$MARA retail shareholders, I can officially say that as of my last post about a half hour ago I have joined the rest of you in purgatory. @RobSamuelsIR has now blocked me too! Congratulations Rob, thank you for blocking someone who didn't insult you and simply asked for more updates. This is a live first-hand example of how to be a colossal clown. Over half a million dollars into $MARA related instruments will get you this form of treatment ladies and gentlemen! This should serve as sufficient documentation for future actions, thank you for making it easy guys. @fgthiel and @theRealSalKhan keep up the great work boys!
Not an unreasonable request for a group that hasn't delivered final results. I get it. I do believe all the news I just mentioned is relevant in the build up to those leases. Leases take time to acquire, but they can at least show us that there is some kind of progress. The fact that they haven't simply shows an underlying motive by management to appease large institutions
I'm honestly kind of shocked at the engagement this $MARA post got. It appears that there are a lot of people like me out there who are absolutely sick to death of $MARA management and IR practices. While this company has great potential and is grossly undervalued, something has to be done about this. Guys, let's keep the momentum going! If you have ever been unreasonably blocked by @RobSamuelsIR or are simply frustrated with how $MARA IR has been treating us, shout it out in the comments! Us retail shareholders should stick together, do not let management and the institutions crush your spirits because there will be a day where they are held accountable for this.

@hkhpmp Not true at all. The company holds a great deal of value. I'll probably be writing my thesis on its value as a company soon. However, this management has been atrocious and IR has completely failed investors. @RobSamuelsIR shouldn't have a job
@CK_Cryptoklepto@Ingsocexpat Maybe so. If he is, there is value in refuting burner FUD accounts for people watching. If he isn't, he may find himself better informed. Either way, I'm here to help people.
There is, people like @CK_Cryptoklepto and (on occasion) myself do deep dives into it. Let me give you an example:
1. They filed for additional MW approval on existing facilities in Hood County.
2. They were approved for like 300 MW in Nebraska.
3. Exaion is in the process of negotiating government level deals, per French news as well.
4. This is all despite a setback with Long Ridge because FERC wants commentary on the $MARA board's potential lack of independence from shareholders (most notably Blackrock and Vanguard).
5. Also, a motion for summary judgment on the Hood County approvals was denied by Judge Bryan Bufkin back in July.
6. However, certain nuisance claims against $MARA were also dismissed, and a joint 50/50 $10 million dollar legal fund was established with Starwood to obtain these remaining approvals.
There are good and bad pieces of news there (more good than bad imo). Did @RobSamuelsIR mention ANY of these things to investors since July? No. Guys like me gave been forced to do a deep dive. The problem is, we are losing retail to this lack of engagement, meanwhile fucking Mirgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Paul Tudor Jones are quietly accumulating more shares while the stock is being shorted and downgraded.
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet @StellarAxis. This prodigious young talent is an employee of the brilliant @RobSamuelsIR. Her last post on June 16th described $MARA's commitment to communicating with its investors. Since then, she has not posted anything and @RobSamuelsIR has engaged in an active campaign to block all retail shareholders that dare to ask questions about $MARA progress. I anticipate that she will be blocking me shortly alongside @fgthiel
and @theRealSalKhan
despite earnest efforts to be reasonably informed with material information.
Your behavior is being documented, especially in congruence with the various algorithms being deployed by the market makers you answer to for the last 3 years. This claim is further supported by the review conducted by the independent market monitor retained by PJM, which has shown that the majority of your shares are now owned by institutions such as Blackrock, Jane Street, Susquehanna, and Citadel (via options). Any commentary other than "this is false", which was the only thing said by Rob in response to blatant misinformation by Morgan Stanley a few months ago could help show otherwise.
There is the normal way and then there is the $MARA way. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are one of the parties that have held on to this stock listening to broken promises by leadership, endured sustained dilution while leadership walks away with millions every year while this company went from an $84 high in 2021 down to its $7 low this year, please speak up. Management should know how badly they are destroying people, and if there is no other good reason, then to mark yourself as a party that has sustained losses at the hands of the corrupt leadership. I can assure you that there are parties who would like to see justice served, and that cannot happen without your voices.
To effectively stonewall us and take the blame for management's unwillingness to communicate. If that is his wish, we should let the world know how hard Rob works at ignoring us. I think it's only fair if they are going to perk us around. Who knows, maybe together we can show a collective lack of reasonable communication of material information...

Who says I haven't bud? Sounds to me like you'd prefer that hardworking retail shareholders sell their shares of an undervalued albeit abused stock as opposed to Market Makers finally giving this thing the push it deserves. Feel free to give your buddies at Citadel a call, maybe they'll help your shorts out even more tomorrow.
Their EPS is positive and have you seen the expansion he is doing? We forgetting $SPCX? One could argue @fgthiel has Velaura. Has he talked about it at all other than a "glad to be part of this journey" post? Shareholders know what Elon is planning, we have absolutely 0 idea what Fred wants to do other than "sign two leases by EOY". This is one of those things that is an absolute no-brainer, please use a better example sir.
“Glad to be part of the journey.” @fgthiel
Meanwhile, shareholders have endured weeks of relentless declines.
When will we see meaningful progress, clear communication, and accountability from management?
$MARA
You know what else he does? He executes on his promises. Elon Musk can do almost anything he he likes so long as the shareholders get paid. His shareholders haven't eaten a fucking 90%+ drawdown over 5 years and then get blocked by the IR team. How are you going to even remotely compare the two things?
$MARA So instead of @RobSamuelsIR actually addressing my/our concern about $MARA IR's lack of presence, he decides to block a shareholder that's been around longer than he's been employed by a multiple of years. Not really seeing what triggered you. I've posted several complaints and you've ignored them all. Not from just me, from everyone. Back in the day you could email MARA's IR and get a response. Now? Pretty sure everything goes without a reply regardless of topic. You have a responsibility in your position. My only suggestion ever has been that you actually do it. If someone were to ask me what you've accomplished in your time at $MARA, I'd be as silent as you are now. You burned bridges, not me. I'm always open for a discussion. Good luck Rob. @fgthiel@theRealSalKhan
Love the analogy, so I'll speak in analogue. If you own the MAJORITY of the shares, you're the husband. We are the side piece in this case. We have no say in the leadership nor do we have a say in how that leadership conducts itself. Minority shareholders have been getting fucked for 5 years straight with no say. You've been getting fucked this entire time regardless of your silence and you're still afraid, huh? @MorganStanley and their analyst Stephen Byrd, double downgraded MARA while they purchased 1.5 million more shares in Q2. They'll keep doing what they do, but the world has the right to know.
I have only ever shorted $MARA as a hedge to a much larger position. There is every reason to tag these folks. They have a day in the management, and the public should know about it. Your point of view about me being short is myopic. Don't you see that these institutions are the ones who make the decisions there? They aren't going to wake up and say they are shorting us because big bad Glenn said something mean. They do not give a fuck, they run an algorithm. They only care about the amount of call premium purchased on any given week.
I also am not "hurting" $MARA, I am pushing for at least some minor reform and communication. You want anything to change? It starts with these guys. That, or we get bled dry until they execute God knows what plan.
They will do whatever they like regardless of whether I tag them or not buddy. People need to be aware of what they are doing, and some aren't. What's the point of just calling out puppets who do not have real authority. Any one of these groups could choose to vote for a CEO and they purposely keep the current committee in.
@pennapa123@RobSamuelsIR Thank you, but I'm not a fan of lying down either 🤣. Let's get the remainder of $MARA retail together. It's at least worth a pulse check. @RobSamuelsIR is about be a motherfucking rally call.
