»Silvio Berlusconi hat Italiens Politik über Jahrzehnte geprägt, aber war auch für Skandale verantwortlich. Ihm zu Ehren wurde ein Flughafen umbenannt.«

Haben die #Bayern beim Flughafen #München schon von Anfang an so gemacht … bei uns gab es nur leider keinen Aufschrei, obwohl die #Skandale und #Fehltritte von #FJS denen von #Berlusconi bestimmt in nichts nachstanden … #Eureco, #Augstein, #Starfighter, #Fibag, #Pinochet, #Botha, #Stroessner, #Wackersdorf etc. pp.

#23andMe, the personal genomics company, went public in early 2021 via a merger with a blank check company that valued it at $3.5 billion.

Then its fortunes began to sink.

Fading interest in #DNA kits
– 23andMe’s main product
–  was one driver.

So was news last year that #hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9 million of its users.

CEO and co-founder #Anne #Wojcicki now reportedly wants to take the 18-year-old company private.

After her own proposal to buy it was rebuffed by its board in July,
she was given time to wangle another deal.

But its independent directors announced Tuesday evening they’ve lost faith that another proposal is coming,
adding that because of Wojcicki’s
“concentrated voting power,”
they’re done,
effective immediately.

The company’s market cap closed the day at $173 million.

Losing its glittering board
– which included Sequoia Capital’s #Roelof #Botha and YouTube CEO #Neal #Mohan, among five others
– will likely drive its shares down further.

One question is whether a shareholder lawsuit might follow.

The Bothans of Star Wars are excellent spies. They've even developed their own sleep poison, called Botha Doze.
