I did not know one could pull that kind of data from my posts here, I am equally impressed and terrified... Usually, I comment on mobile. And if I realized one thing, my orthography takes a very serious hit when typing on a phone, compared

You do know that there is a difference between letting information slip and actively participating in insider trading?

You sure don't want artifical intelligence on chips competing with natural intelligence you ise as your chips, do you?

Ah, the "FT is conspiring with shortsellers to ruin Wirecard" BS Wirecard was aggressively pushing back the day. Just shows how persistent lies and propaganda can be.

Did this come up during the EY trials? Because this is the forat time I ever heard that.

I was joking, the max I ever "lost" was a couple 100k of inventory, the majority of it was recovered and the reminder, as far as I know, covered by insurance. Also a, surprisingly similar, fun story involving just slightly differe

Don't forget money laundering. It is just tad too high profile for my, compketely unprofessional, taste. Worked long enough so, didn't it?

Always happy to be corrwcted and learn something new, unfortunately the FT link is behind a paywall... If memory serves well so, it is quite a while I read Dan McCrum's book, Wirecard produced documents from the Asian banks (fake ones,

Good nitpick. Thing is, the proof EY got from Wirecard was good enough to meet these thresholds, at least I never read or heard anything else. All that evidence was fabricated, of course. What EY did was ignoring all the warning signs they

Which could be used as another reason to look into them, right?

The audits done by the Big 5 in this context have nothing to do with taxes so.

by hef19898 3y ago
Highly recommended as well from my side!

by hef19898 3y ago
EY believed the documents shown to them. Sloppy for sure, and EY got their amount of flak for it. People litteraly went to the banks in Asia during the extraordinary audit, something that is not usually done during "normal" audits

And there I was, believing Marsalek was just another useful idiot, and not a full blown GRU operative. I ahve to say, I am impressed a little bit. Just puzzled about the whole goal of this operation. And bit worried the Wirecard management

Ever since 2017 or so, Amazon is running a global experiment on how far you can drive prices up, and reduce customer service, without loosing customers. I highly appreciate Khan and what she's doing, it was loooong over due. Driving up

Some of the problems people have when it comes to Amazons financials, or any other companies at that, is the (in)ability to differenciate between cash flow (Amazon retail) and profits (AWS, marketplace and FBA). Once you grasp that, all of

Marketplace fees are semi-public, so ine extrapolate. For Amazon's books, DOJ can just ask either the SEc (also public data) or subpoena Amazon or its auditors. One has to wonder so, nobody knows those details about any other company,

by hef19898 3y ago
So, I guess after 5+ years after having left Amazon I feel I can provide some insight, mostly based on SEC filings (unless we accuse Amazon of cooking the books, those tell us the aggregated "truth") and conclussions drawn from my

So, kind of like a weird pro-life take on businesses then? Seriously so, why would you priorotize some potential future business over an existing one? To pamper founders?

A vassal? This is getting better and better... Sonall NATO memebers are subservient vassal states of the US, Japan is what? An occupied territory? Just as a heads up: Trump ain't President at the moment, and when he was, the US was wea

So? We have our own companies optimizing their taxes as it is.

Remove "foreign" from your proposal, and I am all for it. But yeah, it is a start either way!

Not everyone in finance, or running a public company, is a financial engineer skirting or breaking the rules. Agree on developing some financial basics so, this only helps!

Simple bio mechanics so: the leverage and overall force are the same in zombie body (ignoring voodoo magic) as they are in human one, intentional injuries and hoing beyond the pain limit nonwithstanding. And zombies are, again ignoring vood

THAT is a great idea! Would one of those leave blowers work? Ideally a battery powered one?
