People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.

- No bullying or international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

You missed the critical middle step of pumping up market valuation so you can borrow against the hype.
Surely there is a dump step following the pump?
Or is it pump, borrow, repeat?
Borrowing against shares is the dump.
Have the lenders realized they’re never getting their money back or did the ipo cover it on paper?
He buys the previous failed business with the current pump to hide the losses. It's shells stacked in a pyramid.
