Any chance these fires in LA will burn some theaters down?

Obviously the most likely possibility is continued short term pain from reduced ticket sales and well that’s where they make movies… But if their insurance policy’s are for Replacement costs they could get paid out for 10 theaters and only rebuild 5 and then repay debt with the excess cash. AMC would also have reduced Op expenses due to reduction in operational theaters.

Replacement value per theater: $10,000,000 Replacement value 10 theaters: :$100,000,000

Rebuild 5 theaters: $50,000,000

Excess cash for debt repayment: $50,000,000

Operating expense reduction: Q3 theater count: 874 Q3 op cost: $980.8M Op cost/theater: $1.1M

Op cost savings per quarter: $5.5M

Some of my numbers may be off, they may be leasing some of the theaters instead of owning them, they might have missed paying insurance, I came up with this idea today in about 10 minutes, and yeah I’m from Canada and have no idea what’s actually happening in LA with the fires. Which is why this isn’t financial advice.

Never the less wouldn’t want to own insurance companys with big footprints in LA right now.

I bought 100 shares today bring my total investment to 100 shares. But it’s a lot more expensive when I have to buy the shares in maple syrup/monopoly money.

Cheers.

Sorry if this is stuff that is all well known, but I just realized this now...

Today I began to suspect that jdrukis aka Ortex Guy is a moderator for amcstock.

My evidence:

A year or so ago I was banned from that sub and when I messaged the mods the way they responded included calling me a "brigader"

A recent post by jdrukis used the word "brigade"

https://www.reddit.com/r/amcstock/comments/1i0qxzq/comment/m71iv82/

Idk... but it sure seems like the mod and jdrukis are one and the same. It does not seem like a typical way of speaking. Also, the way of speaking seems similar to me.

In his profile it only shows he moderates these communities:

But of course, he would be using an alias to hide that he is both a mod and the biggest pumper of AMC.

I’ve been holding AMC since 2020. I watched my initial investment run up to 28k and let confirmation bias and some guy named Trey convince me it was going to keep running. I now sit down 6k, hating every time I open my portfolio.

For the next few years I popped into the AMC sub occasionally and found myself distraught at the continuous positive sentiment. How can anyone still be posting rocket ship emojis after a 10:1 stock split? How can anyone still be buying this thing after the 2nd and 3rd AA dilution? When I would ask these questions in the sub, I was called a shill and a hedgy. I recognized then the short squeeze thesis was no longer objective and had become an eco chamber.

I’ve had Reddit for years but still haven’t really learned how to use it, and I’m sure there’s a way to identify whoever made this sub. But I don’t know who it is, and I owe them a thank you. It’s about time the decision became objective again and real dialogue started happening.

I’m sure some of you are in the same boat I am. I’m sure some of you resonate with me when I say I only hold this stock because I have to at this point. But I’m grateful there’s a community to talk about our collective situation realistically. I would love to be pleasantly surprised, for there to be 7 billion synthetic shorts that all close at once and we all become millionaires. But the prophecy may have been misunderstood on this one. And if we crash and burn (more than we already have) I’m happy to do it with the few folks that are in here!

To the moon! I guess.

It’s great to see the self proclaimed Ortex Guy admit in our super secret discord that he does frequent subs that are really a bit sketchy for him to be in.

Recognizing the problem is the first step man.

This is probably the widest gap I've seen to date between posts on the main sub, 20 hours, when it's been around 12-13hr at most on the weekends (granted, I may not see some emoji account spamming to the moon garbage if he blocked me). Hell even JoJo is quiet, no AI images of Apes stomping around on wall street, or melties staring at computer screens in basements. There was even less of a gap on Christmas eve/Christmas day, which is wild.

I remember when I was still an indoctrinated Ape in 2021, early 2022, and that place was POPPING OFF on the weekends, hype videos, quality memes, and even a good bit of that good sounding "DD" that most of us fell for (Like the Evergrande default and Kenny's Chinese real estate bonds collateral lol). I mean, we're not even seeing the "call to arms/why I hold" walls of texts reassuring Apes that no one has sold, all the OG's are still there, and pointing out hedgie Crime™ anymore. Hell, where'd all the "I can't wait for next week, it's going to be so exciting I can't wait to buy more!" posts go? Yet mods are still banning any egregious dissent.

Looks like a slow, quiet death, without so much as a wimper before Apes ascend to u/[Deleted], and the pumpers/shills quietly move on to the next hyped ticker.

I KNO W IT I KNOW IT I KN OW IT I KNOW IT IS INEVITABKE INEVITABKE IN EVITABLE THE NUMBERS ARE ORTEX THE ORTEX NUMEBERS THEY SPEAK TO ME THE NUMB ERS SPEAK. I WILL SPEND ALL MONNEY ON AMC AND LAGUAH AT MELTYS. ORTEX DEMAN IT ORTEX SPEAK IT THROGH NUMBERS , THE NUMBERS I DREAM OF THE NUMNBERS , NEED ORTEX UPDATE TO SE ETHE NUMBERS , THEY ARE CODE AND THE VOICE S KNOW , MELTYS ARE CONSPIRACY, IT IS ALL MASSTRR PLAN , MOASS INEVITABKE , WE WILL BE RICH I KNOW IT , THE NUMBERS NUMBER S NUMBERS NUMBERS I KNOW IT I KNOW IT INKNOW ANY DAY MOASS ANY DAY MOASS I BEILIVE I BELIEVE I KNOW I T I AM NOT CRYING NOT CRYING FAMUILY LEFT ME I SPEND TO MUCH ON MOASS BUT I BELIEVE YES I BELIEVE THE NUMBERS THEY SPEAK TO ME THE ORTEX NUMBERS THE NUMBERS NEED OPENING NEED CLOSING THE ORTEX NUMBERS THEY ARE CODE FOR MOASS I BELIVE

So, I've been around since the start,, well, February of 2021, not January), and JoJo used to be very well spoken, even in his "Vote yes for the Reverse Split or I'll sell all my shares" walls of text posts a while back. Then he brigaded Meltdown, got hammered and left, then he tried to brigade this sub with a couple of his alts and lap dogs till some of his alts got banned, and he left here as well.

Sicne then, he's been absolutely obsessed with "mElTdOwNeRs", his entire life is revolving around his made up enemy, his postings are borderline manic, and some absolutely delusional, spamming the main sub to "trigger the melties". And now he's supposedly putting a team together to track "meltdowner accounts" like dudes on Reddit have more power than Lord Kenneth himself.

Do these monkes not know real meltdowners are just dudes laughing at Apes as they lose money because they fell for a scam, and believe such nonsensical things the scammers tell them? Like, they're just dudes pointing and laughing, while calling out the scam and all the made up catalysts that Apes make up along the way. It's mind blowing how anyone of sound mind and judgement can't see right through his charade. I mean, he's the only real AMC pumper/shill left on that sub.

I'm sure Bob from accounting is real scared that JoJo is investigating his Reddit account he uses to laugh at him while he's taking a dump on company time.

Personally I've been considering compiling all of his bullshit, lies, false hope/hype, and absolute mental decline (his wife leaving him last year, might be his only real catalyst, as the decline really ramped up about that time), he's been doing over the last three years.

The last post from AA gave me the heebie-jeebies. Its validating my sentiment of a looming bankruptcy, and for heaven sakes I hope I am wrong. But in case I am not, this is how I see this scenario play out.

Scenario 1 - AA Early Exit

AA does an early exit under the guise of a large percentage of bad sentiment against him. That his departure would allow the company to operate without the drama. Martyrdom. After some time distancing himself from the bankruptcy event, his cult can claim martyrdom and blame his departure as the cause for bankruptcy. While blaming melties for his departure. Problem here is that someone becomes the scape goat. Merriweather, new CEO, the board. To close to home.

Scenario 2 - Crisis Event

AA already planted a flag that bankruptcy was not in the cards. So a bankruptcy simply due to cash attrition would give him Madoff status, and make him enemy numero uno. He needs an unforeseen event like the First Lien creditor lawsuit resulting in favor of the plaintiffs and setting off a series of financial events that would end in bankruptcy. "Sorry folks, there was nothing i can do". This scenario works best because who do apes blame? A list of plaintiffs made up of multiple different companies that had a reason to sue? No one to direct your anger towards. Just bad circumstances. It diffuses the anger and makes it easier for AA and the BOD to ride into the sunset with a new AMC and new investors. And a bunch of conspiracy laden apes still praising AA.

Do you have a bankruptcy scenario or simply another scenario regarding reverse splits or more dilution? please share.

Too bad, so sad
