Bumble will be bought by PE and sold to MATCH. Anyone want to take that wager?

lol it was already bought by PE and now going public

Blackstone owns it.

If this legally possible, that will happen 100%, the match group business is to buy any significant competitor, and they tried in the past to buy Bumble.

Bumble founder was an executive at Match group. She was sexually assaulted. Why she would sell it to them - only to go back to a horror show?

Will the founder maintain a voting majority in the enterprise after it goes public? If not, she won't be able to prevent it, no matter how much she is against it.
