He is actually she, Mike. I saw the article and they said suicide was the preliminary cause. It didn't mention anything about Bitcoin having issues, beyond their normal ups and downs, so I thought it was fishy to say the least. I feel for her loved ones and family.

It's really to bad that people correlate financial success with happiness to this degree in America.

In my opinion I doubt it was suicide. She has a pretty impressive resume. I don't think she would of committed suicide over the bitcoin tanking.
She could of easily gotten another job.

The bitcoin currency was used to launder a lot of drug money. Tell a drug lord he just lost a bunch of money, you're dead. I'm sure there is more to this.

You're right, Todd. Only I'm really questioning if it was suicide. She died in Singapore. Not exactly a safe, incorruptible country. I'm not big on conspiracy theories but this just seems off is my initial impression. Maybe I watch too many movies or read too many books though.

I was thinking the same thing.

It went down 15% today, so I just bought Staples (SPLS) after hours. It pays a 4.23% dividend.

I REALLY like that they plan to trim back their storefronts and focus more heavily on online ordering. Last I checked, schools and offices still need supplies, and they have good brand recognition.

Thoughts?
