In this News Brief, "Why US Media Has Evoked Israel's "Right to Exist" 1,001 Times vs Only 6 For Palestine," we examine the phrase "right to exist," why it only applies to Israel, what role it serves and why Palestinians are never said to have such a right https://t.co/gR3TIIwQLJ

The CEO of StubHub exposed in SEC documents to own a hedge fund thats scalping millions of tickets on StubHub making a fortune

Everything is a scam

“StubHub bills itself as an online marketplace for fans where they can buy and sell tickets, but it turns out that StubHub CEO himself also has a hedge fund that is scalping millions of dollars worth of its own tickets”

“The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange last fall. They had to file documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in those SEC filings, we find some interesting information. The CEO, Eric Baker, actually owns and manages a hedge fund by the name of Andro Capital.

Its business: selling millions of dollars worth of tickets on StubHub — So essentially, StubHub and its CEO are in the business of mass scalping”

Here’s a step by step of how the scam works

- StubHub CEO’s Andro Capital buys large numbers of tickets, sometimes in bulk from primary sellers, other brokers and events

- They then list and sell those same tickets on StubHub at much higher prices

- When fans buy the tickets, Andro makes a profit on the price difference, this is the scalping markup

- StubHub helps them by handling the listing, pricing and delivery of the tickets, sometimes with special arrangements or lower fees for Andro

The result is millions of dollars in ticket sales flow through Andro on StubHub, and the profits go back to the hedge fund that StubHub CEO Baker owns and manages

It means with his big money and influence he can move in early, gets the tickets for events, then mark them and rob everyone blind

A Mother Jones investigation reveals the FBI used Israeli spyware to secretly extract data from the phones of a dozen protestors.

The FBI isn't legally required to tell you if it happens.

Plans for the largest data center in the world have been abandoned.

Blackstone-owned QTS has decided not to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, giving up on the world’s largest data center campus.

Fierce opposition and organizing from residents of Price William County ultimately beat out Blackstone.

You couldn't make this up.
If you plotted this in a movie or TV show it would seem too ridiculous and unsubtle.

❗️ BREAKING: Over 2 million hijacked consumer devices, including smart TVs and streaming boxes, were quietly acting as residential proxy exit nodes. All of them, per Google, were part of the NetNut residential proxy network.

Google, working with the FBI and Lumen, has moved to dismantle the NetNut network. In a single week, Google tracked 316 distinct threat clusters, including espionage groups, routing attacks and password sprays through suspected NetNut exit nodes.

Detainees inside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in New Jersey are going without air conditioning during an extreme heat wave.

Families say the AC is off in one of the housing units, potentially leaving hundreds of people trapped in sweltering heat over 100 degrees.

GEO Group —the for-profit corporation running the facility—and DHS have not responded to requests for comment. Rep. Josh Gottheimer says they’re waiting on a part to fix the broken AC, but didn’t say how much longer it would be.
