5/ Steve Cohen (AKA Mets owner AKA billionaire savior of Melvin) played by Kelly AuCoin (AKA Billion's Dollar Bill Stearn)
6/ AOC (AKA the outraged lawmaker) played by...AOC (because she's mastered media)
7/ Ted Cruz played by ... no one, because literally no one f***ing cares what Ted Cruz has to say about GameStop

8/ Scott Wapner (AKA the CNBC talking head shilling for hedge funds) played by that cop that was complaining about glass in Die Hard

9/ Andrew Left (AKA head of Citron Research) played by Steve Carrell...because we need him in this movie

12/ More to come for sure. Smash that FOLLOW for updates.
13/ Jaime Rogozinski (AKA founder of R/WallStreetBets) played by Christian Bale because we REALLY need him in this movie.
14/ Dr. Michael Burry should be played (also) by Christian Bale, who can just pull the ratty t-shirts he wore for The Big Short from his closet for the exact same role
15/ Ryan Cohen (AKA billionaire Chewy founder AKA big backer of $GME and newly-minted board member) to be played by Zac Efron 🤷‍♂️
16/ GameStop's CEO George Sherman to be played by...I don't even know because no one know has ever seen a photo of him or heard him speak.

1/ Marcus Bullock went to prison in the mid-90s at the age of 15.

Today, he's the CEO of Flikshop -- the "Instagram for the Incarcerated", an alternative to the outrageously expensive phone call system.

This is a truly inspirational founder story 👇👇 Image
2/ In 1996, Bullock was living in Maryland. One night, he and a friend carried out an armed carjacking on a man sitting idle in a shopping mall parking lot.

It was the biggest mistake of this life.
3/ Several years prior to hit actions, there was the famed 1989 Central Park "Jogger Case", in which 5 minority youths were (falsely) accused of raping a jogger.

In the aftermath, nearly every state passed new laws that made it easier for courts to try youth as adults. Image

Amazon’s white label business

Its ~1% of sales and prob not worth the regulatory scrutiny.

Thread 👇👇

1/ The first white label product was the Amazon Basics battery in 2009. Within a few years, it had ⅓ of online battery sales, outselling Duracell and Energizer.
2/ Today, Amazon has 400+ brands under “Our Brands” (some are private label and some are 3rd party exclusives).

By one estimate, these brands collectively bring in ~$1-2B of 2019 revenue (drop in the bucket for total: $280B)

Here are some:
3/ Of these 400+ brands, the top 4 account for 72% of sales (all with "Amazon" in name):

-- Amazon Basics
-- Amazon Collection
-- Amazon Elements
-- Amazon Essentials

The CGI in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park was so good, it convinced:

• George Lucas to get started on the “Star Wars” prequels
• Stanley Kubrick to invest in making “A.I.”
• Peter Jackson to make “Lord of the Rings”

THAT is trailblazing tech.
Might be the best "Legacy" section in a Wikipedia entry

Mini thread on incredible Jurassic Park facts

1/ Steven Spielberg made $250m from Jurassic Park (merch and box office) -- its the single largest sum any individual has made from one film.

Tesla is replacing Aimco in the S&P 500 index next week.

After hours of deep research, I discovered why Aimco ($6B REIT) is getting the boot:

— it’s Twitter account has <2k followers
— I couldn’t find a single meme on the timeline
— it’s CEO doesn’t have a Twitter handle
This is Aimco CEO Terry Considine:

-- Harvard BA / Harvard Law
-- Colorado state Senator
-- Founded Aimco in 1994, owns 124 apartment complexes with ~33k apartments that brought in $900m+
-- Again, ZERO TWITTER HANDLE
