A large number (>20) of Private Jets landed in Omaha yesterday afternoon
Jets flew from HQs of Regional Banks, Ski Resorts & DC
Did Buffett just fly all the regional bank CEOs into Omaha & offer a deal to SAVE the banks?
$BRK.B
$WAL, $PACW, $FRC, $ZION, $KEY, $FITB, &more
🧵
Did Buffett give all the Regional Banks the same deal? Was it 10% preferreds + warrants again? Which banks took the deal?
Or maybe it is just a great time of year to visit Omaha?
Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful
~Warren Buffett
The Private Jets arrived in Omaha in multiple groups. Sometimes landing at almost the same exact time.
Did Buffett schedule some meetings with different groups of CEOs every hour?
Number of Jets arriving:
5 ~10am (est)
3 ~2pm
5 ~3:30pm
5 ~5pm
6 ~6:15pm
3 ~7:30pm
Here is our list of all the private jet flights into Omaha along with a potential regional bank HQ nearby.
*Almost all the NetJets planes used were grounded all week long*
Omaha Private Jets we tracked flew to and from the HQ's near the following Regional Banks:
$PACW
$WAL
$FRC
$ZION
$KEY
$FITB
$VHN
$HBAN
$UMBF
$ALLY
$PNFP
$EWBC
$RF
$MTB
$ASB
$SF
$MOFG
$NTRS
$BMO
Note - don't know which banks are in Nola; Fort Wayne, IN; Denver; Milwaukee; Vegas
We are Short Globe Life $GL
We uncovered that Executives Disregarded Wide-Spread “Insurance Fraud” While They Received Millions in Undisclosed Kickback Scheme
Full report below
Some of the flights with multiple stops were only on the Ground for 15-30 min
So just long enough for another person (CEO or Boardmember?) to jump on or off the plane.
N732WB went from:
Omaha -> Pueblo, CO -> Lake Havasu, AZ -> Phoenix -> Santa Barbara
We tracked the private jets in & out of Omaha by using the ADSB-exchange.
Then we researched each plane. The high amount of traffic for KOMA (the private part of OMA airport) yesterday was highly unusual.

i would guess for the smaller ones he offered to do ~10% of their mkt cap in newly issued preferreds.

@TheWuhanClan
Thanks for flagging! We left them in there just in case they were allowing a friend to borrow their jet on busy day ;-)
Also, interestingly the inbound Kiewit & Union Pacific flights are the only ones that don't come almost exactly in a group with the others.
Thus far our research has resulted in:
- 5 CEO's being fired/resigning
- 3 SEC investigations with 1 "conviction"
- Multiple Board members resigning
+ A major gov't policy change (never published)
Think our next idea is our best yet.
Enjoy!

We are short $WKHS. Website is down but once we ge it back up and running it's should be enough to take some heat off of $NKLA as the worst EV company for quite some time.

running slightly behind schedule - some new former employees decided to finally call back last night so adding additional details now.
See you at 8:45am est
We discovered potential revenue fraud and a completely fake order book at $WKHS.
Management never addressed it nor responded.
Today $WKHS CFO and COO resigned…is that your only response?
Our followers have known about the DOJ investigation into $XPOF for months
It took too long for $XPOF to fire CEO & serial liar Anthony Geisler
If Brenda Morris cleans house; cleans up the accounting; and stops stealing from franchisees then the stock is going way lower

We have only 1 question for $GL's Earnings Call
Now that everyone knows about all the insurance fraud that has occurred:
"What are you going to do about it?"
Earnings: 4-22 (mkt close)
CC: 4-23; 11am est
Dial in: 786-697-3501
PW: Globe Life Inc.
$FSR just delayed earnings that were set to be released right NOW because the Chief Accounting Officer “departed” on Oct 27th
The CTO also resigned on Oct 30th
Seems like the whole c-suite that isn’t married to the CEO jumped ship before earnings
We are shocked by $GL's audit committee's lack of due diligence. Didn't even bother to reach out to us
Liberty National agents told us the fraudulent underwriting occurred there too
More AIL agencies have been added post report to our corroborated fraudulent underwriting list
BDO resigned as $ELMS auditor citing “information that an illegal act…has or may have occurred”
BDO refuses to rubber stamp ELMS financials.
Reminder that most of ELMS cash is pledged to pay for the factory.
Cash App Side Payments to Managers -
Former agents told us they had to even make cash app side payments to their managers.
Here are screenshots they shared with us of the side payments.

USPS delaying the contract award til Q1-2021 (usps Q2) = bad news for $WKHS
Why?
Ford announced the E-transit, their EV, since the last USPS update
Delay likely due to USPS finalizing negotiations with Ford which now includes the Ford E-transit’s
$XPOF management told investors that our report was wrong about their "debt covenants" & there was No "closed store debt covenants" that were applicable on 6-28 & 6-29
Turns out they were busy negotiating a debt covenant waiver.
The waiver was signed on June 30th
