Ohio’s governor seat is up for grabs this year.
Democrats are running Amy Acton, who was essentially the face of the COVID response as she ran the Department of Health at the time and was doing all of the updates with the current governor.
Republicans are running Vivek Ramaswamy, the former DOGE lackey and biopharma grifter billionaire who was briefly in the GOP presidential primary and during that time showed up to Pulte’s airport hangar BBBY rally to give a speech to a very confused crowd of broke apes.

I'm still holding some BBBY

Grifter.
I don't doubt that prior to the bankruptcy and eventual cancellation he may have believed BBBY was going somewhere but I don't think he believes any of the "we won!" shit he spouts.
However, he definitely believes in the 500 and pop that folks were donating to him for no reason other than some other idiot told them to. I think that whole episode dinged his brain in the same way that a big win gets under a gambler's skin, and now he's hoping that some combination of spirited tweets can recreate that moment and fund his vape n whiskey needs.

what are you doing here then?
I mean... we told you in 2021 that if you expect hope and prayers to get you to the finish line you should sell right away, but you wanted to find out that we told you the truth on your own...
But yes... Gamestop, a failing company that was driven towards bankruptcy by private equity, before ryan cohen bought in and instantly caused a 10x in price, before planning his restructuring, is exactly the same as BBBY that was driven towards bankruptcy by private equity when RC bought himself in and then withdrew again.
Private Equity is Retail Ownership and Retail Ownership is Private Equity. You have it figured out. 👍😁

He's addicted to get rich quick schemes and definitely seems to initially buy into the hype, but he's also got that grifter instinct of wanting to try and recruit others to help pump a stock/crypto.
He was an irrelevant loser before BBBY, but then he kind of became the 'home' for BBBY DD writers and whatnot and so became a defacto leader of the community. Which really got him stuck in on the grifting side of things, especially after that one glorious day in Florida when he first went to visit Pulte and was suddenly raking in $500 donations at Ploot's request, which kept going for like a couple months and he made over $50,000 on that ultimately. At that point, that was all the affirmation he needed, he was going to stay all-in on this grift, which had finally rewarded him. And he's never had, and never will again have so many people looking up to him and praising him, so he's clinging to this BBBY grift for all his life, even though it's generally pretty much dead and he's not making any money on it anymore. He did a little crypto scam and probably made another chunk of thousands off of, but that's died off now, too.
But he'll never completely give up the grift now, cuz like a dog whose been rewarded after begging for treats at the table just once, he's gonna keep coming back hoping it'll happen again.

The remnants of BBBY are probably collecting dust in some forgotten filing cabinet and he’s talking like Nicholas Cage is on the national treasure mission that leads to endless riches behind the towel wall.

My read is that Pulte told him off the record in no uncertain terms that this thing was toast - Bill is very dumb but he isn’t that dumb. It would also cost him next to nothing to have a lawyer or finance guy spend the five minutes it would take to read the highlights of that bankruptcy plan and know that BBBY is a zero.
There’s a reason Bill stuck with the “you were robbed, get a lawyer” line instead of the “you’re all going to be rich” stuff that the rest of these clowns commit to.

I believed PP to be a true believer for a lot longer than most, but at this point I don't think he possibly could be. He doesn't have the fire in his heart that guys like Jake, Sal and Third Reich Mike do. He basically pops up every other week to say "we won guys" for the 600th time then vanishes again, very occasionally bothering to go on longer (but still incredibly low effort) spiels as seen here. That said, I do still think he held a substantial BBBY position into cancellation. Nothing close to what he's claimed, but not nothing, either. The guy is *painfully* fucking stupid.

Cohen doesn't need money from Gamestop, he is sill using the 25M he made from the BBBY pump and dump
