He definitely escaped. I would argue he successfully achieved escape velocity.
He may have been facing criminal charges for insider trading. In addition, he may have been facing shareholder lawsuits for making misleading statements, lawsuits that could ruin him many times over.
I would either face the music or run, not kill myself.
If I did kill myself, it sure as hell wouldn’t be like that.
Obviously I can’t understand what was going through his mind though.
Are you the Muad’dib?
Isn’t the “My Pillows” thing, what caused them problems, to begin with? Self made problems for sure.
Pretty sure that's what Wilderness Conservative was referring to.
What a strangely written story that goes from the BB&B CFO jumping the Jenga bldg, to some unrelated guy who made money trading BB&B stock, then to the history of the Jenga building. Very disjointed.
The guy is CFO. The company went broke. Put 2 and 2 together. investigation underway. Some of that Bed Bath and Beyond money may be in his bathtub.
From 2014 to 2020, the stock dropped from $80 to $5.
In 2020, it suddenly roared from $5 to almost $55 in twelve months.
The stock has had huge inexplicable volatility over the last nine months - from $30 to $5, then back to $30, now at $8.
I suspect the SEC, IRS, or FBI informed the CFO they wanted an interview.
During the interview, the feds would inform the CFO that the only way he can avoid heavy prison time is to testify against the senior executives and largest stock holders.
The only unanswered question - did the CFO go over the railing voluntarily?
He could move if he was canned…
There I fixed that for you.
Covid killed millions. The shutdown bought us time for the virus to mutate into variants that were less deadly but more infectious. Masks help (Fauci lied to the American people, the science was always that masks would help). The vaccines were never a cure or total preventative any more than annual flu vaccines are. They are a tool of prevention against severe illness but nothing is guaranteed in medicine. People continue to die from covid, even vaccine-boosted people and certainly people who didn’t think covid was a thing.
As an essential worker throughout the pandemic I was and am continually exposed. I might even have risk factors. I wear my mask when dealing with the public. I got my Moderna shots and a booster. You do you.
I'd be willing to bet the clothes on my back that in early 2020 the movers and shakers at Rat Party Headquarters decided that the best way to get rid of Trump was to bring the economy to its knees. Fauxi was a key player in that strategy...as were just about every Rat Governor...as well as a handful of Trump hating RINO Governors.
Didn’t sell in time either.
The wrong people are jumping to their deaths from tall buildings.
He sold his stock for about $24/share in August. It closed at $23.08/share on August 17 and is down to $8.63 as of Friday closing, $8.59 in aftermarket trading, still up from $4.43 on July 6th. Whatever made the price go up more than five times between July 6th and August 17th, he may well have played a major role. It’s likely he’s played this game before, with other companies, but this time he was caught.
Whatever was bothering him, he’s at peace now.
Well played!
He lived large, and he may have been facing bankruptcy. Where can go, what can he even do. Teach high school? He may have been facing bankruptcy, jail, divorce, and unemployment, after being Master of the Universe.
That’s why I like being nobody.:)
