TLDR:
E-Bay management is sourced from Boston Consulting Group like previous GME board. IMHO this is why Ryan wants E-Bay. BCG destroys companies so changing management and policies would save the company from eventual failure and unlock untold income for investors.

There is no doubt that Ryan Cohen is a financial savant. He has a grounded philosophy on business structure and value for investors. He understands balance sheets etc. He also knows how to find new revenue sources with existing infrastructure while streamlining operations.
BCG is the flip side to that equation. They are professional hit men offering destruction to value until an eventual failure.
from their website:
**Key Findings on Turnaround Success vs. Failure:**
* **Low Success Rate:** Only 26% of corporate transformations over the past two decades were successful in both the short and long terms.

So this company is hired and they quickly install their own management team who they trained to manage operations and make financial decisions. Their success rate is 25% according to their own data meaning 75% of the companies they are hired to improve will fail. Who stands to profit from that business model? Multiple entities, but not investors. Shareholders lose 75% of the time when they are involved.
Some of us remember when Ryan became Chairman and he put his people on the board. They got right to work getting rid of BCG influence. BCG sued them trying to claim they saved the company and asking for their remaining payment. Ryan declined and they dropped it because their policies and management nearly bankrupted the company. If this suit went to discovery Ryan could have countersued them and exposed their entire game.
It has been speculated that BCG used a short and distort scheme along with board control and financial control/recordkeeping aimed at eventual bankruptcy along with cooperation from outside entities to sway public opinion and profit from short exposure. Market makers cooperate using naked shares from ETF's, swaps, darkpools, etc. to artificially inflate float and devalue shareholder value while profiting from the downfall.
The final benefit is in the "Bankruptcy Lottery. All shares go away when the stock is dissolved. Shorts are supposed to close, but we have seen plenty of stock trades after a stock is delisted between institutions getting their books straight while retail is locked out early. DTTC probably holds 50-75% more fails than the actual number of shares outstanding. Many are tied up in swaps and other agreements. The only shorts that close are retail and the rest are settled after delisting. Trading platforms may or may not actually buy shares. If they don't purchase a share they profit by not having a cost associated with the sale so it is 100% profit minus what the share was when settled with the retail buyer unless the retail buyer doesn't sell and the trading platform doesn't auto-execute a position close.
So the moral of the story is that professional scumbags exist and most of them work for BCG or have in the past. This brings us to the list of BCG plants at E-Bay. This is just a compulsory glance at management, but I think it paints a pretty clear picture of where E-Bay is right now and a 75% chance of where it is headed without intervention.
Management: from google search
* **Talent Pipeline:** Individuals with "Ex-BCG" experience, such as Bella Hancock and Leonardo Lecayo, have moved into strategic roles at eBay.
* **Leadership Hires:** Lucy Yang, a former Principal at BCG, held senior director roles at eBay, including in Motors Strategy & Operations and US GM of Collectibles. [](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/beatrizreyero_ebay-ventures-ebay-inc-activity-6998061734552875008-1RxK)
***eBay Global VP, Head of Corporate Strategy, eBay Ventures***. Independent Board Member. Ex BCG, Ex Morgan Stanley.
So just a quick look at senior management shows a direct correlation to BCG.
It is my opinion that Ryan Cohen despises these cockroaches and is doing his part to save companies from eventual failure at the hands of scumbags who profit from destruction of value to the detriment of shareholders.
The bonus from this type of take-over is the unsettled fails and tremendous short positions normally already acquired before the attack begins. This brings buyers to the new stock if it prospers and they get margin called. Tesla is a good example. GME is still in progress.
I am invested in Ryan... I am proud of him for standing his ground with the Squawkers trying to make him look stupid in his latest interview which was really just a veiled attack. They tried to instill doubt throughout the "Interview". Ryan just answered short and to the point while redirecting them to the website where this is all laid out for anyone who wants to take the time to read it a nd form an opinion. Their opinion was already paid for by BCG.
