(3,471 posts)The Great SPAC Scam: Why SPACs Are a Great Deal for Celebrity Sponsors, But Not Companies or Normal Investors
If I asked you what Shaquille ONeal, Gary Cohn, Bill Ackman, Paul Ryan, Colin Kaepernick, A-Rod, Ciara, and Chamath all had in common, you might have said, Theyre rich and famous!
Or you might have said that you agree or disagree with their political views.
But as of last year, theres a new answer to this question: they all have SPACs, otherwise known as Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.
However, a more accurate abbreviation is SCAMs since thats what they are to most normal investors and normal companies....

(1,000 posts)But leave it to Spanky to steal an idea from an insufferable scumbag like Zuck. Easy money he said. Never had an original idea in his life, but then, neither did Zuck. But even a sure bet in the hands of Hair Fuhrer circles the gold plated toilet-think "casino."

(21,264 posts)people invested 300 million dollars and weren't aware that it was Trump's platform. I find that pretty hard to believe, if someone is that stupid they deserve to lose their money.

(9,580 posts)One night in late October,
When I was far from sober,
Returning with my load with manly pride,
My feet began to stutter,
So I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came near and lay down by my side;
A lady passing by was heard to say:
"You can tell a man who boozes,
By the company he chooses,"
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
