Coca-cola might owe $130 million for ancient stock certificate

[WelshBloke]

Have you ever watched the tv show "Duck Dynasty"?

Why is it that people think making money is reserved for certain social groups?

No.

And.

How are they making money rather than just taking it from someone else?

 

[Texashiker]

No.

Maybe you should watch the show.

Its about how the father invented a duck call decades ago, then the sons took the idea and formed a multimillion dollar business around it.

Mainly because they haven't made $100mil, they are trying to con/extort/steal/finagle $100mil out of a company.

Who said someone was trying to scam coke?

You think its impossible for a regular everyday person to strike it rich?

Well played Sir...

If that letter was proven to be real, I would have no other choice but to go to court to see how much could be claimed according to my current self worth.

the key here is, the only reason that IOU was/is worth $1M is because the letter says "I owe you x% of everything", and you now own $1B.

Isn't that how stocks work?

How is Coke being scammed here?

The certificate is either legitimate or it isn't.

If it is legitimate then Coke could have ended up paying out anyway.
