Yeah. In 2021 their stock was worth $520.

Now it's worth eleven bucks.

What a turnaround.

Seems like a cynical ploy and not much more.

Cynical? I'm not there yet.

But an admission that the prior business model they have proffered was not profitable?

Yeah, I can go with that.

So, if they seem to be such a admitted failure in business, what might that say about their future success?

Perhaps they will get lucky this time around ...
