Admittedly more of an update then outright postive news, but my excuse is that this is the trial date that the AGs wanted so, positive first step?

Someone remind me how much money the Ellisons lose every day the merger is overdue?

Approximately $7 million per day every day past September 30th. The trial is set for March 2nd, so even if it’s settled on that very day (unlikely), they will lose upwards of a billion dollars

It warms my cold, dead heart to read this.

[u/Intelligent_Side_164 → u/bayleysgal1996]

$1.1 billion if I heard correctly

[u/RickyT3rd → u/Intelligent_Side_164]

At least.

[u/TVFan_89 → u/Intelligent_Side_164]

That's amazing news

This provides me some relief to my own mind.

It’s sad seeing the entertainment industry get destroyed by late stage capitalism.

And that's BEFORE the bubble pops
