Why is RIOT filing so many SEC filings on a Friday afternoon/evening.

Hoping people won't notice? More dilution?

> then that is when the "hostile takeover" will start.

Once Bitfarms turned them down and RIOT continued their stock purchases, that was, imo, the beginning of the hostile takeover attempt.

While we may have differing definitions of when it may or may not have started, but think we both see it going in a similar direction.

Hostile takeover.

No mention here of RIOT's attempt to takeover over BitFarms in what now looks like a hostile takeover?

Yeah, as I have stated previously, RIOT looks to have turned into a dilution platform, for the sole benefit of the employees (management?), and screwing its shareholders.

While I do not usually have an objection to a company diluting its shares to provide employee benefits, RIOT does not yet seem to have reached the level of corporate, let's say, wealth to justify such rabid stock dilution.

And it shows in the stock price.


My question at this point is... why does RIOT management continue down this path of shareholder dilution?

Got the SEC proxy filing today. More dilution to benefit management. Can anyone offer an opinion why RIOT is not a dilution machine?

Thanks.

or maybe ...


As a result of a settlement, he might have needed to sign an NDA.

** INTV promo on Twitter:

Unfortunately, X (Twitter) no longer allows me to view posts on that site. They want me to create an account, which I refuse to do.

So, if X wants to stay relevant, maybe allow public viewing? An aside, the SEC had deemed Twitter to be a valid source of company information because it had been a true public square.

Not anymore. it is now a private area with an entrance fee.

When will the CEO of INTV start posting company info on a truly public site?

WTF is going on with all these 144: Filing for proposed sale of securities under Rule 144 email notifications I've been receiving.

Is RIOT still in dilution mode?

> Steve needs to focus on the business instead of ...

With his comments about politics and, now, bitcoin, it almost sees as if the CEO is losing attention to his company.

As you say, he needs to focus.

For example, why not post a weekly status update of mining?

The INTV twitter account is about INTV, not his opinions on other things.

There was a name change earlier this year.

Moving? How?

>> We would be above $7.50 is they stop being pigs.

This stock is looking more like a dilution machine.

Shameful.

SEC Filing Alert

4: Statement of changes in beneficial ownership of securities


When is RIOT going to stop this draining, continuing dilution? I received five of these emails this evening. Five!!!

No wonder MARA seems to be lapping RIOT.

" Statement of changes in beneficial ownership of securities"

Wow, I keep getting these email notifications.

Why all this dilution?

Not clueless, but uninformed by the company. This is another reason why INTV needs a PR firm.

I hope that is the case for many others. We need volume here.

Now, if only the CEO can keep the political commentary off of the company twitter account. Since INTV does not seem to have a PR firm, that account is one of the main sources of information about the company, yet it is often littered with political commentary.

Short covering jumps ahead with a 31.3% decrease in shorted shares for the second half of January.

Has RIOT turned into a dilution engine?

The recent filings seem to show little more than a dilution of stock, apparently transferring the wealth of the company to a few select individuals.

Is that why MARA has been lapping RIOT of late?

What is interesting is that some here are focusing purely upon the company and its performance for the recent decline, when the crypto industry has been trading lower for nearly a month. For example, RIOT went from over 39 in November to 24, where it is now.

INTV's drop from 0.28 to 0.19 doesn't seem as bad. Probably because it seems shorts are trying to cover.

No wonder it seemed as if the shorts were having difficulties holding the price down...
