36 officials, including five admirals, face potential discipline over Bonhomme Richard fire.

 

Know how to tell when you've got too many senior executives?  When you can find five of them who are responsible for a single fire.

 

On the other hand...a lot of people deserve to lose their jobs over this.  And a few who do, probably won't.

Imagine being so unbelievably stupid that you think the best way to have easy access to photos and vital information about your child is to give it to the FBI.

If you're going to do something that unbelievably stupid, at least have a sense of humor about it and have it sponsored by Comet Ping Pong.

And unsurprising.

 

And Twitter will probably now block him.

He has no right to do that based on the fact that he waved due diligence.

Support for that statement please.

At the beginning of the deal I had read that he had waived his due diligence.  Kind of like making an offer on the house but waving the right for an inspection , if you find problems with the foundational you’re shit out of luck.

I don’t see anything in this filing that allows him to back out with regards to bots and there seems to be a penalty of 1 billion if he does.  I’m sure wsj will comment tomorrow.

That would be true if he waived them, but as you said, he waved them.  Maybe he was saying bye bye.

fraud and misrepresentations by Twitter would seem  to negate any such waiver

if he had waived due diligence, why has his team been doing due diligence of the bot accounts?

if he waived due diligence, they would have went straight to closing

I’ve done a fair amount of M&A (admittedly no where near the $43B level), but I’ve never heard of ‘waiving diligence’.  If that had happened, why didn’t they close the deal within two weeks?  There’s nothing much else to do  aside from fairly routine legal docs.

Deals worth billions of dollars take time to close even in the best of circumstances.
