- Where did DFV come up with this much money? Has he been quietly KILLING IT earning tens of millions with other investments the past 3 years? How would an average guy earn that much cash in such a relatively short period of time?
-- Observation: The price of his calls & cash on hand is somewhat similar to GME's drop in cash/equivalents. -- Speculation: Is DFV being funded by Gamestop?
- DFV continues to use the "power" icon in his memes, and everyone seems to assume it means Gamestop. The company, however, doesn't use the power icon for any current marketing or registered trademarks - you can't actually, it's an IEC recognized symbol based on binary (1, 0). IIRC it used to be loosely affiliated with the PowerUp rewards program marketing, but PowerUp rewards has been defunct for years, with the company using the unified "GS" moniker for brevity. The Gamestop website's favicon is currently the power icon, however this is the default for any Salesforce Demandware e-commerce site, and as a result many other sites share the same favicon. Question: Can anyone find a link to any Gamestop branding or marketing using the power symbol, past or present?
- Speculation: Could DFV be slyly referring to something else entirely?
- The power symbol appears in other posts, never in the "12 o'clock" orientation... Signs, Always Sunny, etc. are all askew, even when they could've been aligned properly. With the exception of...
- In his post from May 15 @ 8:45am Eastern with a scene from Ozark (season 3), the picture above the mantle is the power sign upside down, Q-like. She later defiantly turns it right side-up, returning it to the typical form of line/1 on top.
- From this scene she illegally enters her family's old home, has moments of sentimentality, then becomes mischievous - turning the current family's portrait upside down & adding food coloring to their milk.
- Why? Referring to introducing chaos for other companies in various stages of bankruptcy (...Q ticker symbols)?*
I'm just waiting for the story to unfold, but also very entertained and enjoy attempting to dissect these potential puzzles.
These are direct quotes from DFV in his livestream. He never says where his mountain of money came from - only that it was his.
I'm not sure about the "legality" of lying about these things on a Youtube livestream while trolling with buffoonery, but it's a possibility. I personally think he was being truthful, albeit very selective with his words.
I absolutely doubt he was able to scrape together 200+ million (after taxes!?) by himself. We were all shocked he had the financial means to double down in February 2021, and I assumed he tapped a massive line of credit when he quadrupled his position just a few months later. Hundreds of millions, however, is waaayy beyond a 3rd mortgage. Note he did NOT say how he came up with his mountain of money, only that it was "his".
Possibilities:
