Strongly considering starting a subreddit called "WallStreetDebts" to discuss:
📍Independent directors who are clearly not independent
📍PE shops' shameless div recaps and financial pillaging of balance sheets
📍Sh*tty lawyers who violate ethics on the reg.
📍Arrogant judges
Wondering why $QVCPQ, the preferred shares of QVC have been like 🚀 over the past week. You can catch up on our multi-part coverage. QR code 👇 for your convenience.
For those that don't understand what happened here, the reporters asked a very stupid question. Ryan clearly stated that the transaction was going to take place using 50% cash 50% equity. We will need about ~55b to purchase Ebay so follow the math here.
Gamestop has ~$9b on its balance sheet and a soft commitment of ~20b from a lender. So we're at ~29b. so for the rest Ryan is pledging the entire market cap of GME (~10b). That brings us to 39b total.
From there, Ryan is going to sell his body on onlyfans, pray to god and beg the Ebay executives to "just take the deal man". That brings us to the total price of ~55b. The reporters are dishonest, fake news media strikes again.
The funniest part of the Sullivan & Cromwell AI hallucination story is everyone pretending it's about technology. It's not. It's a cry for help about the fact that we built a legal industry where "work-life balance" is a poster in the break room and the robot is the only thing offering actual help. The sanctions order should require a therapist and a week in Maui.
@DavidDTawil There was a recent FT article about how firms will raise rates because clients keep sending their AI-slop-based questions, increasing the volume of interactions and time spent.
Not a joke.
Every law firm is talking about using AI (Harvey mostly). Some clients are actively requiring it in ELs. This was bound to happen and at least S&C owned it. Every other lawyer at a big law firm pointing 👉at this right now is in a glass house.
AI adoption is surging among US employees:
50% of employed American adults used AI in their role at least a few times in Q1 2026, up from 46% in Q4 2025, according to a Gallup survey.
This percentage has more than DOUBLED over the last 3 years.
Furthermore, 13% of surveyed employees used AI daily last quarter, while 28% used it at least a few times a week.
Meanwhile, 27% of employees in AI-adopting organizations reported their workplace has changed in disruptive ways over the last year.
AI usage among the American workforce is accelerating.
You’re gonna start seeing hedge funders and bankers with law degrees go back to big law. It’s a complete paradigm shift with $80mm/3-year pay packages.
