from fuckchan: public companies are HUGE. they can't call for a snow day without miles of paperwork and bureaucracy. no matter how smooth they are they can't possibly hide everything if they really are involved with pizza

this is big because this is the first public company (at least to my knowledge) that is being accused of this shit. all other companies (comet/besto/museums) are private and it's almost impossible to find anything about private companies, especially when they don't want you to find it. public companies on the other hand have to document EVERYTHING and the SEC publishes it to the public (hence 'public company')

that means ownership holdings, leadership/management structures, client/partner lists ARE ALL IN THESE DOCS

these things are dense as fuck. I used to be a financial analyst and although there isn't much you can't find out about a public company, you won't find anything you aren't looking for. you need to: 1) know what question you're trying to answer (ie distribution expenditures and capabilities) 2) identify what type of document it would be found in (usually start with the 10k as it is the SEC's name for an annual report - high level, but comprehensive), 3) write down every name or dollar amount that may be suspicious, then move on to another question. you rarely find a red herring in one spot alone. usually you only find one once a name or client starts popping up in multiple areas and shit anyways, even if CPSS is clean as a whistle, I hope this helps a little if you want to dive into another public company or something
