They have thousands of shell companies which charge for the use of sets and studio locations that have already been paid for 1000X over. Don King the boxing impresario actually copied this strategy to the point men would win a world championship and they would owe Don King money because they used his sparring gyms, training camps, nutritionists, PR reps etc. |

I'm trying to figure out how this virtual signalling nonsense is benefiting them. ... Unless we're suggesting they're genuinely concerned about social issues and inclusivity for the minorities. :| . . Is reality based on geometry?

(OP) User ID: 77853495 Australia 07/27/2019 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've wonder just that same thing myself. I'm not an expert, but I think it would be a bit complicated to pull off, becuase the studios are all private companies. As such, there really aren't any securities to short. You could still maybe do something like this in a roundabout way though, but it would be more complicated and involve more risk in botching it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71004694 The bean counters can get really creative when scheming up these options and derivatives. I'm not an expert either and my theory is far from complete/solid, but warranted by the absurdity of what they're doing to their businesses. like we recently saw with netflix Thread: Netflix Loses $24 Billion in value in the last 6 days .

(OP) User ID: 77920923 Australia 08/20/2019 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Disney whistleblower told SEC the company inflated revenue for years [link to www.marketwatch.com (secure)] ____________________________________________________________ I think we may see more like this in near future. There was a lot of speculation about this by the Fandoms ie MCU & Star Wars, with regards to buying their own tickets etc. Some of the article cherry picked below.. whistleblower filings, which have been reviewed by MarketWatch, outline several ways employees allegedly boosted revenue, including recording fictitious revenue alleged that employees sometimes recorded revenue twice for gift cards, both when guests bought the gift card and when it was used at a resort Sometimes, revenue was recorded even though a gift card was given to a guest for free following a customer complaint Of course Disney outright deny the the claims and say they're "utterly without merit".
