Does anyone know what’s going on? I just drove past their building on Central Ave in front of Meijer and there’s a ton of police cars outside.
Melvin Van Peebles - Brer Soul - YouTube Full Album
>Brer Soul is the debut studio album of Melvin Van Peebles. Released in 1968, the album introduced Van Peebles as a recording artist, following his work as an independent filmmaker, playwright and novelist. It is notable for its use of sprechgesang, a vocal style which lies between speaking and singing.
>Unlike later albums, which are more varied in style, Brer Soul features an experimental spoken word style, with soul jazz instrumentation. Van Peebles' unconventional songwriting style has since been cited as an influence on hip hop music and rapping. Wikipedia
Also an influential filmmaker: Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song [1971]
First heard Melvin Van Peebles in 1970 on the legendary Radio Geronimo - an influential free form pirate station which broadcast from Monte Carlo, a late-night challenge to the UK's conservative BBC. One of the DJ's played Lilly Done The Zampoughi Everytime I Pulled Her Coattail, the first track on this album, on all of his shows. It became something of an underground sensation with Geronimo listeners...
Hello, I am back with another cold case from the Gem State. This is a case that has been on my mind for several weeks now, so I figured it was time to put the spotlight on her.
Roxann Mary Tolson [DOB: 12/29/1959] was a 45-year-old woman living in Post Falls, ID, which is located in the panhandle of the state near Couer d'Alene. She was married to her husband, William, and had an adult son named Lawrence (Larry). Her Charley Project profile lists several other last names she may go by, but I am not sure if that indicates that she had been married before. William and she had been married for about 25 years before she went missing. She was known to be sweet and charming, though she was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder and that could greatly impact her daily living. I also wish I could have even a third of the volume that this woman had in her hair.
By 2005, the marriage between William and Roxann became strained. Her son claims that there was at least one occasion around that time where he had to defend his mother during a fight between the couple. Not long before she disappeared, their neighbors called the police to report a fight that had broken out between the couple.
On August 14, 2005, William alleges that Roxann asked him to go run an errand. When he came back, she was gone. No one has seen Roxann since mid-August of 2005. There was an allegation from a taxi driver that he gave Roxann a ride to the Spokane airport (roughly a half-hour drive from Post Falls) and that she had several bruises and injuries on her body. This claim was never corroborated.
In the time following Roxann's vanishing, William began acting in ways that others found strange. Just a week or so before her last sighting (roughly late July/early August), William sold several of her possessions at a garage sale, including her kitchen utensils, ceramic figures, and makeup. To quote her neighbor, Lori Timmins, (who still bought the stuff from him???) "You’re telling me this girl went without her makeup? Uh uh...She looked like a woman that spends a lot of time on her face and her hair, and I have all of it." While the neighbors were aware that Roxann was gone, William did not file an official missing person report until January 2006. A month later, William and Larry (then 23) were charged with refilling her prescriptions. William also continued to collect her Social Security checks, sold her car, and emptied out her bank account. Both men were ultimately sentenced to probation.

MSM are all copy-pasting Citadel's press release about how they got their "first external investment ever" while doing the usual shitting on RC and GME.
My speculation is that there's a silent crisis going on within Citadel Securities (and/or LLC, not sure) and that they just got bailed-out by Sequoia and Paradigm.
My "scientific" Wikipedia research led me to this chapter under private equity:
Distressed and special situations
Main article: Distressed securities
Distressed or Special Situations is a broad category referring to investments in equity or debt securities of financially stressed companies.[35][36][37] The "distressed" category encompasses two broad sub-strategies including:
- "Distressed-to-Control" or "Loan-to-Own" strategies where the investor acquires debt securities in the hopes of emerging from a corporate restructuring in control of the company's equity;[38]
- "Special Situations" or "Turnaround" strategies where an investor will provide debt and equity investments, often "rescue financing" to companies undergoing operational or financial challenges.[39]
In addition to these private-equity strategies, hedge funds employ a variety of distressed investment strategies including the active trading of loans and bonds issued by distressed companies.[40]
I'm surprised this "investment" (bailout) into Citadel isn't being talked about more. Did my tin-foil-hat just get struck by lightning or does my reasoning make sense?
