My understanding of the article:

° An extremely faddish product

° Stock previously valued at a sky high $4bn USD

° Sales dropped to ZERO

° All stores closed

° Stock valuation 99% lost

° Sold off to a marketing coy

° Worthless brand name changed

° New owner handed $50Mn by 'unnamed investor' to buy GPU's for renting out in LLM use

My question is why would anybody with a cool 50 mill to blow do this when they could just register a coy and proceed anyway?

What hidden value did a defunct niche shoe coy provide for the totally unrelated biz of a marketing coy dipping its toe into renting out GPU's?

Hail Mary play by Allbird exec who had stashed some cash?

Convoluted insider trading/tax dodge?

Money laundering?

Pump'n dump? (most likely imho)

In the end the only net positive is the worthless stock price has surged. I'd be watching very closely who has a big stake and do they sell off shortly after numb nuts stock investors throw away good money on this.

Complaint laid against early childhood advocate for 'deliberately misleading' parents, sector:

Dr Sarah Alexander runs an advocacy website called the 'Office of Early Childhood Education'.

Until recently the organisation had a group called the 'Early Childhood Advisory Committee' - which is the exact same name as an Education Ministry entity.

‘The ghost of Epstein is haunting Trump’s presidency’: inside the ‘Maga’ revolt

As pressure builds over the president’s broken promise to publicly release details about the convicted sex offender, his base has a new target: Trump himself

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress

Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

DW took me on an emergency kibble run. Just in case.

DW had temporary crown fitted. This one is some better. Cement flashings trimmed. Feels much better. Tooth is live (not yet root canal) so was a bit tender. The bellowing has stopped. Just an occasional whimper. #greyhounds #dodgy #people #teeth #shopsrun

Aren't all the DOGE people probationary so they should be mass fired?
