In this episode of the Liquidity Event, we’ve got Shane on vacation and John in the hot seat. We’ve got tons of scams this week. Mortgage scams, NFT scams, bitcoin scams, 401(k) scams, and more. Brex made a very interesting acquisition of Pry, a financial forecasting company aimed at early-stage start-ups. Also in the news is that news organization CNN is killing their short-lived CNN+ streaming service, it only lasted a month. Sad face. We also discover the maniacal term “stresslaxation” which basically sums up the modern human condition. This one is on vacation.
