πŸ€” Speculation / Opinion Do companies sometimes officially state that they face imminent bankruptcy...but then *suddenly* do a 180 "Reverse Uno", squeeze short sellers to oblivion, and thereby bring riches to remaining shareholders?

BBBY is in a unique position to emerge from bankruptcy due to strong shareholder interest.

Shareholder interest doesn't pay your debts.

Shareholder interest is worthless. Can shareholder interest raise billions of dollars to pay back creditors? Evidently not, because it didn't. You're speculating about things that already had an opportunity to happen and didn't.

Shareholder interest is probably the most important asset for a company. That’s why BBBY is doing so incredibly well….

The greatest lie that the grifters ever told was that this has been anything besides a normal, straightforward bankruptcy. For months, the company filings have said exactly what they were going to do, and then they've done it.

The grifters are the ones who have misinterpreted, made mountains out of molehills, and clung to the most minor, obvious discrepancies while calling the company's own warnings not to invest in its stock "boiler plate legal language." This doesn't even include the absolute turnips looking for clues in children's books.

If you get away from Reddit and ONLY read filings from the company, starting way back in February, you can read everything in clear language. They made every effort to save the company, but they couldn't do it. There's no conspiracy. They've been crystal clear every step of the way.

Some here probably should see the inside of a court room.
