  For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to create a TCG When I was a kid, we used to take the Pokemon figures you could get from ebay like 150 fake pokemon 1” toys for $25 I used to make them have levels and states and make gyms and an elite four In my 20s I made a game very similar to how one piece turned out but I didn’t know much about game balance and I even got the first full set printed and we did a little “pre release” event. But printing is expensive and artwork etc; so I gave up The last 2 years I’ve been working on a TCG working on mechanics and how to do it, proof of this is @AQuarterRican actually printed over 600 cards, but very much still in the testing phase and it’s hard to find the time. But @SteeloAndKri of all people made me think of an idea I just never thought of. A Cats TCG? What if I took my original idea that I’ve been working on but build lore and cards around our brand? Now this isn’t “THE NEXT MAGIC KILLER” this is just a fun idea, and not TOO expensive, I can have packs made from Alibaba, korrie and I can pack them and sell them for like $1.99 a pack. I’m going to put my thoughts down below!

  GM y'all! Here's the new project. I work on an SAR team and I have ATAK integrated with mesh on my phone but it's a pain to have to pull it out and look at it all the time while I'm working. So, new plan: Im going to find a cheap old GPS only Samsung Galaxy watch4 on eBay and use it to mirror my phones offline Google maps. I picked that watch because I need a smart watch that uses Wear OS because that will allow me to access and run actual Google maps natively within an app already designed to use them. Once I'm done I'll be able to have my watch running my location on gps and I just have to glance at my wrist. A lot less annoying than having to pull my phone out of a pouch or drop it down to look at it. Not a major problem by any means but fixing a small annoyance is still worth it.

  @WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser The problem with ebay is many people do not point out flaws anymore, I do. Like someone above mentioned, I put in description anything I see. Gives the buyer no angle to return after the fact, and list as Exc. And I only put NM-Mint if I see no flaws at all when I review it.

  @heistypokerdlr @CardPurchaser If you're in the US, once it gets to the facility where they ship it overseas (seems to be one in CA and one in IL) the transaction is complete on your end. I'm not sure if they might try to scam you for the money back after it gets to that point, but then it'd be you vs eBay. English Pokemon is big in SE Asia so there are a lot of people buying from that area of the world. I haven't had any issues personally.

  @BackJogle @Baron_Revilgaz 1) The dilution doesn’t matter to me. Sure, my shares are worth less in the short-term, but I immediately have ownership of more earnings per share because the Ebay deal is earnings accretive. Additionally, I’m not worried about Cohen’s ability to return shareholder capital because I saw him do it with Chewy. 2) The stagnation is transient. The entire gaming industry has been stagnating compared to the rapid growth of the 2010s. This is not an indicator of the long term economic potential, in my view. I play video games and have been studying the market for a long time. I am bullish on video games and the products that derive from them. 3) There are no governance issues that concern me. Cohen has been doing exactly what he said he was going to do and the investment thesis has not changed much since 2020. The only thing different is we have more evidence to say that he can further achieve his goals. The pay package is essentially a performance based stock option. It’s modeled after the way Elon is compensated. I am for this and would run my own company this way. This type of structure incentivizes good, accountable stewardship.

  Pierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

  Before I sell the camera I have to download all the photos off the SD cards. Apparently I used it for more than eBay. But I can't do it. I don't know which one of my disorders is causing it but I can't figure out how to transfer them or even where to transfer them to. That scares me. I used to easily be able to do that.

  A four-year-old Android TV box botnet called Popa — a plugin layer inside the larger Vo1d/Badbox 2.0 ecosystem — has been traced with high confidence to NetNut, a residential proxy subsidiary of Alarum Technologies Ltd. Alarum trades on NASDAQ as ALAR. It closed today at $9.205, up 1.27%. The market hasn't read Krebs yet. Three firms published simultaneously today: Qurium, Synthient, and Spur. Coordinated disclosure, not a single-researcher allegation — specifically structured so that legal pressure on any one outlet can't kill the story. That's a tell about what the researchers expected to happen next. The linchpin of the attribution isn't a leaked document. It's a LinkedIn profile. Ninjatech[.]io — one of the C2 domains that survived the Badbox 2.0 disruption in July 2025 and was re-registered within days to keep Popa running — traces directly to Moishi Kramer, whose LinkedIn identifies him as VP of R&D at NetNut, where he credits himself for building the company from the ground up. He says Ninjatech was sold five years ago and he has no visibility into current infrastructure. Synthient's SDK reverse-engineering disagrees: outbound traffic from Popa devices flows directly to NetNut client infrastructure. The consent fiction is the most important technical detail. NetNut's defense is that Popa asks users for consent before enrolling their device as a proxy node. Synthient analyzed over 20 active Popa publishers. None of them were observed asking for user consent. Not one. The consent mechanism exists in recent SDK builds as a legal fig leaf. It doesn't function in the wild. Spur published first, on June 8, and established the KYC collapse. Despite Alarum's claim that NetNut performs rigorous customer verification, a burner email and $5 in crypto buys full proxy access through downstream resellers — no corporate verification, no meaningful due diligence. The "verified corporations only" claim is, per Spur, marketing copy, not access control. The botnet survived a major takedown and rebuilt in days. Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro jointly disrupted Badbox 2.0 in July 2025, seizing most of the original Popa C2 domains. Within days, several dozen new domains were registered as replacements. The VP of R&D's old domain being among them is not a coincidence. Scale: 1.4M+ compromised Android TV box IPs. Active for roughly four years. Primary uses: ad fraud, account takeovers, mass data scraping. MITRE T1496 (resource hijacking), T1090 (proxy), T1584.005 (botnet via pre-compromised supply chain), T1195 (supply chain compromise). The devices are sold on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress under thousands of model names, marketed as cheap streaming boxes. The malware is pre-installed at the factory or bundled into pirated streaming apps. The user never sees a consent dialog. The user never knows. This is not really a botnet story. It's a business model story. The gray-zone residential proxy industry — companies that monetize bandwidth from ostensibly consenting users to sell anonymous residential IP traffic to paying clients — has been a known eCrime enabler for years. What's new is the scale of the evidence, the quality of the attribution, and the fact that the alleged operator is publicly traded on a US exchange. If Synthient's SDK analysis holds, Alarum Technologies is running a NASDAQ-listed business whose core product relies on a network that nobody actually consented to join. That's not a gray zone. That's a SEC disclosure problem, a potential FTC enforcement action, and depending on the customer mix, possibly a CFAA exposure. We are nothing if not consistent. The account takeover angle is where this touches your stack directly. Popa's 1.4M residential IPs are used to bypass fraud detection systems that rely on IP reputation — credential stuffing, account takeover campaigns, and ad fraud all route through this pool because residential IPs don't trip the blocklists that datacenter IPs do. If your security stack uses IP reputation as a fraud signal, residential proxy networks like Popa are specifically designed to blind it. Layer behavioral signals — velocity, session patterns, device fingerprints — because the IP layer is compromised as a reliable signal at this volume. The supply chain vector is the one worth flagging for enterprise teams. These boxes sit plugged into home-office and occasionally corporate networks, behind the firewall, with a persistent encrypted tunnel open to C2 infrastructure that reconstitutes in days after a major joint takedown. The Badbox 2.0 / Vo1d device list published by Google and HUMAN Security in July 2025 is the reference. Check against it. NetNut is a commonly used proxy provider in ad-tech and market research. If any vendor in your supply chain routes traffic through NetNut for data enrichment or competitive intelligence, you may have indirect exposure to this network. ALAR is up 1.27% at $9.205 on 124K shares as of 17:43 ET. The Krebs piece dropped at 17:37. Watch the open tomorrow.

  GameStop is about to make the Final Bid for $EBAY On May 3rd, 2026, $GME made a bid for $eBay: "proposed offer is $125.00 per share, comprising 50% cash and 50% GameStop common stock, with full shareholder election rights as to consideration type and pro-rata allocation." Since making that bid, he has gone on a full media pressure campaign, highlighting the misalignment and inadequacies of the management and board of $eBay. The bid was promptly rejected in the face of a stunning 2.5 billion share auth proposal at the July 7th meeting, seemingly to get the $eBay deal done, though the two have not been explicitly linked. Last we heard from @ryancohen was that he is taking the deal directly to shareholders. So what does that mean? —————— WHY EBAY? Let's first look at the target: $eBay. $eBay has around ~90% institutional ownership. Now, in the face of an activist takeover and a hostile bid, what does that mean exactly? First, it means the shareholders of eBay are heavily organized and concentrated. The bidder does not have to convince a million people separately. He just has to convince a few holders of the stock. Second, institutions have a hard mandate. They are fiduciaries of capital, not shareholders convinced for a multitude of reasons. There is only one reason they care about: does it make sense financially? A fiduciary, by law, has to evaluate the offer against standalone value. If the premium is real and the financing is committed, they tender. Not because they want to. Because they have to. For a potential acquisition target, that is not a defense. That is a STRONG vulnerability. And for a hostile bidder, that is everything. —————— MOVE 1: THE REJECTION You can't launch a hostile tender without first making a friendly offer the board refuses. The rejection is the legal prerequisite. It establishes that the board won't negotiate, which justifies going around them. But it matters HOW they reject. If they say "$125 is too low": you're negotiating price before you've started. If they say "not credible": they've rejected the financing, NOT the number. And look at what eBay actually said: "neither credible nor attractive." They left $125 completely unchallenged. Cohen didn't just get rejected. He got rejected perfectly. Price locked. Board on record fighting the wrong battle. Hostile lane open. The dismissible bid was designed, not fumbled. He could have shown up May 3 with committed financing. The board would have had to engage. Price negotiation starts at $125 but eventually he pays more, and it's open to negotiation. Instead, he showed up with a highly confident letter the board COULD dismiss and they dismissed it on financing, not price. Now, when the financing firms up, their only stated objection disappears, and they've already conceded $125 by never contesting it. Meanwhile, he amassed 2,480,467 shares, funded with cash. The 39M-share conversion untouched. Move 1 is complete. —————— COHEN EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU MOVE 2 IS COMING The public press run Ryan Cohen did was very interesting for a multitude of reasons. First, he had to keep his cool under pressure. The viral CNBC clips show just how difficult that is. Second, the interviews themselves are hard to curate to ensure no critical information leaks out. And in that, he explcitly states his next move. Anthony Pompliano Interview: "It's going to come down to the owners of the business and who they believe are the best fiduciaries of their capital." The owners decide. Not the board. That's the tender described in one sentence. "If it was all stock, GameStop shareholders would own 20% of the business. eBay would own 80% of the earnings." He described the all-stock version. Framed it as the bad outcome for his own shareholders. Then went silent on the alternative. Barron's Interview: "The board and the management team cannot run and hide forever." A board hides behind a rejection letter. You can't hide from a tender: it goes directly to your shareholders. "Ultimately this will be resolved by shareholders." He says it twice. Not the board. Shareholders. "I'm not receiving risk-free compensation and selling stock without putting money on the line." That's the pitch to eBay's institutions, pre-loaded into the public record. When the tender arrives: your management takes risk-free comp and sells stock. I take zero salary and get paid only if the combined company hits hurdles. Who should run your asset? "Private equity is really good at raising money and charging management fees. I'm an operator." He's killing the white-knight defense before the board even tries it. When they look for an alternative buyer, PE is the obvious candidate, but Cohen has already framed them as fee-extractors. That defense is pre-neutralized. Every answer points at the same mechanism: a tender offer, direct to shareholders, where the owners decide. SO WHERE IS IT? —————— THE AGM WAS THE LAST PIECE OF INTEL The highly watched $ebay AGM came and went, and many GameStop shareholders were dissappointed. Proposal 4 on the slate specifically was the one to watch: a proposal to lower the special-meeting threshold to 10%. Ultimately, all motions passed in favour of ebay's board and the proposal was rejected. However, let's take a look at the context. This is not the first time this proposal has been brought forward, and every time it has failed. What was the difference this time? This time, the board hired Innisfree, a professional adversarial proxy defense entity. They ran two weeks of direct outreach.  On the other side, @ryancohen amassed close to a 10% position, not going above, but buying direct shares as well.  So what were the results? 2026: 42.8% in favour.  Compare that to 2025: 49% in favour.  So what does that mean in the context of the situation? For a company that is held 90% by institutions, 43% voted IN FAVOUR OF A HOSTILE BIDDER BEING ABLE TO CALL A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING. Nearly HALF the register defied the board's recommendation DURING AN ACTIVE HOSTILE BID, AFTER the board spent weeks fighting it with a professional proxy solicitor. The institutions who did vote with the board on Proposal 4 didn't do it because they love eBay management. They did it because an uncommitted activist at 9% isn't a strong enough reason to hand him structural tools. Change "uncommitted activist" to "fully funded premium tender" and fiduciary duty makes the decision for them. 42.7% defied the board on a hypothetical. The question is: What happens when the offer is real and sitting in their account? The AGM was never the battlefront for $GME, just the last piece of data he needed before Move 2. Now he has it. —————— THE TENDER A tender doesn't need the board's permission. Doesn't need a merger vote. Doesn't need a special meeting. Doesn't need Proposal 4. It goes directly to the owners. Every shareholder individually decides. The board can recommend against it, but they can't stop it from reaching their shareholders. A fund manager holding eBay at ~$100 receives a funded offer at $125. The math: take certain cash at a 25–46% premium, or hold under a board whose only defense just collapsed. "I believed in eBay management" is a career-ending sentence when the alternative was guaranteed money. The board's one tool is a poison pill. A pill blocks the tender from closing, but not from staying open. Not from the arbs flooding the register. Not from the story running. And a pill turns it into a proxy war. eBay is declassified. Majority-vote. Every director stands annually. "Replace the directors blocking your $125" is a short fight when arbs hold the register and the board's own stated objection no longer exists. Cohen said it: "cannot run and hide forever." A pill buys time but it doesn't win. —————— THE WINDOW Since the last 425, Cohen has gone quiet. The longest gap of the campaign: straight through eBay's AGM and out the other side. Let's look at the calendar a bit and try to surmise what he is planning. July 7: GameStop's annual meeting. Two proposals matter, and they are not the same vote. The authorized-share increase of 2.5 billion is close to a formality. The June 8 proxy supplement spelled it out: simple majority of votes cast, and NYSE deems it routine, so brokers vote uninstructed shares *for* it. That one passes. Cohen knows it passes and that's what the proxy supplement was to clarify. The CEO performance award is the hard one. It was pitched to be decided by unaffiliated holders which is a higher bar than a plain majority.  But here's what the supplement also said: the share authorization is *not* a condition of the pay award. The two are decoupled. And the authorization was never explicitly tied to the eBay deal to begin with. So read it straight. Cohen does not need the July 7 vote to move on eBay. He already has the shares and the structure. What he needs is the other half: committed financing locked *before* he reveals a direct offer to a base that's ~90% institutional. Institutions don't tender on a "highly confident" letter. They tender on certain cash. And then there's Teddy. The site Cohen built for his father has been password-gated since June 1. During this entire saga, this has never ocurred. This Sunday is Father's Day. What I'm watching for: Teddy goes live on Father's Day, Sunday June 21 and the formal offer hits the tape the next morning, Monday June 22. —————— TL;DR: This was always two moves. Move 1: present a dismissible bid. Let the board reject it on financing. Lock the price. Accumulate cheap. Map the register. Move 2: fix the financing. Take the same $125 directly to the owners of a 90% institutional company, where fiduciary duty makes tendering a forced move. Move 1 is done. The board rejected on financing, not price. The toehold is built. The AGM data is in hand. "The board cannot run and hide forever."

  🚨 Breaking News : eBay Proposal 4 May Have Passed eBay's annual shareholder meeting is over, and reports are circulating that Proposal 4 received enough votes to pass. If confirmed, shareholders would only need to own 10% of eBay to call a special shareholder meeting, down from the current 20% requirement. Why does that matter? GameStop reportedly owns nearly 10% of eBay. That could give Ryan Cohen and GameStop a way to bring their acquisition ideas directly to eBay shareholders through a special meeting. ⏰ Official voting results have not been released yet. eBay has said the results could be announced as soon as tomorrow. $GME $EBAY
