Yeah it is kind of dumb that you can turn from being non-profit to for-profit if it turns out you've struck gold. Cheapens the value of non-profits everywhere if they can turn that around whenever they feel like it.

they didnt strike gold, they are trying to inflict their value crash on the public market. effects will be far reaching, including but not limited to people's retirement plans.
