@OCCRP Well worth a read...and #bandenia provides a really simple example of some really obvious flags I've pointed out more than once.
Lets just look at this statement....180m in unpaid share capital....OCCRP are being too kind by saying "possibly"....
View 1 - THE COMPANY
$80m in current assets....we are awesome.
View 2 - Me....within 1 minute of looking.
This is BS. The current assets are clearly a debt owed by the shareholders as they haven't paid for the equity they issued. #fraud
View 3 - The #muppet view (typically crypto related).
They company is in great shape. it not only has $80m in current and liquid assets it also has nearly $80m in capital reserves.
This is a solid company....stop the #FUD
While obviously a pretty dumbed down and very obvious fraud. The issues are the same.
if a company is going to tell the world they make a PROFIT and every news site is going to spew that statement.
ffs force them to SHOW YOU HOW THEY MADE THE PROFIT. #cryptomuppets
On 12 April. I asked a pretty basic question 9over and over and over)...where did #elsalvador get the $800m to make the bond repayment in January....nothing but crickets (as always)
So I thought I'd go and have a look at El Salvador's finances....I'm working through the IMF's 2021 article IV consultation report
Why am I going through the 2021 report and not the current one......thanks for asking that's a very good question....pretty simple answer its because #elsalvador has yet to provide authorisation for its release.
@leomschwartz Not saying I'm right....but don't tell me I'm wrong unless you can show me I'm wrong....and the only way to do that is produce some real numbers. #provemewrong#tether
@gaborgurbacs@Tether_to@tethergold@paoloardoino Since the beginning of 2021 #tether themselves have purchased and increased inventory ready for sale by more than 79k ounces (which is almost as much as sold over that period). But zero interest.
Here's a question to all my #twitter peeps.... but some background first.
One of the first things you learn in M&A 101 is that the primary benefit of a share sale vs an asset sale is that an asset sale you get to leave behind liabilities and any potential unknown skeletons...
Now this is not true in all cases for example in Europe (my specific experience is Germany) if you acquire a going concern via asset sale employee obligations are carried over (that the simple version its way more onnerous).
But my question relates to what about when a company acquires an asset that's subsequent to acquisition its discovered that asset was previously used for the carriage of illegal activity. Say for instance a domain. What responsibility other than the obvious reputational risk.
