Guess who owns Jpay, the extortionate phone system that some prisons have used to replace face to face visits entirely

https://www.wired.com/story/jpay-securus-prison-email-charging-millions/

Securus, a telecom group, and JPay, a money transfer specialist, are both owned by Platinum Equity. Both have been accused of overcharging for phone calls and cash withdrawals. Examples included charging monthly maintenance fees, ATM decline fees, and extras for video calls.[5]These rent-extracting practices are reminiscent of the way private equity firms levy advisory and deal fees on portfolio companies.

Beasley is going on go to Orlando, go through quarantine, sit through his suspension and the Nets will be knocked out. This is perfect, ideal fit for Beas.

I suspect this was already set up and they're just releasing/finalizing it because of the Twitter storm re: the food.

i just meant putting someone essentially in charge of nutrition who has an explicit competitive stake in the nba

not that fertitta would, i dunno, lace the lakers’ food with gravy or crush up sleeping pills in their buckets of crab or whatever, but it seems odd that one of the owners is in charge of the food supply

it'd probably be in the NBA's best interest to do whatever they can to make Fertita lose as much money as possible to pressure him into selling the team to an owner who won't dismantle his highly competitive team in order to save money. adam silver should Shut Up And Listen (to me)

And I don't think anything is forcing players to eat from one of Fertitta's places, it's an option. And I am pretty sure there are already laws that prevent you from purposefully poisoning people.

He also has cornered the boomer-chain restaurant so I'm not exactly shocked almost all outside restaurant options in Orlando are his.

of course not, but do you think if fertitta wanted to come into the kitchen of the business he owned, anyone would tell him no? he never would because can't leave any evidence when you inflict diarrhea upon a man. so do you think if he told his underpaid employees to poison LeBron or be fired, they would listen? it's 2020 metapod, get on the conspiracy theory train or get out imo
