I can't even remember the last time I saw a "HE" sticker.
Maybe he had to buy them all back. 2019 is right when the scandal broke. Are you telling me PWCC grew 10x from then? Your timeline is way off. They were huge in the late 2010s, that was when all the questions were being raised about string bidding and market pushing and so forth. They did not grow another 10x from the start of the scandal in early to mid 2019. I mean if I'm wrong and you can show me data I'll recant, but that does not seem plausible to me.
