He jumped to his death. BBBY was recently in the news because it was a short-lived repeat of Gamestop's meme stock pump. The company wasn't doing well because it sells overpriced home goods in brick & mortar stores. The stock price was low. Shorts came in, some whales got word and tried to short squeeze it (Ryan Cohen of r/superstonk fame, GME hero of reddit retail traders). Retailers (r/WSB) caught on and started pumping it. Naturally, the institutional investors got out at the top (So much for diamond hands). Retail traders are left holding the bags once again. BBBY stock price is back down below $10. Reddit has been posting suicide hotlines over the past week. People on r/wsb are talking about how they gambled away their life savings again.

Sorry for the chud news source.

On Aug. 16, Arnal sold 42,513 shares in company stock for a little over a $1 million, according to MarketBeat.com.

In 2021, he made more than $2.9 million via Bed Bath & Beyond, including $775,000 in salary and the rest in stock awards, according to InsiderTrades.com.

The company said it has obtained more than $500 million in new financing and was reducing 20% of its workforce. It plans to close about 150 namesake stores but will keep its buybuy BABY chain.

Goddamn, imagine being suicidal because you'd have to live off of only the $775k in salary you made last year. That is literally more than I've made in my entire life.

These people are simply not the same as us, comrade. With the utmost non-violence (hello :fedposting:), they need re-education to end the alienation and come to terms with the harm they have caused. Even the “Bed, Bath and Beyond” people will need to make amends.

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
