I don’t know if it’s legally required, but it’s fairly standard procedure for companies undergoing major changes like a merger to have lockout periods where the upper echelons of the companes involved are forbidden from engaging in stock transactions of their own company.
And this is why crypto so badly needs to be regulated.
I’m not sure plagiarism is a meaningful concept for government documents reusing previous government documents. There’s certainly no copyright infringement. If she hadn’t previously plagiarized, I don’t think anyone would’ve noticed this reuse.
Eric Trump complains that lenders laughed when he tried to borrow 500M for the bond:
Biden, taking on Donald’s foolishness is the schadenfreude for which a tired America cries out.
‘Large and golfing’?
He thinks it’s the amount they’re laughing at rather than because of who is doing the asking.
People are saying, Trump’s “Don Poorleone”.
Surprised that Biden didn’t ask how many other competitors there were. My guess would be “none,” so he’d win by default. It’s well-known that Trump cheats at golf anyway, so any so-called competition would be rigged from the start.
Yep, because if say, Intel was asking for it (they probably wouldn’t under any circumstances, but work with me here), they would just hand over the bond sans laughter.
Well, he’s half right. They’re laughing at the amount and because of who’s asking.
It’s Monday. Bond deadline day. So, any predictions on what today will bring?
Schadenfreude, hopefully.
Lots of drinking, if this thread is any indicator.
I predict no bond (what a limb I’ve crawled out on!) and the wheels immediately start turning to seize his most liquid assets. He may have a lot of cash on hand that he’s required to maintain to keep his loans from being called. That’s not Letitia’s problem.
Not sure how quickly the wheels turn to seize real estate, but I would not be surprised if today the first step was taken on multiple properties (filing for liens to be granted or whatever legal magic is required to fire the first broadside).
I am not predicting another delay or a White Knight, but that’s probably only because I would be crestfallen if that occurred.

Yes, but not doing that is why it’s so perfect. You know Trump will want to lash out at Biden for being sarcastic, but if he does, he ends up looking incredibly petty, since Biden was, ostensibly at least, congratulating him.

Trump “wins” his clubs’ championships regularly. It is to laugh. The congrats was definitely sarcastic, and just enough. No need to add anything more, but not because that crosses a line into insincerity. That ship sailed.

Yes, heaven forfend Trump do something to make himself look incredibly petty.

Yes, but this time, he’ll have been obviously baited into it by the guy Trump claims is senile.
My guess is that anyone who goes up against Trump in one of these “tournaments” is probably threatened with having their membership revoked if they beat him.

trump probably uses the ‘gangster hint’: “Hey Joe, your membership is up for renewal next month, right? I’m sure nothing will go wrong with the renewal process. Good luck on the course today!”
