"Fun" fact.

Haha! Well if its true that the parent fun fact is not true, its shocking because I read that in a book[1] authored by Dan Cryan [2].

Seconded I have done very well investing in RCP though its on a premium now.

Note Its a defensive IT designed to preserve wealth

It was a decades-old, anti-semitic trope. So the amount of "fun" it ever created is somewhat is dispute.

Judging from the other links, it’s the Waterloo stock market legend.

There seems to be some reluctance here to even referring to it, but I don’t subscribe to that so here you go:

Yet even now the removal message refers to it as a “fun” fact, making me somewhat less enthusiastic about OP’s moral compass. Although, I guess, in the best possible light, and some squinting, one could consider this an artifact of inelegant phrasing, or anchoring on whatever the post previously said. Then again, when first told of the true nature of their post, the instant reaction was to defend it with pretend ignorance, not to do a quick search trying to verify it.

Meanwhile, that reply calling the original post anti-semitic propaganda remains gray. It’s somewhat telling that the community seems to consider a myth of jewish war profiteering more worthy than an abservant user calling it out.

But, to quote OP: anti-semitism, “no longer fun. lol”

how is it antisemitic? seems like an interesting point how some people used a clever information network to gain an advantage?

Why is (was) this entirely truthful objection (see other posts) flagged? Is it now offensive to call anti-semitic myths, well, that? Even the original poster was (eventually, sort of) convinced.
