It has been reported that Michael S. Dell bought 254,545 shares of DVMT on Jan. 9 for $27.50 per share.

On that day, you or I would have to pay $57.76 a share.
Should also note that was less than the $47.20 we were offered as part of the merger.
So he made $7.7M (gross) just on that transaction.
I guess that's what we are here for as employees of a private company, to help build his wealth while fearing being laid off.
Government regulations and predatory taxation by local authorities, all quietly financed by large corporations giving huge fees to politicians for 20 minute speeches , are the only things stopping this
Why these mega-mergers? Fees, egos, and pricing power. In the end employees lose. Who is dumb here?
Just as Marx had predicted, this crisis of global-debt-cartel-state capitalism was the result of internal contradictions built into all forms capitalism dominated by capital and the state that protects and serves capital. I guess very many folks partied too hard with the merger.
