They Kept the NOLs After Wiping Shareholders in 2009 — Now BBBYQ’s Tax Losses Just Surfaced and the Same Network Is on the Clock (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wish I could say the preservation of these net operating losses definitively means BBBYQ shareholders are getting paid. It is highly suggestive. Alone, it is not enough. That is the starting point. Everything else flows from it. When you search Chapter 11 cases where equity was wiped out but the NOLs were still preserved, the clearest modern examples are General Motors and Chrysler in 2009. What makes those cases suspicious is the political timing. Barack Obama had just become president. His b
The Butterfly Clock: Why GameStop’s $1.4 Billion Note Exchange Is Timed to the Exact Day a Bankrupt Shell Becomes Usable Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 3, 2026, GameStop announced that certain holders of its zero-coupon convertible senior notes had agreed to exchange approximately $1.4 billion in principal for newly issued Class A common shares. The company framed the transaction as straightforward balance-sheet management. The market largely treated it the same way. A closer reading of the filing reveals a hard stop.

The Amazon Challenger: Bypassing the Board to Unify GameStop and eBay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. Introduction: The Mirage of Board Authority In the high-stakes theater of corporate takeovers, the boardroom is frequently mistaken for a fortress. In reality, it is often a lame-duck entity presiding over a cap table that has already defected. For the senior activist, a board’s rejection is not a terminal event; it is merely the opening bell for a hostile offensive that bypasses management to negotiate directly with the company’s true owners. This is the precise dynamic unfolding between Gam
The $1.4 Billion GameStop Anomaly: Wall Street's Shadow Liquidity Exposed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the opaque world of high finance, true desperation rarely happens in plain sight. It happens in the shadows, veiled by complex financial instruments and private backdoor deals. This past week, a massive $1.4 billion transaction involving GameStop ($GME) pierced through that veil, offering a rare glimpse into the systemic pressure currently squeezing institutional short sellers. On the surface, it looked like standard corporate finance. But a deeper dive into the mechanics of this massive debt
The Settlement Wall: How a GME HoldCo Restructuring Forces the Hand of Synthetic Equity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, the overarching narrative surrounding GameStop ($GME) has been a battle of attrition. On one side: Ryan Cohen, the holding company framework, and a base of diamond-handed, long-term investors. On the other: market makers, swap desks, and institutions sitting on a mountain of naked short positions and phantom paper. The strategy for those holding synthetic exposure has historically relied on market maker exemptions, strategic FTDs (Fails-to-Deliver), and shadow swaps. But the game is f
