7/23/2025 2:32am No, but the way I've been doing things is clearly not the way things are done in the industry, and if I want to work in the industry I'll have to adapt.

7/21/2025 3:57am Jeff, respectfully, there's this theme in your posts where you assume (I'm paraphrasing) "if only these companies had a good CFO things would turn out differently." If only YT had "sophisticated financial planning and analysis tools," if only they were "watching macro indicators to understand where consumer demand is headed," and "looking at appropriate comps to learn from," if only they'd "started to stress test their model and realized they had a problem with respect to volume and turns against their debt obligations while running a low margin business." Instead, it looks like "CFOing was absent. Nobody was ringing the...

7/21/2025 3:21am dude the blur of a mad scientist followed by the utterly dismal "tink" of that bottom out reminds me of something from a Tik Toks That Radiate Vine Energy compilation. Cannot believe its real. I would love it if you guys did an interview with him...

7/19/2025 8:36am All true. Unless the frivolous spending occurred AFTER the PE buyout and was funded by cash from said buyout. That makes it all good if you ask me. That would make it church and state. Does it look good? Not really. Does the fact the Porsche article showcasing a mansion and two of the most sought after hypercars came out a month and a half before the company entered administration make it look any better?

7/19/2025 7:31am All that money he spaffed on luxury helicopter rides, sports cars and yachts could have been invested into the company. Would you do the same thing if your company was making losses? The reason this happened is because he knew he would be bailed out by the government or private equity, when in a just world, there would be prison...

7/18/2025 11:26am I'll send them a letter back telling them I look forward to cooperating with them when I intend to take the bike to market, which is never. If they want to get between me and my hobby I'm more than happy just ignoring them 😂
