The pot farm next door: Black market weed operations inundate California suburb, cops say

Antioch, California
CNN

Just after dawn on a recent spring morning, police dressed in tactical gear and armed with a search warrant pounded on the front door of an upscale home in a quiet suburban neighborhood an hour outside San Francisco.

When no one answered, the officers with California’s Department of Cannabis Control, which polices the legal sale of marijuana in the state, took a battering ram to the steel-reinforced door. When the door didn’t budge, they used a power saw to cut their way through a fortified back entrance and into the spacious five-bedroom property.

Inside, investigators found precisely what they were looking for: evidence of yet another black-market marijuana operation hidden in plain sight amid the cookie-cutter homes of suburbia.

They removed 80 pounds of weed from the pricey two-story home in Antioch, California. With curious neighbors looking on, they?repeated the spectacle twice more on the same block that morning in late April. The raids filled a dump truck with about $1 million worth of illicit weed cultivated by unlicensed growers.?Although cars were parked in the driveways, no people were found in any of the homes and no arrests were made.

Lots of raids, few arrests: Illegal pot farms persist in this California suburb
Among California’s marijuana cops at Cannabis Control, Antioch has developed a reputation as a hub for high-yield, covert indoor grow operations. They have raided at least 60 alleged grow houses in the city over the past two years and suspect?well over 100 more remain in operation.

But that’s not all. Investigators say the illegal pot production in Antioch provides a glimpse of a hidden world – one that mirrors a trend playing out not only in?California, but in states such as Oklahoma, Oregon, New Mexico and Maine: groups of people with apparent ties to foreign countries – most notably China – producing weed in colossal volumes.

A CNN investigation has found that, in this unassuming city of 115,000, the minimal consequences and hefty rewards for producing illicit marijuana in huge volumes has led to a whack-a-mole pattern of enforcement and a brazenness on the part of participants – all while neighbors look on in dismay.

The unlicensed operations, which can cause house fires and mold, often leave homes in a severely damaged state. Properties deemed uninhabitable by the city after raids are sometimes quickly rehabbed and sold for much more than the prior sale. Throughout, operatives in the schemes are seldom held accountable.

The dynamic in Antioch is a microcosm of greater California, where lax laws on black-market weed are doing little to change the state’s status as a gargantuan producer of it.

The Golden State, whose cannabis enjoys a global reputation similar to that of Napa Valley wines, produces about 40% of the nation’s weed – the vast majority of it by unlicensed growers, according to Beau Whitney, an economist who specializes in the cannabis industry. The runner-up state – Oregon – produces less than a fifth of California’s output, he said.

This means California is fueling a massive underground economy, as three-quarters of the US marijuana market is illegal, Whitney said.

Law enforcement officials – including former DEA leaders and FBI director Christopher Wray –?attribute much of the activity?nationwide?to Chinese organized crime.

In Antioch, the operations bear the hallmarks of “the Chinese criminal syndicate,” said Bill Jones, chief of law enforcement at the California Department of Cannabis Control. He added that criminal networks made up of Chinese nationals have become the dominant presence in the state’s illegal cannabis trade over the past five years, eclipsing Mexican cartels.

Law enforcement officials said they’ve seen evidence that the activity in Antioch amounts to organized crime, citing the sophistication of the operations and apparent coordination of some of the people involved. But they declined to elaborate, citing ongoing investigations.

A review of search warrant affidavits, online property records and interviews with neighbors of some of the raided homes showed that the vast majority were owned or occupied by people with Chinese names, in a city where Asians make up about 15% of the population.

The home that Cannabis Control agents had to power-saw their way into belongs to Samson Liu, a police officer in nearby Oakland, California, CNN found. Cannabis Control declined to say whether Liu lived in the home or had tenants, citing an ongoing investigation.

Liu’s home not only contained what police said was 80 pounds of illegal marijuana trimmings stashed away in piles of garbage bags, officials said it was also extensively modified for the sole purpose of cultivation: The doors were fortified; the windows were boarded up. A heavy-duty generator sat in the laundry room to maximize power. Silver industrial air ducts snaked in and out of rooms for ventilation.

Almost every US state – even the most liberal – and the federal government considers the cultivation and/or sale of unlicensed marijuana a serious crime that carries felony-level fines and prison time, according to a CNN analysis of data from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

But in California, the feds in recent years have largely taken a hands-off approach to marijuana, officials say. And under state law, any amount of illegal weed – save a few exceptions, such as the culprit being a registered sex offender or selling it to a child – is a misdemeanor offense.

As for the house owned by Liu, Cannabis Control agents have referred the matter to the internal affairs division of the Oakland Police Department, but have made no arrests in connection with the contraband.

CNN’s efforts to reach Liu by phone, email and a visit to his home were unsuccessful. The Oakland Police Department told CNN it is cooperating with outside law-enforcement agencies and investigating the case as a personnel matter; Liu was placed on administrative leave the day of the raid in late April.

Despite the large loads of marijuana and cash?taken?during roughly 60 raids in Antioch?since 2022, only two people associated with the busts in that city have been arrested and charged; both were given misdemeanors, according to records provided by Cannabis Control.


Although the state routinely seizes cash from the raided homes, it does not seize the homes themselves. Of the 60 raided homes in Antioch, about half were fixed up and sold by the original owner – often for a significantly higher amount than the prior sale – after the busts, CNN found.

CNN identified one real estate agent who has had a hand in selling four residential homes raided by authorities in Antioch. A review of online property records shows that she herself owns one of those homes, from which $937,000 worth of illicit cannabis was seized during a raid in December.

This summer, the agent listed another Antioch home for sale, less than three months after it was raided and deemed uninhabitable by the city due to issues related to its past use as an illegal grow house.

In a brief interview with CNN, the agent brushed aside questions about her involvement with properties associated with marijuana cultivation.

“We pay the fine,” the real estate agent said, without elaborating. “There is no problem.”

The real estate agent’s attorney, Darius Chan, said his client is not involved in any “illegal operation” involving marijuana.

Chan acknowledged that his client owns a home that was used for illegal marijuana cultivation, but said she leased the house to a tenant who used it as a grow house. As for her role in real estate transactions involving suspected illicit marijuana operations, Chan said his client learned only afterwards that the properties had been converted to grow houses. He added that such conversions were a “persistent issue” in the area.

“It is not fair to tie a few houses to her or to tie her to the illegal cannabis operation,” the lawyer said. “She’s a victim of circumstance.”

‘People are smoking pesticides’
California,?despite its legalization of recreational marijuana in 2016, remains?a haven for?unlicensed?black-market entrepreneurs, officials say.

Illegal operators ignore the rules and fees of California’s highly regulated system under which marijuana can be legally produced and sold. They also skirt taxes and can thus undercut the prices of the legal market, which in California is struggling – in part because of the surplus flowing from the black market.

All the while, the rogue entrepreneurs enjoy the protection of doing business?in a state where a voter-approved legalization law has a clause that effectively eliminates felony prosecutions when it comes to marijuana. In almost every other state – including Washington and Colorado, the first two to legalize recreational marijuana – high-volume producers and/or distributors of illegal weed face felony charges, according to CNN’s review of state laws.

In California, “You can have seven plants or 70,000 plants and it still is that same misdemeanor violation,”?said?Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue, whose sprawling northern California district is notorious for outdoor illegal marijuana cultivation. “It’s actually just a joke.”

Shannon Dicus, the sheriff of San Bernardino County in Southern California, said the state’s weak law creates an environment in which black-market growers have lots to gain and little to lose.

“It’s risk versus reward,” Dicus said. “Very small risk, very high reward.”

Unlicensed operators ship their in-demand California product to locations across the United States, including the East Coast, where it’s harder to grow outdoors in colder seasons.

Meanwhile, the illicit farming of marijuana?is associated?with?a wide array of problems. It can be a magnet for violent crime, such as armed robbery.

The grow houses are typically left in degraded condition due to the excessive amounts of power and water needed to produce the crop, which often requires makeshift electrical wiring and leaves walls covered in mold. Workers who tend to the plants are sometimes exploited or even trafficked, Cannabis Control officials said.

One little-recognized problem, police say, is that untested weed from illegal growers?sometimes finds its way?into legal dispensaries where customers don’t realize what they’re buying.

“People are smoking pesticides,” said Kevin?McInerney, a commander with the Department of Cannabis Control.

Two recent cases filed in federal court in California offer a rare glimpse into how the more organized rings of grow houses can operate.

In one, federal authorities in 2018 alleged that about 100 homes in Greater Sacramento had been purchased by Chinese nationals and converted to weed-cultivation centers.

The investigation led to money-laundering and marijuana-manufacturing charges against four co-conspirators, including a real estate broker whose office was located in a strip mall.

The down payments for the homes were financed by wire transfers from China.

In the other federal case, a real estate agent used millions of dollars from Chinese investors to purchase nine homes in San Bernardino County that were converted into illegal marijuana cultivation sites.

The agent faced life in prison, but after pleading guilty in 2020 to conspiracy to possess, manufacture and distribute at least 1,000 marijuana plants, he ultimately was sentenced to six months.

In a letter to the judge, the real estate agent said he was lured into the scheme based on a promise to share in the profits and an assurance that marijuana cultivation was “only a misdemeanor.”

Some politicians and law enforcement officials in the US have gone so far as to theorize that the Chinese government may have a hand in the illicit cannabis grow house operations?– or at a minimum are monitoring them. For instance, two members of Maine’s Congressional delegation – an Independent and a moderate Democrat – issued a joint press release in February expressing concern about “the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) affiliated marijuana cultivation operations” in their state and across the nation.

But Wray, the FBI director, said at a public hearing earlier this year that while his agency is starting to see “more ties between a lot of these growing operations and Chinese organized crime,” it hasn’t yet found any direct links between the marijuana farms and the Chinese government.

‘You have to steal electricity’
CNN?interviewed four?Mandarin-speaking Chinese nationals?who said they worked in the illegal marijuana trade.

One of the men, who asked that he not be named due to his immigration status and fear for his safety, said he crossed the Mexican border about a year ago and found work in the underground cannabis market through a Los Angeles-area employment agency geared toward recent Chinese immigrants.

The man, who spoke with a Mandarin-speaking CNN producer in a series of telephone interviews, said he first spent seven months working for a friend who runs several unlicensed outdoor greenhouses near Fresno, California.

The man said he then moved to the San Diego area, where he helped to produce?between 40 and 50 pounds of marijuana a month from inside a home.

“You have to steal electricity,” he told CNN. “If you don’t steal electricity, the monthly electricity bill will be over $10,000.”

He said the drug sells for $1,000 a pound and is picked up by Chinese buyers who show up at the door. He doesn’t know where it goes from there.

Details of the man’s account could not be independently verified, but he did provide photos of large bags of marijuana he said were produced as part of the operation.

The other three men who spoke with CNN shared similar accounts.

Vanda Felbab-Brown, an expert on transnational crime and nontraditional security threats at the Brookings Institute, said the trafficking of Chinese migrants – many of whom end up cultivating illegal marijuana – appears to be organized by “a combination of … Chinese criminal networks and Mexican criminal groups.”

It’s something she believes the US government needs to be paying closer attention to.

“We have been prioritizing China military decision-making, but Chinese organized crime and organized crime more broadly has not been a high priority in intelligence collection,” she said. “That needs to change.”

Marijuana houses sold at elevated prices
In Antioch and other nearby cities in recent years, investigators with Cannabis Control began receiving a steady flow of anonymous tips and complaints from neighbors.

As they began to investigate, one tell-tale sign of cultivation was off-the-charts usage of power.

“There was one neighbor, she got her PG&E (utility) bill and it was for $40,000,” said Jones of Cannabis Control. “And she’s like, ‘Whoa.’”

The bill, it turned out, had landed in the wrong mailbox: It belonged to a grow house across the street.

In one raid this spring, authorities found about $1 million worth of illegal weed in a spacious five-bedroom?home?on Shell Ridge Way.

City records obtained by CNN show that an inspector deemed the house uninhabitable on the day of the raid in March, citing a fire hazard and “a lot of chemicals” that he believed were ending up in the house’s drainage system. The inspector came back less than a month later and removed the designation.

By June it was back on the market, described as a “dream home” listed?for?$889,000 – nearly $200,000 more than it sold for in 2020.

McInerney of Cannabis Control said untangling what he suspects are the complex networks behind illegal grow houses will require not only more resources, but also a fundamental culture change at his own agency – one he is?pushing to achieve.

The idea, he said, is to supplement the current narcotics-investigation approach of surveilling suspicious characters and banging down doors – the “fun stuff,” as he said – with another dimension: the duller white-collar work of delving into paperwork.

“That’s where we can get the people that are making the money,” McInerney said. “But we’re swimming upstream.”

Regardless of whether organized crime is at play, the phenomenon strikes some Antioch residents as not only strange, but frustrating.

Bill Tillson, who lives on the same block where three homes were raided this spring – including that of the Oakland police officer – told CNN that he’d since seen people associated with the homes cleaning the properties, removing marijuana-growing equipment and putting one of the houses up for sale, price tag: $900,000. The whole dynamic struck him as unfair.

“It’s like, yeah, we’ll buy these houses, we’ll use them as a grow house … it’s a misdemeanor. No big deal,” Tillson said.

“Where are the higher-up people, the politicians?” he asked. “I mean, they’re letting them get away with this?”

Mold scandal in Massachusetts leads to $200,000 fine for marijuana MSO

(This story was updated at 12:45 p.m. ET Wednesday to include comments from Holistic Industries.)

Massachusetts regulators last month fined marijuana multistate operator Holistic Industries $200,000 after a mold outbreak in which the company allegedly “knowingly” sold contaminated cannabis.

According to an April 15 stipulated settlement between the company and the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) approved May 9, the agency alleged Holistic knew about a mold outbreak at its cultivation facility in the town of Monson since at least November 2020.



According to CCC documents, rather than immediately fix the problem, the company sought out permissive lab testing that allowed the tainted marijuana to pass inspection and be sold, leading to “numerous patient and consumer complaints” that Holistic cannabis “smelled and tasted like mold.”

CCC spokesperson Tara Smith confirmed the company paid the fine, but she offered no further comment.

“We had issues with mold in our Monson facility in 2020/2021 and determined the safety of our plants was not compromised,” Jamie Ware, interim head counsel at Holistic Industries, told MJBizDaily in a statement emailed Wednesday.

“To be clear, no product was ever sold or in the hands of consumers that did not pass testing from a state-approved facility.”

In public comments at the CCC meeting on May 9, before the settlement was approved, Commissioner Kimberly Roy praised the employee whistleblowers for alerting officials to the problem and pushed for the creation of a dedicated “whistleblower hotline.”

“We want to thank these employees for being brave enough to speak up,” Roy said.

“We want to make sure consumers and patients are safe, but also our workers.”

Big fine, increased scrutiny
According to the settlement, the CCC determined that Holistic violated four state regulations, including jeopardizing “the welfare of the public.”

Despite increased scrutiny in recent years about the relationship between marijuana operators and independent testing labs, the situation came to light only after employees contacted regulators in fall 2021, according to the CCC.

Employees claimed company leadership knew about the problem, but moldy product was “pushed through anyway,” according to the settlement agreement.

Speaking for Holistic, Ware said via email that “even though all products passed all testing requirements during that time, we decided to completely renovate the facility at significant expense to ensure we could provide the best quality, safest products with no future issues.”

“During that time, we also consulted with top environmental science experts and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and were assured that any issues within the facility did not pose a human health hazard.”

Gaming the system?
Critics say the situation highlights several ongoing problems, including lax oversight that allows unscrupulous operators to use labs that provide desirable results, including inflated THC potency.

Seeking lab results that allow contaminated product to enter the market creates potential for health and safety crises that affect both workers and consumers.

“I think it’s fairly serious. The ease with which the system was gamed is really concerning here,” said Jeff Rawson, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based founder of the Institute of Cannabis Science, a consumer-advocacy and watchdog group that’s been sounding the alarm over lax testing and safety standards.

“It’s fraud, and it’s also an unlawful occupation hazard.

“You are not allowed to employ people in a workplace that’s full of mold.”

Such problems aren’t limited to Holistic, according to Rawson, who has performed random testing of off-the-shelf cannabis products in Massachusetts and found about 10% of those selected failed his own testing for mold.

ADVERTISEMENT

‘Knowingly’ sought PCR testing
As part of its settlement with the state, Holistic “neither admits nor denies” any allegations, including:

Mold “was present” throughout Holistic’s 56,000-square-foot cultivation facility, including grow rooms, processing tables, “office spaces, drains, HVAC systems and structural elements.”
Holistic “knowingly” requested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing rather than plate assay testing “to ensure the maximum volume of product would reach the market.”
Holistic did not begin remediating the mold outbreak until April 2021, despite knowing about the problem the previous winter.
The company did not cease production during the mold outbreak, nor the remediation efforts.
As part of the settlement, Holistic must, for six months, submit product for testing to a third-party lab agreed to by both the state and the company.

Employee whistleblowers
Holistic’s alleged mold problem became public knowledge in 2021, thanks to employee whistleblowers who leaked word of the situation to local media as well as state regulators.

That year, an independent investigation found “significant” mold contamination “throughout the facility” in Monson, according to a report anonymously leaked to the Daily Hampshire Gazette and other media outlets.

At the time, Jamie Ware, a senior vice president at Holistic, blamed a December 2020 power outage for a “high-humidity event” and said the company found mold in June 2021 after a “pervasive smell” appeared.

Large, privately held MSO
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Holistic Industries also operates cultivation facilities in Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The company operates 15 adult-use stores and medical marijuana dispensaries under its Liberty brand in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

In news releases, Holistic describes itself as “among the largest” privately held MSOs in the country.

The company also scored a marketing coup when it secured the rights to sell cannabis using the name and likeness of Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia.

Massachusetts and safety
The alleged mold outbreak in Monson is one of several incidents to involve employee and consumer safety in the Massachusetts cannabis industry.

In January 2022, a 27-year-old cultivation worker employed by Florida-based MSO Trulieve Cannabis Corp. died after collapsing at the company’s former grow operation in Holyoke.

As part of its settlement in that matter, Trulieve paid a $14,502 fine and agreed to fund a study about the hazards of ground cannabis dust.

LETTER FROM COLORADO

Colorado’s Weed Market Is Coming Down Hard and It’s Making Other States Nervous
Businesses are shuttering or laying off workers as sales have plunged by $700 million.

Regulatory burdens, an oversaturated market and increasing competition from nearby states have all landed major blows to Colorado's cannabis market, leaving other states with newer marijuana markets scrambling to avoid the same mistakes. | Photos by Patrick Cavan Brown for POLITICO

DENVER — On Jan. 1, 2014, Iraq War veteran Sean Azzariti made headlines worldwide as the first person in the U.S. to buy legal weed.

More than 10 years later, 3D Cannabis, the dispensary in Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood where the historic purchase was made, displays a makeshift sign announcing it is “temporarily closed.” The windows and doors on the side of the building have been boarded up. Plastic bags, discarded coffee cups and other trash collect in the corners of the abandoned parking lot.


The dismal state of the historic site is a fitting symbol of the plight of Colorado’s cannabis market. What once was a success story has now left a trail of failed businesses and cash-strapped entrepreneurs in its wake. Regulatory burdens, an oversaturated market and increasing competition from nearby states have all landed major blows, leaving other states with newer marijuana markets scrambling to avoid the same mistakes.

For years, Colorado’s marijuana market minted successful local entrepreneurs who bootstrapped small businesses into national brands. The market drew aspiring cannabis professionals from across the country, whether ambitious college grads with a business idea or investors looking to get in on the green rush.

For years, Colorado’s marijuana market boomed, minting successful local entrepreneurs who bootstrapped small businesses into national brands. But what was once a success story has now left a trail of failed businesses and cash-strapped entrepreneurs in its wake.

In 2020, the market soared to $2.2 billion. But just three years later, sales had plummeted to $1.5 billion, leading to layoffs, closures and downsizing. The market downturn has spelled trouble for state finances too: Colorado took in just $282 million in cannabis tax revenues in the last fiscal year, down more than 30 percent from two years earlier.


A messy assortment of factors has led to the pioneering industry’s struggles. A supply glut caused weed prices to plummet in the wake of the pandemic. The spread of cheap, largely unregulated intoxicating hemp-derived products further heightened competitive pressures. And marijuana remains federally illegal, subjecting operators to sky-high taxes and costly regulations.

“It’s like the wind in our cannabis sails in Colorado has just been sucked all the way out,” said Wanda James, founder of Denver dispensary Simply Pure, one of the first recreational dispensaries in the state.

Wanda James stands for a portrait.
"It's like the wind in our cannabis sails in Colorado has just been sucked all the way out," said Wanda James, the founder of Denver dispensary Simply Pure, one of the first adult-use dispensaries in the state.

But more than any other factor, Colorado’s market has been sapped by the rapid spread of legalization across the country. Neighbors New Mexico and Arizona are among the 24 states with their own adult-use legal marijuana markets, wreaking havoc on the business plans of dispensaries on Colorado’s southern border. Tourists who once flooded the state for the opportunity to legally experience Rocky Mountain highs have largely disappeared as the novelty has worn off. Even Texans aren’t driving north to buy weed anymore, satisfied with the proliferation of intoxicating hemp products in their own state.


Colorado’s trailblazing cannabis market is now a cautionary tale for states with their own nascent weed programs. A top New York cannabis official recently pointed to Colorado’s dramatic marijuana market downturn to justify regulators’ hesitance to issue too many licenses at once.

“We’re a victim of our own success,” said Jordan Wellington, a partner at Denver-based cannabis policy and public affairs firm Strategies 64. “New markets drawing investment away, new markets drawing purchasing away — all of these different things combined into the soup of the challenges [facing] Colorado.”

Is it unexpected that a patient needing a lung transplant dies waiting?

How long can you wait for a lung transplant?
The average person waits around two years for a single lung transplant, and as long as three years for two lungs. People who are unable to wait that long may be considered for lung transplant from a living donor.

What organ transplant has the lowest success rate?
Lung transplant patients have the lowest 5- and 10-year survival rates, according to UNOS. “The lungs are a very difficult organ to transplant because they're exposed to the environment constantly as we breathe,” explained Dr. Steves Ring, Professor of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery.

Lung transplant waitlist mortality: height as a predictor of poor outcomes

PMID: 25406495 DOI: 10.1111/petr.12390
Abstract
The LAS was designed to minimize pretransplant mortality while maximizing post-transplant outcome. Recipients <12 are not allocated lungs based on LAS. Waitlist mortality has decreased for those >12, but not <12, suggesting this population may be disadvantaged. To identify predictors of waitlist mortality, a retrospective analysis of the UNOS database was performed since implementation of the LAS. There were 16,973 patients listed for lung transplant in the United States; 12,070 (71.1%) were transplanted, and 2498 (14.7%) patients died or were removed from the wait list. Significantly more pediatric patients died or were removed compared with adults (22.0% vs. 14.4%, p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, in addition to higher LAS at time of listing (adj. HR1.058, 1.055-1.060), shorter height (1.008, 1.006-1.010), male gender (1.210, 1.110-1.319), and requiring ECMO (1.613, 1.202-2.163) were associated with pretransplant mortality. Post-transplant survival was not affected by height. The current age cutoff may impose limitations within the current lung allocation system in the United States. Height is an independent predictor of waitlist mortality and may be a valuable factor for the development of a comprehensive lung allocation system.

It’s day traders and small hedge funds who are shorting cannabis. They seem to really like Marimed for some reason.

Board members collectively own around 16% of the shares, which isn’t much and not enough to keep the price suppressed for this long. Because there isn’t much regulation to the OTC market, day traders and hedge funds can manipulate stock prices when there’s fear in the market. However, once 280E is lifted and cannabis gets rescheduled the fear will go away and so will the shorts

Would MGM be partnering with a failing cannabis company?

“Finally, I'm thrilled to announce our mega-exclusive sponsorship with Concert Giant Livenation. Starting this month, Nature's Heritage will be the exclusive cannabis brand for the MGM Grand Music Club located next to Fenway Park in Boston. MGM Grand is Live Nation's top music club in the world. We have a comprehensive marketing plan that will include on-site brand visibility, ads on Livenation's ticketing site, and tickets for promotional purposes. It's a landmark sponsorship for Livenation, MariMed, and the cannabis industry as a whole. I could not be more excited about the opportunity to partner with our leading flower brand with such a culture forward platform.”

Down has nothing to do with the finance model. People expect it on this kind of investment.

What is entertaining from time to time is to read your opinion of what is important in this investment.

But this kind of importance is like an empty calorie. I’m very happy though that there’s an ignore button because that equates to a fat calorie.

Ir always amazes me that no bull is ever down

No matter how much they piss and moan
and in frustration call others name
they are never never underwater.
