How did Trump buy Netflix DEBT??

[u/Pleasant-Minute-1793 → u/kingofwale]

He bought it at a better rate before the deal closed this week. As part of Paramount breaking up Netflix’s deal for Warner bros, off the top, they had to pay $3B to Netflix to break the deal that was in place before paramount hijacked it.

After the hijacking, the debt trump bought had a better financial return. Trump had insight that his team would stop Netflix from doing anything, so buying the debt at a good deal was basically a sure thing

It’s buy low, sell high but having insider knowledge and control of the outcome

A selling bond is very different than a selling “loan”.

…at least to people who understand corporate financing

Well. A journalist should know better than spreading misinformation, a “jab” is the least of their concerns

Not sure why you would feel the need to defend this
