TLDR: – Better is set to merge with Aurora Acquisition Corp, making $550 million to $750 million appear out of thin air.
– Triller plans to list directly on the NYSE after previous ventures didn’t hit the right notes.
Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round! Let’s talk about some companies trying to perform the modern corporate version of a magic trick: going public. First up, we have Better, the online mortgage provider that’s finally ready to reveal its public persona. After a suspenseful period of will-they-won’t-they, Better is set to merge with Aurora Acquisition Corp, a special-purpose acquisition company. This magical merger will be like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, making at least $550 million to $750 million appear out of thin air. Well, not quite thin air, but you get the point.
On the flip side, we have Triller. This is the cool kid from Los Angeles that all the celebrities want to hang out with. They’ve got Justin Bieber, Eminem, Cardi B and even Mike Tyson on their roster. They’re taking the road less traveled, opting for a solo journey and planning to list directly on the NYSE. This after their previous ventures of reverse merger and direct listing didn’t quite hit the right notes. Their tool of choice for this endeavor? Short-form video content, the modern man’s TV dinner.
Then there’s Abnormal Security, which, despite the name, is doing anything but abnormal things. They’re preparing for a potential IPO by hiring key talent and announcing revenue that has crossed the $100 million mark. Michael DeCesare, former CEO of Forescout Technologies, and Maya Marcus, a seasoned HR executive, have joined the ranks. They’ve got the money, they’ve got the talent, all they need now is a catchy jingle.
We’re living in a time where companies are clamoring to go public, each trying to shout louder than the other. It’s the corporate equivalent of a schoolyard shouting match, where everyone wants to be the loudest and most noticed. But remember, it’s not always the loudest who are the most successful. Sometimes it’s the ones who quietly go about their business, like Abnormal Security. Or those who persist in the face of adversity, like Better. And then there are those who just want to put on a good show, like Triller. But hey, who am I to judge? I’m just a humble business reporter with a flair for dry…erm…absurdist humor.

TLDR: – Lightning eMotors faces financial challenges and allegations of misrepresentation in regards to its drivetrain’s capabilities.
– The company must now rebuild trust and prove that it can overcome adversity and succeed in the electric vehicle industry.
In the high-stakes game of electric vehicles, the company with the most tantalizing of names, Lightning eMotors, finds itself in the precarious position of having to weather its own storm. A storm of the financial kind, mind you, not the dramatic, nature-infused spectacle we’d hope for from a company named “Lightning”. A name like that, you’d expect them to harness the raw power of nature, not get tangled in the web of corporate misrepresentation.
It turns out that several insiders connected with the pre-merger special purpose acquisition company had a financial urge, stronger than a lightning bolt, to wrap up the deal. This immense incentive, shareholders allege, sent them down a electrified path of overstating the drivetrain’s capabilities. These allegations, quicker than a flash, have been brought to the US District Court for the District of Colorado. And here I thought lightning only struck twice, not thrice, on the courtroom battlefield.
The company’s mission, however lofty it may sound, is sustainable mobility. They’ve decided to rally the troops, clear the smoky path, and commit to rebuilding trust. Trust, it seems, is as elusive as catching lightning in a bottle. And the company certainly has its work cut out for it. After all, it’s one thing to make grand statements about transparency and resilience, it’s another to put your money where your charging port is.
Lightning eMotors, in the face of adversity, must now prove that it’s not just a one-hit wonder – that the lightning it’s named after, can indeed strike twice. The investors, who have been somewhat singed by the whole affair, are waiting to see if the company’s next strike is one of success or another misstep.
But let’s be honest here. In the grand scheme of things, what we’re really looking at is the age-old story of ambition, greed, and the occasional bolt of lightning. The corporate world, much like the weather, is unpredictable and fraught with storms. Companies rise, companies fall, and Lightning eMotors finds itself in the middle of this tempest. The question is, will they manage to ride it out, or will they end up as another cautionary tale?
Only time will tell if Lightning eMotors will re-emerge, phoenix-like, from the ashes of its current predicament. Or maybe, just maybe, the company will find a way to channel its inner Ben Franklin, turn its kite towards the storm, and harness the power of the very lightning it’s named after. The electric vehicle world is waiting, with bated breath, for the next strike.

– The unpredictability of the industry provides excitement and plot twists akin to a mystery novel.
Well folks, it’s another day in the land of business, and surprise surprise, we’ve got another acquisition to talk about. You’d think these companies were playing a game of monopoly, scooping up little firms like they’re Park Place and Boardwalk. But it’s not all fun and games. Oh no, this acquisition is seemingly another harbinger of the future, a signal flashing in neon lights, “Change is a-coming!” So, buckle up your seat belts, folks, we’re heading into uncharted territory.
This business hullabaloo is proof, if you needed any, that the corporate world is as fluid as a three-dollar margarita on a Tuesday night. You never quite know what’s going to happen next. And for those of us who enjoy a good mystery novel, this constant evolution in the technology industry provides all the unpredictable plot twists we could ever want.
Now, let’s talk about this technology industry for a second. Apparently, it’s about to take more twists and turns than a roller coaster at Six Flags. They’re telling us to get ready for an exciting new chapter. As if the previous chapters in the saga of tech weren’t enough to send us into cardiac arrest! But hey, who are we to complain? We’re just the humble spectators watching this high-stakes game unfold.
Now, you’d think with all this change, things might get a bit confusing. But don’t you worry, there’s a free newsletter to keep you informed. Because if there’s one thing we need in this world, it’s more newsletters clogging up our inboxes. I mean, who doesn’t love waking up to a flurry of corporate news alongside their morning coffee?
So, there you have it. Another day, another acquisition. Another twist in the never-ending saga of the technology industry. But don’t worry, the show’s not over yet. There’s plenty more to come. And isn’t that just the way of the world? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, they change the rules on you. So hold onto your hats, folks, because we’re in for a wild ride. And remember, in the world of business, the only constant is change. Let’s just hope the next change doesn’t involve us all becoming robots.

TLDR: – The United States is shifting its import strategy away from China and towards Mexico, in an effort to diversify import partners and reduce reliance on China in the midst of strained trade relations.
– Tech companies like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia are also looking to move away from China and explore opportunities in Mexico, as a way to mitigate the risks of a potential trade war and boost their recovery.
Well, isn’t this a juicy taco of economic news? The United States, in a bold move that would make a salsa dancer proud, has sashayed past China in the race for Mexican imports. And get this, it’s the first time since 2023. Talk about a comeback! But why the sudden fondness for all things Mexican? It seems the US is trying to spice up their import game, not wanting all their eggs (or should I say, avocados?) in the Chinese basket.
As the economic tango between the US and China reaches fever pitch, data shared by Chamath Palihapitiya, the venture capitalist with a knack for turning complicated numbers into juicy gossip, reveals the strategy behind the salsa. With the current trade relations between the US and China colder than a leftover burrito, diversifying import partners could be the hot sauce the US economy needs.
This significant shift in import behavior is not an isolated incident, but part of a grander, strategic two-step. You see, Apple recently got a virtual slap in the face from China when iPhones were banned in government offices. That’s like telling the Kardashians they can’t take selfies. It’s no surprise that Apple’s stock took a belly flop. The company lost around $190 billion in market worth in just two days. That’s enough to buy everyone in the US a round of tequila shots and still have some change left over.
But don’t think it’s just Apple sobbing into its margarita. Other tech heavyweights like Tesla and Nvidia, who’ve been cozying up to China for years, are feeling the chill too. If a full-blown trade war breaks out, it could put the brakes on their recovery and squeeze their revenues. It’s like a late-night party when the cops show up – not good for anyone involved.
But let’s not get too gloomy here. The data hinting at a move away from China could be a silver lining in this trade war cloud. Take Tesla for example. Currently, they’re making about half of their electric cars in China, but they’ve recently started work on a Gigafactory in Mexico. That’s right, Musk is trading in dumplings for tacos, and it could be just the diversification strategy they need.
The rise of Mexico as a key trading partner for the US is the mariachi band in this economic fiesta. Thanks to NAFTA, the free trade agreement among the US, Canada, and Mexico, trading barriers are as low as a limbo stick at a beach party. This could create a thriving environment for businesses to expand their operations.
So, as we continue to salsa through the complexities of global trade, let’s remember that adaptability and resilience are key. Shaking up supply chains, diversifying import partners, and stepping out of our comfort zones might just be what keeps our economies spinning on the dance floor of global trade. Sure, there will be challenges and missteps along the way, but as long as we keep our sense of humor, we’ll be able to handle whatever the DJ throws our way.

TLDR: – Phish staged a benefit show in Saratoga Springs, New York, to support flood recovery efforts in Vermont and surrounding areas, incorporating a Wizard of Oz theme into their performance.
– The band delivered a mesmerizing performance, showcasing their musical prowess and on-the-spot creativity, leaving the audience inspired and hopeful.
On a night that coincided with the 84th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz’s premiere, Vermont jam band Phish channeled a tad of Oz magic to stage an unforgettable evening of hope and solidarity. The benefit show in Saratoga Springs, New York, was one of two organized in light of the devastating flash floods that swept Vermont and surrounding areas in July. Phish, known for their playful personalities, sprinkled their performance with iconic film themes and even dressed the part – drummer John Fishman made a splash in a Lisa Simpson-inspired dress, replete with blue droplets representing flood recovery.
Phish kicked off the evening with the vivacious “Kill Devil Falls” and “The Moma Dance,” setting the stage for a mix of classic and new tunes. The audience was treated to the second release of “Ocelot” this year, a spectacular high point that had fans buzzing. Bassist Mike Gordon’s song “Mull” and the Phish staple “Punch You In The Eye,” performed with the band’s signature intricate weaving, were other noteworthy additions to the setlist. Lighting designer Chris Cloda and visual artist Andrew Giffin conjured up stunning visuals that amplified the mesmerizing performance of “Sand,” and a cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Rock and Roll.”
Guitarist Trey Anastasio surprised everyone with his impromptu incorporation of the Wizard of Oz theme “Munchkinland” into “Sand.” This spontaneous decision sparked excitement and curiosity among the audience and online viewers, adding an unexpected twist to the performance. The second set saw Fishman sporting a Lisa Simpson dress and a munchkin ponytail, keeping with the Wizard of Oz theme. The song combination of “Evolve,” “A Wave of Hope,” and “Simple” resulted in 45 minutes of dark and exploratory improvisation, demonstrating the band’s adeptness at on-the-spot creativity.
The energy surged to a climax as Phish launched into “Fuego,” followed by an explosive performance of “Chalk Dust Torture,” featuring an outro that quotes “Munchkinland.” This brought the Wizard of Oz theme full circle, drawing cheers and applause from the audience. For the encore, Phish chose “Wading in the Velvet Sea,” a somewhat ironic choice for a flood relief fundraiser, but its poignant lyrics struck a chord with the audience. The band wrapped up the show with “Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S.,” leaving the crowd inspired and hopeful.
As the audience dispersed to the familiar strumming of “We’re Off to See the Wizard,” the spirit of the show remained palpable. Phish’s Flood Relief Benefit Show was not just a night of entertainment, but also a testament to music’s power to uplift spirits and rally support for a cause. For those who didn’t catch the performance live, free streaming is available, along with the chance to enjoy Phish’s unique blend of music and humor while supporting a noble cause. It was indeed a night where music, philanthropy, and a bit of Oz magic collided, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the devastation of the floods.

TLDR: – Tax authorities are cracking down on transfer pricing and profit shifting, requiring companies to ensure transparent practices and thorough documentation.
– The 2023 Proxy Season highlights the need for strong internal controls, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity accounting. Investing in upgrades to internal controls is increasingly popular.
The COGS Cops are coming! And no, this isn’t the premise for a new action-packed comedy about an elite force of accountants. It’s a stark warning to companies engaging in transfer pricing and complex multinational businesses. These guys mean business, and they’re out hunting for tax violators like a vegan searching for the last tofu burger in a barbecue.
The launch of their campaign is not some lighthearted PR stunt. It’s as serious as a heart attack, or a sudden audit. It’s a reminder that tax authorities are now sporting night vision goggles, actively seeking out those who play fast and loose with terms like ‘arm’s length’. They’re no longer turning a blind eye to profit shifting. In other words, it’s no longer a free-for-all at the international tax buffet.
Here’s some free advice: Check your transfer pricing practices. Ensure they’re as transparent as your grandma’s cellophane-wrapped cookies. And for goodness’ sake, document everything. It seems the era of corporate tax leniency has gone the way of the dodo and the dinosaur – extinct! So, you might want to invest in a good internal review or two, basically anything that can help spot potential issues and take corrective actions. Because these COGS Cops aren’t easily fooled, and they’re not known for their light touch.
Meanwhile, in a plot twist that surprises no one, the 2023 Proxy Season reporting has highlighted the need for a proper handle on internal controls. It’s not exactly party time for audit committee chairs or the CFOs and accounting teams facing the enormous task of fixing these issues. Let’s just say it’s like trying to undo the chaos caused by a toddler in a toy shop.
Leading the charge in the restatement stakes are the usual suspects – revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity accounting. These areas are like the unholy trinity for IPO / SPAC startups. Investing in upgrades to internal controls over financial reporting is becoming more popular than a politician promising lower taxes.
More importantly, never underestimate the power of a well-crafted internal audit roadmap. It’s like a well-oiled compass in a world of financial fog. And in the midst of all this, remember that speed-to-market reporting can quickly go from enthralling to excruciating. We’ve learned this the hard way, through a series of unfortunate accounting events, failed audits, and resultant shattered dreams.
So, as we gallop towards the end of the year, prepare for some more fun and games. Expect more scrutiny from the SEC and an increased oversight from the PCAOB, especially as IPOs and SPACs mature. The million-dollar question is, will the business plans pan out or will they crumble like an overbaked financier cake? And will the funding and accounting keep up, or will they be left behind like a runner with a bad stitch? Only time will tell.

TLDR: ScanTech Identification Beam Systems LLC is going public through a merger with Mars Acquisition Corp, with a valuation of nearly $150 million. Their identification beam system has the potential to transform logistics, medical, and security operations.
Well, strap in folks, because the world of technology is about to take a wild, whizz-bang ride on the roller coaster of financial marketplaces. The Georgia wonder, ScanTech Identification Beam Systems LLC, has decided to stop hogging the techie limelight all to itself and is set to go public through a merger with Mars Acquisition Corp. And we’re not talking about a basement operation run by guys in polyester pants. With a valuation that’s a hair shy of $150 million, ScanTech is not your Aunt Sally’s knitting club.
Now, what makes ScanTech so special, you ask? Well, it’s their eye-popping, jaw-dropping identification beam system. This is not your run-of-the-mill laser pointer that your cat chases around. No, this fancy gadget could transform logistics, medical, and security operations. Imagine, never misplacing a shipping container or a kidney again.
Not to mention the security applications. At this rate, even Superman will be out of a job soon. And helping this technology wonder-wagon to the finish line is none other than Mars Acquisition Corp – because what’s a revolutionary tech company without a space-themed partner?
This merger is no ordinary one. It’s like a cosmic collision that creates a new star in the tech galaxy, a star that would not just light up our world, but illume our future. And as we know, the future can always use a little extra light, or at least a decent flashlight.
The merger is more than a business deal; it’s a testament to human ingenuity. It sparkles with the beauty of a thousand LED screens. And what’s more, it’s made right here on Earth. In an era where we are more likely to get news of billionaires launching themselves into space, it’s reassuring to know that some of our brightest minds are still here, toiling away in Georgia, to make something that truly matters.
In the end, all we can say is that the future is looking pretty slick with ScanTech Identification Beam Systems LLC in the driver’s seat. Their merger with Mars Acquisition Corp is not just a game changer, it’s the new game in town. The combination of their advanced technology and the financial muscle of Mars Acquisition Corp is like the peanut butter and jelly of the tech world – an odd pairing perhaps, but one that tastes awfully good.
And so, as we stand on the precipice of this new tech era, one thing is clear – the future may be uncertain, but at least it’ll be well lit, thanks to the beacon that is ScanTech. So here’s to hoping this merger is as successful as the hype suggests, and that we all get to enjoy the glow.

TLDR: – Fish performed a special, not-for-profit concert to raise funds for flood cleanup efforts.
– The band showcased their musical prowess and ability to seamlessly transition between classic hits and new favorites, creating unforgettable moments for the audience.
What do you get when you blend the musical prowess of Fish, the band’s endless energy, and a heavy sprinkle of Wizard of Oz references? A very special, not-for-profit, jam-infused night at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs, New York. The band, fresh off a summer tour, took to the stage to raise funds for flood cleanup efforts in Vermont and upstate New York, proving that their hearts are as big as their talent.
The show kicked off in style with a high-octane performance of “Kill Devil Falls,” showcasing the band’s seamless ability to transition between classic hits and new favorites. The audience was treated to a virtuoso performance from guitarist Trey Anastasio, who fired off a series of riffs that were as bewildering as they were beautiful. It wasn’t all about Anastasio, though. The rest of the band laid a solid foundation for improvisation, with drummer John Fishman’s agile hi-hat playing being a particular highlight in the band’s superb rendition of “Mal.”
The crowd was given a blast from the past when the band broke into a rendition of “Punch You in the Eye,” a song which had been absent from the setlist for almost a year. This nostalgic nod was well-received by the audience, but it was the unexpected musical tribute to The Wizard of Oz that really whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Midway through a jam, Anastasio began playing the familiar riff of “Welcome to Munchkinland,” which initially seemed out of place but soon merged beautifully with the music, creating an unforgettable climax.
The second set was no less impressive, with the band delivering an extraordinary performance of “A Wave of Hope,” a song that has become synonymous with outstanding improvisation. However, the band didn’t rest on their laurels, instead following up with a spectacular rendition of “Simple.” Bassist Mike Gordon and Anastasio created a fantastical space, transitioning seamlessly between different musical themes, much to the delight of the audience.
The performance came to a close with a soulful rendition of “Wading in the Velvet Sea,” with keyboardist Paige McConnell taking the lead vocals. As the band left the stage, the original version of “We Welcome You to Munchkinland” echoed through the venue, marking the end of a truly magical evening. Fans, left in a state of euphoria, couldn’t help but wonder how they could return to the real world after such an exceptional show. But with the band set to return to the stage for another much-anticipated performance, one thing is clear: the magic of Fish concerts is here to stay.
In bringing references from the Wizard of Oz to their dizzying improvisations, Fish proved they are in a league of their own. The band continues to cement its position as one of the greatest live bands of all time, creating unforgettable musical moments, and reminding us all that in the world of music, anything is possible. So, get ready to enter a world where “Welcome to Munchkinland” might just become your new favorite song. Bravo Fish, you’ve done it again!

TLDR: – Brand Engagement Network Inc. is merging with a special-purpose acquisition company, redefining customer engagement AI and revolutionizing the future of customer engagement.
– The merger signifies a groundbreaking development in the AI industry that is expected to have a ripple effect across different industries, revolutionizing entire sectors.
Well, folks, there’s some big news in the artificial intelligence world. The leading light in the customer engagement AI industry, Brand Engagement Network Inc., is about to make some serious bank. In a move that redefines the phrase “going for broke”, they’re going public, merging with a special-purpose acquisition company. The masterminds behind this winning strategy? The three leading firms that excel in the art of legal juggling — Haynes and Boone LLP, and Cooley LLP.
Now, let’s talk about the company that’s sparking all this excitement. Brand Engagement Network Inc., a name that exudes the charm of a corporate boardroom, is set to revolutionize customer engagement with AI. And it’s not just about teaching machines to say “How may I assist you today?” in a hundred different languages. With this merger, they’re set to raise the bar for what AI can achieve, and redefine the future of customer engagement.
This merger seems less like a partnership and more like a game of chess with a cash prize. You see, the special acquisition purpose vehicle — a fancy name for a pile of money — is there to provide the much-needed resources for the company’s expansion. And who knows? Maybe with all that capital, they’ll finally invent a bot that can tell a customer ‘no’ without sounding like it’s ripping their heart out.
Then we have our legal eagles, Haynes and Boone LLP, and Cooley LLP. They’re not just there for the paperwork — their role goes beyond dotting the ‘i’s and crossing the ‘t’s. They’re bringing their tech-savvy intellect to ensure a smooth transition and a lucrative outcome for all involved. And let’s be honest, in the world of corporate law, things can get as messy as a spaghetti dinner without a bib.

TLDR: – SPACs are a popular investment game, but investors should approach them with caution and skepticism due to the risks involved.
– Regulatory scrutiny is increasing in the SPAC industry, and not all transactions lead to profitable outcomes, resembling a lottery ticket with uncertain results.
In the grand casino of investing, it appears we’ve found a new game folks are lining up to play: SPACs – Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. Now, if you’re getting visions of a golden goose laying billion-dollar eggs, I hate to break it to you, but it might just be a regular old farm bird with a coat of cheap gold spray paint.
Take the recent kerfuffle with Velodyne Lidar Inc. for example – a company known for its autonomous driving technology. They got all lovey-dovey with Graf Industrial Corp., a SPAC, and went public. The honeymoon ended quickly when they merged with Ouster Inc., another SPAC darling. Suddenly, a former shareholder’s crying foul, claiming he and others were duped into a shotgun wedding that enriched a select few while leaving the rest with a hangover.
This lawsuit is just one of many in Delaware’s Chancery Court, a fighting pit where M&A legal battles are more common than flies on a horse in August. But before we start casting stones at Velodyne and Graf Industrial, let’s pause and consider the risks involved. After all, transparency and accurate disclosure are the pillars of any good SPAC transaction. But in this case, investors might have been given a map to a treasure at the end of the rainbow that turned out to be a pot filled with nothing more than rusty pennies.
So, my humble advice? Approach these SPAC investments with caution and a healthy dose of skepticism. I’ll tell you what I tell my kids about fast food – it might look shiny and delicious on the outside, but you never know what kind of mystery meat you’re getting on the inside.
As the SPAC industry evolves and lawsuits continue to surface like bad jokes at an open mic night, regulatory scrutiny is bound to increase. Not all blank check transactions end up in bricks of gold at the end of the rainbow. Sometimes, all you find is a note saying, “Better luck next time, buckaroo.”
So, in the end, it’s a bit like buying a lottery ticket. You might strike it rich, but more often than not you’re just left with a worthless piece of paper and a slightly lighter wallet. Remember, it’s not the pot of gold, but the thrill of the hunt that keeps this game fun. So, tread carefully, have a good laugh, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
