Fanbois are downvoting me but this headline illustrates how Amazon operates. They pump the PR and press cycle to get a pop and work it for all it's worth for cash extraction to insiders. Their accounting practices are enron level egregious. This is going to blow up at some point.

* Though I must add apology that this is a rather low information post with a low quality link. Mr. Kranzler details elsewhere in his feed the extent to which Amazon abuses GAAP.

Your comment here breaks two points in the HN guidelines.

You don't like me. Ban the account. Don't pretend this about fairness and rules. The "flag" shadow deletion trick is skeezy as hell. This whole thing is a system for weak passive agressive nerds.

And your commenting to people that have had consistently amazing experiences with Amazon for over 10 years.
Me too. Devoted customer. Short position.
I don't think you should presume to speak for others on this matter, thank you.
