A thought or two on the buyback - the shares bought back could be comfortably held by Rick/Byop and used for acquisitions or sold at high prices in increments years down the line while price goes up with a low float. Also, if they set out with a reasonable goal of buying back some billions at say an average of .001-2 the whole plan could come together quite nicely for us all.
There’s probably a good reason why they chose this shell and working with Tad. There may be some value in it that others have alluded to in the past. We have to trust in them to take care of the longs!
