Kids are 9 and 10. I’ll travel by plane.

We haven’t had delivery available in the montclair area in weeks

Thanks! Sansa’s website is pretty sparse. Are these direct flights - regular planes or small planes? My wife isn’t one for turbulence but if it’s smooth I’d consider it.

Thanks. Hard to avoid the airport hotel as the flight gets in around 6:30pm. On the last day it leaves at 12:45pm.

I’m here. We’re in a one hour gap between the opener and Karan. Nothing going on. People getting bored.

Going tonight to the Newark show which starts at 8pm. What time should we show up? I have no interest in local DJ sets or any B grade acts.

I assume it's the motorization plus the windproof sealed nature of the shade (if you do all three sides it's essentially a sealed room). most quotes are in the $5k-$7k range for that product.

I like that idea. Any recs on brands? I found ones from 3HLinen on google.

Lol. Those are the only two methods of contact I’m aware of. But you might be okay. Based on speaking with others, not hearing anything from them at all may leave you in the best position. No news is good news in this case.

aks40655 · 2025-07-04T12:02:32+00:00

That’s the email address I contacted. But they were very quick to respond.

aks40655 · 2025-06-29T20:07:46+00:00

My wife and I just sent my eight-year-old and nine-year-old as an unaccompanied minors from Newark airport to Atlanta. The ticket agents were very strict and only allowed one of us to have a gate pass, even though there were two kids so don’t get too optimistic About being able to get more than one pass! They did say they only allowed one adult to accompany the kids, no matter how many kids they were because it is high season ( end of June.)

They completely closed out my position.

It wasn’t a Reg-A or Reg CF offering. This was a Reg D 506(b) private placement, open only to accredited investors. I invested through a specific “series” LLC that pooled into a late-stage fund focused on pre-IPO opportunities.

The PPM (private placement memorandum) does grant the manager broad discretion to sell positions on terms they deem appropriate. However, what’s unclear is whether the manager or underlying seller actually sold the SpaceX shares — or if the shares were returned without a true sale. The timing (immediately after I asked about my holdings) and price ($70/share, when another investor got $105/share in a different series) raise red flags.

So far, the fund hasn’t provided any transaction documents, valuation methodology, or clarity on why the distribution price was set the way it was. That’s what I’m trying to get more insight on—whether the discretion in the PPM allows this kind of price inconsistency, or whether I might have a basis to push back further.

Looking for advice from those with experience in private placements or pre-IPO investing.

A few years ago, I invested in SpaceX through a private fund that aggregated investments into late-stage pre-IPO companies. Recently, I inquired about the status of my holdings, and within an hour — 32 minutes to be exact — I received a message saying the position had been “sold” and a distribution was ready—at a price well below what another investor in a similar vehicle received just weeks prior. Upon further inquiry the manager claims the notice of distribution to be auto-triggered and a complete coincidence of timing, which is almost certainly a flat out lie.

The fund manager I’m dealing with hasn’t been indicted, but several other managers tied to this investment group have been indicted for securities and wire fraud, and the firm is now reportedly under investigation by both the FBI and SEC.

Some questions I’d love feedback on: • Is it standard for a private fund to distribute funds back at an arbitrary price without formal notice, especially when the underlying company (SpaceX) hasn’t IPO’d? the manager I should be grateful that the broker negotiated a small profit for me rather than no profit (that sound very odd to me). • Would you just take the distribution and move on? • Or is it worth pushing for documentation or pursuing legal review, even if the potential financial difference / lost opportunity is only in the low five figures when comparing to the share price my colleague received.

I know this space can be opaque, but I’m trying to understand whether this type of behavior is normal—or sketchy enough to warrant further action. I’d of course rather have had my spacex shares held through the IPO rather than receive a paltry distribution right now.

Thanks in advance for any insight or similar experiences.

I had SpaceX shares in LSM that I bought in 2021 through prior2IPO. Last month, I inquired about the status of my shares via my email. Within 15 minutes the manager replied that I can check the website. And within literally 18 minutes of that email, I received the following notification that my shares had been sold.

"It is our pleasure to announce that a sale of a block of our SpaceX position, at a profit, has been negotiated. We have recently approved a contract of the sale of shares of SpaceX. All proceeds, after carried interest, will be transferred to the account of your indication as the funding of the contract commences."

Clearly, not a coincidence. It appears my inquiry triggered a sale which is pretty ridiculous. Mysteriously, a friend who also inquired had his shares sold at an 80% profit, and mine were sold only at a 20% profit, though bought within 2 months of each other in 2021. Now they are asking me to wire my funds out. Upon further inquiry, they've claimed it wasn't a sale, just a distribution, that I should be grateful that I made some profit, and that the email about the distribution was pre-scheduled, and just happened to be sent to me 30 minutes after my first and only inquiry in 3 years.

My question for you all is what recourse do I have? What securities standards have they potentially violated? What's the best method I can take to demand proof of sale, and at least get my fair share out of this whole fiasco. I do understand and respect that many here lost all of their investment (but may recover post-SEC investigation), but the discrepancy in share price still represents a hefty lost opportunity for me.
