  1. Because Bloomberg is simply bigger. Ayala Corp made $619.5 million in 2021, while Bloomberg pulled in $10 billion in 2019. Ayala can’t afford to lose Bloomberg as a tenant.

  2. From OceanGate to "Star Gate." Update: What I’m getting at is the double meaning behind the OceanGate incident—how the founder ignored critical safety warnings, which ended in tragedy, and how the name itself fits the "-gate" pattern we associate with scandals. I get a similar feeling with Vast. “Star Gate” is my way of expressing the concern that history might repeat itself: a tunnel-vision drive to reach space, dismissing safety risks, and potentially leading to loss of life and yet another scandal.

  3. What is wrong with those news anchors? It's like they're trying to find some dirt, any dirt, or insinuate some sort of nefarious plot. Their questions sound ludicrous.

  4. I think that means you're thinking for yourself. :)

  5. No, scalping their future bonuses is not "moving past" the issue. The company committed multiple felonies, among them, are identity theft, securities fraud, and a soft form of money laundering. At a minimum, the penalty for aggravated identity theft is five years. For securities fraud, it is 20-25 years imprisonment. For money laundering, it is 14 years. Moreover, this is PER count. Wells Fargo opened 2 million fraudulent checking and credit card accounts using a form of money laundering to move money into and out of those accounts. That act created an artificially inflated value of Wells Fargo stock. Cross-selling, as the dominant source of this fraud, was one of the line items CEO John Stumpf mentioned specifically as the reason for unsuspecting investors to buy Wells Fargo stock. This is outright criminal behavior! For the ID theft, there's about 10,000,000 years worth of indictments, collectively. For the money laundering, there's about 28,000,000 years worth of charges, collectively. For the securities fraud, there's about 50,000,000 years worth of charges, collectively. All told 88 MILLION years. If 80 were used as the average lifespan, the government would need to arrest and sentence about 1.1 MILLION people to life sentences for the full term with no time off for good behavior. That is the weight and gravity of the crime committed.

  7. I don't believe it's cockiness. It's confidence. The guy is a scientist and he's wearing a pepe meme badge on their show. He's trolling them with his intelligence (and knowledge of the industry he works in) and his youth.
