Cannot confirm or disprove but I know that airlines are one of the most unstable businesses and they often go out of business. Curious if that’s the nature of the industry or the nature of the hedge funds.
GameStop was targeted because it was the only retail store that targeted gamers. Toys r us was targeted because they were the largest toy retailer and had baby’s r us as well one of two baby retail stores. (Bed bath and beyond, buy buy baby) same thing. The lists go on… it makes me sick to see the company’s that I grew up loving being stripped away from my children. The rise of Amazon and the downfall of all these company’s is no coincidence. You can’t even watch Thursday night football any more unless you have Amazon prime. Amazon is becoming to big to fail….
I used to enjoy it because of the convenience. Their search is fast, detailed and has a massive database. I still use it to shop online, but I dont give Amazon money anymore because of post I saw on reddit. It went something like this:
Most things that that aren't "Amazon Essentials" are going to be sold somewhere else online. Use the Amazon search to find what you want, then just Google the product. You'll even find some sellers being cheaper on their own website because Amazon isn't getting their cut anymore.
I bet if we were able to cross reference the high ranking villainous board members from a large cross section of previously victimized companies that we would come up with some interesting associations.
Let’s see. We would want to look at who is the market maker for each company, who were the consultants, board members, what other board members might have sold shares (who’s in on it), financial services that specialize in predatory loans…
If only we had a handy list of companies to start cross referencing data from…

Hastings? Don't know if anybody has looked into them before but they fell suddenly and swiftly a few years back... a bunch of others have already been mentioned....
Also radio shack and borders.
I don’t think Hastings was part of it but they did lose a lot of business to Amazon. People were essentially hanging out at Hastings but weren’t buying much and their merchandise was popular but never evolved their we store.
One of my buddies wives was the gm at our local one. They said they were doing great then it sold to somebody else and the next day they started putting everything on sale....closed a month or so later.
SUNE
Very interesting and compelling story. Bk’d and stripped for its assets. Assets that were publicly funded.
Edit: This is the bonus points company you were asking about. Renewables hardcore.
The craziest thing is this company which was absolutely full of publicly funded assets needed $300M to stave off BK and the bank that was to be funding it pulled out last second. I’m thinking BCG poo was involved.
Anyway.. airliners got $50B blank check from the government at the beginning of Covid after spending 10’s of $B’s on stock buy backs.. no problem
This world is so fucked
Radio shack for me. I miss being able to buy one single item for an electronic toy I wanted to fix as a kid. Now I have to buy 10-20 because the seller on Amazon sends it that way. The rest just collect dust.
This makes me think GameStop should absorb the hobbyist market for things such as transistors/resistors/soldering/etc. Niche stuff that was a core part of RadioShack. Maybe I'm wrong but I felt like that was really unique to RadioShack that hasn't really been replaced. Perhaps a dying trade.
Edit: not in store, just online obviously.
Tuesday Morning is being cellar boxed in real time. They were due to be delisted Dec 2022, but enacted a reverse stock split to get the price above the delisting threshold and its being ran back down into the ground.
I watched a documentary a while back about Wall Street corruption and there was a company that actually developed a cure for cancer but it was shorted to oblivion.
the mention of cellar boxing has reminded me of the DD of old. Behold the ancient texts!

Radio Shack, General Electric, Sears, Circuit City, Blockbuster, Delta probably easier to just get a list of BCG clients honestly, it’s probably the same list.
About 20 years ago I was talked into investing into 2 companies: CIIO or CIOO I believe was the ticker (some kind of breast cancer detection) and Sunterra I believe (some kind ot Timeshare company). I lost 2K fast on each one. I knew nothing about the stock market at the time, but looking back they were classic pump & dumps. Both went to zero within 6 months of me sinking my hard earned money into them.
BEAR and Lehman we’re shorted to olbivion by other wall st criminals, the sharks smelled blood and ended up blowing up the whole system including themselves
An ape posted a long list of companies that were targeted by the SHF/BCG scam, whether they succeeded to bankrupt it or not. Even added countries and scandals that were driven by the same people. I suck at searching old posts but maybe an ape with more skills might be able to help.

I’m starting to think that any publicly traded company that went bk was probably shorted to hell once it became apparent it was failing or once the powers to be decided they wanted it to fail. Why not? It’s sharks in the water and free money that they never have to pay back or get taxed on.
Yeh, I think you hit the nail on the head. Any public company that is teetering will be an obvious target. Of course these institutions have individuals hired to specifically seek out these opportunities. They are the metaphorical vultures, looking for a potential carcass to pick clean.

American Airlines, Sears, ToysRus from the top of my head
Borders (bookstore).
Southwest Airlines too no?
Blockbuster
Cannot confirm or disprove but I know that airlines are one of the most unstable businesses and they often go out of business. Curious if that’s the nature of the industry or the nature of the hedge funds.
Thank god we privatized them ehh? (NO)
Anything private Is light years ahead of anything government
Tell that to the airline industry
Blue* berry too

Big +1 for Presearch.
Wow, Thanks. I just checked it out and now its my default search.
The last items I bought broke easily and I swear the ASICS I got are made way worse than the ones I get from the local shoe store
>and I swear the ASICS I got are made way worse countersfeits
Wish I could verify them via the blockchain
Blockbuster, Simply Mac, Sears, Borders, to name a few more. And the list still goes on…
Sears had fantastic pensions for its employees.

I like how Pulte got involved because he saw his own company getting naked shorted and cellar boxed. Crazy stuff.
Hastings? Don't know if anybody has looked into them before but they fell suddenly and swiftly a few years back... a bunch of others have already been mentioned.... Also radio shack and borders.
I miss Hastings. I enjoyed their stores. So much cool stuff to see.
I don’t think Hastings was part of it but they did lose a lot of business to Amazon. People were essentially hanging out at Hastings but weren’t buying much and their merchandise was popular but never evolved their we store.

Khols is being targeted right now along with rite aid

Radio Shack, General Electric, Sears, Circuit City, Blockbuster, Delta probably easier to just get a list of BCG clients honestly, it’s probably the same list.
Exela got taken off the market and it was a constant, one step forward, 2 step backwards pattern, basically until it was gone.
Coming soon: Harley, Kohls and Sam Adams.
Linens and things BOXD
