Am I taking crazy pills or something?
It's not clickbait. They're accused of defrauding investors about Radio Shack, that's why Radio Shack is in the headline.

Scary Go Round
Everything2.com (holy shit! still exists)
The SEC's suit alleges that between 2020 and 2022, Mehr and Lopez, "made material misrepresentations" to hundreds of investors about the bankrupt retailers they had acquired. For example, to entice individuals to invest in their acquisitions, they said their portfolio companies were "on fire" and that "cash flow is strong." They also told prospective backers that money raised for a company would only be invested in that specific firm. That proved not to be the case
Of course, who knows whether it is true, although it sounds plausible. But absolutely it sounds like they intended to defraud investors.
REV was accused of buying a bunch of semi-worthless businesses and then pumping up their value in various ways from 2020 to 2022. During the time of the alleged behavior, they owned Radio Shack, and their ownership of it was involved in the alleged malfeasance it sounds like.
The fact that after all was said and done, they sold it, doesn't really have a lot of bearing on what they were or weren't doing with it years before, when they did own it.
"Consequently, in order to pay interest, dividends and maturing note payments, Defendants resorted to using a combination of loans from outside lenders, merchant cash advances, money raised from new and existing investors, and transfers from other portfolio companies to cover obligations."
You know, just some sparkling investment fraud
I feel like the designer responsible smuggled this video topic to him somehow, after not hearing from anyone who had noticed their exhaustive attention to detail
There is 0% chance that this didn't take a shitload of "unnecessary" effort, including updating the power lines every time something in the level got modified or rearranged
Yeah. The judge in that situation was pretty chill with me as well. I feel like it's like a lot of human interactions, if you show that you respect the other person's side of the interaction, they'll be inclined to do extra for you where they can.
And FFS, dress appropriately.
Random story, I once showed up groomed and in a suit that was sharp enough that the judge thought I was defense counsel (with the defendant not showing up) instead of the defendant, and I had to politely correct him. 😃
This?
The study that Trump's Department of Labor funded in 2018/2019 which then decided to use "justice-involved" in their report?
Why is that "democrat activists" or "democrat members"?
Which is fine as far as it goes, yet does very little if anything to address the body of the above concerns.
What? Of course it does. A near-unanimous consensus by experts in the field is worth more than whatever you are bringing up in your Lemmy comment.
I mean, it would be possible to lay out logic so compelling that even if experts in the field felt one particular way about it you could make a case otherwise, but weird strawmen like wanting archaeological evidence of Jesus's specific skeleton or something is not that.
Lol thank you very much. I have for-real started to suspect that people are making a goal out of having pointlessly disagreeable conversations on Lemmy about trivial topics for some unknown reason.
Almost certainly it is not that, just me being paranoid and Lemmy is being kind of stupid as the internet is known to be sometimes, but it's really hard to look at this conversation or this one and not conclude that someone is just being a pain in the ass on purpose.
(Actually, I think the inclusion of "democrat" as an adjective is kind of indicative of one very particular purpose for having this one particular conversation with me which doesn't seem to have any factual basis for the person to think the things they are saying that they think, but it goes beyond that. Usually it seems just random. There are just lots of people on Lemmy who will say something without thinking and then try to defend it to death so they won't have to "lose" the conversation, I think is the most likely actual explanation.)
