    How are the streets not running with blood?

      Corruption.

      Fire all the regulators, find some shit to pump, get all your buddies in, have the NASDAQ make special rules for you, then everyone who bought in private sells on open when the index funds have to buy in. Many pensions may be legally forced to buy this shit to satisfy regulations.

      It’s fucked. Well over 100x revenue multiples at IPO. They just filled their S1.

      The market makers are turning index funds into 2008’s CDOs.
