter. Surprisingly, Berkshire did not acquire BBBY.
The CIO of Dream on Me confirmed they have no active relationship with BBBY or Ryan Cohen.
The Plan Administrator gave a claims status update, part of which was calling that $11.8 billion claim "arguably baseless" and excluding it from the actual claims total.
One of the components of that claim is $425 million for "money". Like, actually listing "money", in all lower case, as a claim in a legal filing

Naturally, this is all bullish.
