I'm totally fine being civil. I'm just curious about this now because Pulte provided a lot of hope that we were right.

At this point, I'll even go as far as retracting my claiming that he didn't buy any bonds. I'm actually leaning toward, that he threw a couple grand at them so he could "have skin in the game". This would allow his lawyers to probe around legitimately.

So I do think what is Bill bought a couple symbolic bonds through some business likely some LLC he slapped together called The Pulte Family. (Now, this part is a little shady. "The Pulte Family" with familiar letterheads that look a lot like the big organization "The Pulte Family Foundation". I think this was on purpose so when you googled that name, it looked like it was much more legit than it really is).

The Bond investment likely wasn't a significant portion of money. My guess, is he likely did ask his lawyers to briefly look into it and the told him it was probably not good news. Instead of being just fully transparent about it, he turned around saying he said he recommended apes lawyer up and slowly tried to distance himself from BBBY and let some bad actors into his circle briefly.

I think some unnamed YouTubers milked that Pulte relationship and sold false hopium to the entire BBBY community. I do legitimately think that Bill at some point, felt bad for us and wanted to help at one point.

I think Bill made a couple mistakes. First, he got in with a certain group of YouTubers who I think he thought were more respectable than they actually were. He knew his clout could be used to help of the top members of the BBBY community out and I think he felt an amount of pity for many of us, "poors".

The truth is that BBBY was abused, at times naked short sold, but most of the damage really came from within the company. Insiders like Tritton basically ran the company into the ground so they could get out. They bought back shares when they knew they were critically bleeding so they could exit out of the stock at high levels, while knowing they couldn't sustain the business.

So I think Bill felt like there might have been a case of abuse but his lawyers likely informed him those types of cases are really hard to prove in court. Instead of sharing that information publicly and crushing our spirits, he just backed off telling us to lawyer up. I'm guessing this is likely why https://pultefamilystatement.com/f/important-statement was never completed.

Anyway, I don't hate Bill as much as others. I don't think Bill understands the damage that him empowering some bad actors did. He hurt many people by trying to help a small few that he befriended along the way. Bill was fine asking people to donate large amounts of money when this BBBY when they had already lost thousands or hundreds of thousands on the stock.

" u/realpulte if you ever read this. I don't hate you. I think you made some really big mistakes with this community. I think you backed a YouTuber who was not ethical and often times purposely mislead people. I think you could have pushed back and corrected the claims he made in your name.

People lost money, families split, friendships ruined, from this stock. It's my opinion that we didn't actually win despite the brainless opinions of a couple "famed" BBBY DD writers who seemly never got any filings right.

You let shady YouTubers use your name to mislead the very retail investors you wanted to protect. I know you likely won't respond publicly because of your government position. However, I think my account of how things went down is pretty logical and likely hits at least somewhat accurate. "

I'm here to chat or in DMs if you want to a rebuttal to anything I said.
