🚨 RYAN COHEN VS. EBAY: THE $125 BID EXPOSED
The Board didn't reject the money—they rejected the accountability. The war between "Skin in the Game" and "Corporate Parasites" just went nuclear.
THE HOOK:
Ryan Cohen offered a 46% premium to save eBay, but the Board chose their own golden parachutes over shareholder wealth.
🕵️♂️ SUBJECT: Ryan Cohen & eBay Board of Directors
🕵️♂️ VICTIMS: eBay Shareholders & Sellers
🕵️♂️ VILLAINS: Entrenched Executives & Overpaid Consultants
THE PATTERN 🔥
Ryan Cohen made a massive $125/share unsolicited offer—half cash, half stock—backed by a $20 BILLION "highly confident" letter from TD Securities. The math is undeniable. The financing is real. Yet, the Board is scurrying to call it "uncertain." Why? Because Cohen’s model of ZERO salary and ZERO bonuses is an existential threat to their country club lifestyle.
THE EVIDENCE 📊
The Board is ignoring a 46% premium. They are choosing to "ignore" the $9 billion cash pile Cohen sits on. The "Evidence" they cited for rejection isn't financial—it’s fear. They know Cohen fixes companies by cutting the fat, and in eBay’s case, the C-Suite is the fat. They would rather milk the company as a standalone cash cow until it dies than let a "cowboy" force them to actually work for their payouts.
THE COVERUP 🛡️
The rejection letter is a masterpiece of corporate gaslighting. They claim "operational integration risks" while they continue to hand out eight-figure checks for "incremental tweaks." They aren't protecting the marketplace; they are protecting a regime where leadership gets paid regardless of performance. They are terrified of a CEO who "only eats what he kills."
THE CLIMAX 📅
2026: The proxy war begins. Shareholders are waking up to the fact that their Board just lit billions of dollars on fire to save their own jobs. The clock is ticking on the eBay regime.

THE EXPLOSIVE $BBBYQ BILLION DOLLAR TAX SHELL BOMB LITERALLY EXPOSED 🚨
They want you to believe the play is dead—but the bankruptcy dockets just revealed the ultimate backdoor maneuver.
🕵️♂️
BBBYQ Bankruptcy Status
The Legends from the heavens: Retail investors that can smell value from miles away
The Players: Judge Papalia, Estate Attorney Erin Gray, and the "White Knight" Buyer
THE PATTERN 🔥
On March 17, 2026, a standard status hearing masked a massive development. While the media focuses on "administrative cleanup," the estate confirmed they expect to emerge BEFORE all claims are resolved. We are seeing the runway being cleared for a structural transition that bypasses the standard liquidation timeline.
THE EVIDENCE 📊
Attorney Erin Gray reportedly confirmed approximately 900 administrative and priority claims remain. While that sounds high, the strategy is clear: the company is positioned to exit the shell before the final tally. The prize? Billions in Net Operating Losses (NOLs) that make this corporate corpse more valuable than most living companies.
THE PLAYBOOK 🛡️
To weaponize those billions in tax write-offs, IRS rules allegedly require "continuity of ownership." This is the smoking gun. A billionaire buyer cannot simply seize the NOLs; according to the bullish case, they MUST issue equity to the original BBBYQ shareholders to keep the tax breaks valid. The "worthless" stock is the only key to the vault.
THE CLIMAX 📅
Next major hurdle: Texas Tax Claims adjourned to late April 2026. Watch for a sudden acceleration of the 900 remaining claims as the exit strategy firms up.

The Netherlands was forced into taxing unrealized gains.
Their Supreme Court struck down the old Box 3 system in 2021. The previous framework assumed a fictional rate of return on your assets and taxed you on profits you never actually made. The court ruled it unconstitutional. That left a €2.3 billion annual hole in the Dutch treasury and no legal way to tax investment returns at all.
So parliament passed the replacement with 93 votes (needed 75). Multiple parties that voted yes publicly said taxing unrealized gains was not their preferred approach. They backed it because the alternative was collecting zero on investment returns indefinitely while refunding €1.2 billion in overpaid taxes from the old illegal system.
The math on what happens next is predictable. France ran this experiment for 20 years. Between 1988 and 2007, an estimated €200 billion in capital fled the country. 60,000 millionaires left between 2000 and 2017. The wealth tax cost France roughly €7 billion in annual fiscal shortfall, about twice what it actually collected. Macron killed it in 2018.
The Netherlands just approved something far more aggressive. France taxed total wealth at progressive rates starting around 0.5%. The Dutch version taxes annual paper gains at a flat 36%. Your portfolio goes up €100,000 on paper, you owe €36,000 in cash. You haven’t sold a single share. The government acknowledged this liquidity problem directly, which is why they exempted real estate and startup shares. Stocks, bonds, and crypto get no such protection.
The bill still needs Senate approval. Implementation targets 2028. But the EU has free movement of capital and people. Portugal, Malta, and Cyprus are a short flight away.
This matters for the US because unrealized gains taxation keeps surfacing in American policy proposals. California has a wealth tax ballot initiative that’s already triggered an estimated $2 trillion in capital flight threats. The Biden administration proposed taxing unrealized gains above $100M. The Netherlands is about to become the first country to broadly implement one at scale.
France spent 20 years proving the model fails. The Netherlands is about to rerun the experiment at 36%.
Thank you all for your interest in what I am doing here and on SS. I am actively working on posts some of you are expecting - GME Part 2, the Heretic’s Guide Part 3, the LULU and Palantir pieces. After these are done - or maybe before - I imagine the content and stocks covered will become more unexpected in nature.

The jig is up. @SECGov@FINRA
remember back in 2023 when $BBBYQ (trading as $BBBY at the time) had nearly one billion volume on the Friday before it filed for Chapter 11 and no one knew where this surge of volume was coming from?
guess what? ol' JP knew they would be. as the ABL lender they had to be informed and consent to the FILO lender putting up the emergency 54 million dollars to pay for everyone to prepare the filing.
notice how they're named here? the same way they are in the.. third. party. release.
The borrowing of shares trick is now exposed and out in the open.
Will anyone from the @SECGov and @FINRA has the testicular fortitude to show up to a press conference on 1/12/26 10am in front of the SEC building in Wash DC to answer questions?
