He grew up in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, where he started a ski-tuning shop in his parents' basement when he was 12 and two years later, using $2,500 in bar mitzvah gifts as seed capital and a lease signed by his father, he opened a formal ski shop in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, named Mike's Ski and Sport.[14][13]
By the age of 16, he was some $120,000 in debt and was able to settle with his creditors using a $37,000 loan from his father under the condition he attend college.[13] Rubin agreed, continuing to operate the business, which grew to five ski shops before he entered college.

Wish my parents bought me a ski shop at age 12.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rubin_(businessman)Oh yeah. The monopolization that Fandom is trying to do is exactly what Fanatics is doing with sports memorabilia.
Wish my parents bought me a ski shop at age 12.
Is this right guy? Google may think fanatics = fandom lol
Wish my parents bought me a ski shop and then covered.my bankruptcy until I could reorganize and franchise.

Hope he has made an account and will post on CE.
Hard to believe a guy like that would want to shut down a left leaning politics board.
Fandom was acquired in 2018 by TPG Inc. and Jon Miller through Integrated Media Co.[11]
Lmao
These guys don't make micro decisions. Not even the top guys at fandom probably involved other than when they went in on the deal.
The owner just sits back and let their stocks and such give them free money. Maybe chew the president and CEO out at a board meeting if that not going well.
Your probably right, but I do have a conspiracy theory that the GOP loves what Orbon did with the media in Turkey where he had all his friends buy it up, and is trying to do that here.
Elon buying Twitter and the government trying to ban Tik Tok are seemingly unrelated, but certainly do help the GOP and pushes us closer to the Turkey model. I just also keep an eye out for any other right wing billionaire buying up property and a left leaning platform they now own getting shut down.
Sorry but it's some crazy level of delusion to imply a rich CEO wants to shut down a site with a few thousand users because he thinks the left wing discourse is dangerous. GameFAQs is so far down the ownership chain and such a small value part of their portfolio that he probably barely even knows what it is.Oh, I full well know its incompetentence. These guys didn't reach this level of wealth from hard work and being smarter.
I swear everyone thinks all this Fandom stuff is part of some targeted campaign, when the most likely explanation is that it's just corporate incompetence handling a low value asset that they're not exactly sure how to extract more out of. It sucks but shit like this happens all the time
They did this in Hungary also
Oh, I full well know its incompetentence. These guys didn't reach this level of wealth from hard work and being smarter.
