100% has to be a liquidity issue. I am guessing that they invest the funds in trust in overnight markets and someone has had too many losses.

They are sponsoring FIFA women's football world cup 2023. Definitely, not bankruptcy or liquidity issue.

That would be quite the story, as I have the impression that Booking is absurdly profitable.

That's what they said about Van Moof, and plenty of other companies that ultimately went bankrupt.

They had a pretty bad loss two quarters ago:

"Net income was $266 million, compared with a net loss of $700 million in the prior-year quarter"

Hahah, I wish. Booking stock is at an all-time-high at the moment, and we could have made very good money if they indeed had a liquidity problem.

Poor tech + poor timing. Take off the tinfoil hats.
