Social Credit Scoring
WEB.COM was controlled by Okumus who also have big investment in LifeLock
Then Okumus sold WEB.COM shares to Siris Capital Group
Siris Soros I O … Just coincidence, right?
But Jim also mentioned PayPal and payment processing…

Just partners?

Oh dear!
How many partnership deals are there on PAYMENTS and ID SECURITY?
What data is shared?
Who gets it all?
Who is in control?
This is becoming a tangled web.
Ebay owns Paypal, so who owns Ebay?

Pierre Omidyar founded eBay in 1995 and is company's largest shareholder with 45,398,858 shares
But wait…
While company insiders may hold a lot of eBay shares, most are held by institutional investors. The following are the largest such shareholders as of October 22, 2019:
Benchmark Capital Management Co. LLC 69,502,032 (8.29%)
The Vanguard Group, Inc. 61,888,201 (7.38%)
Icahn Associates Holding LLC 46,271,370 (5.52%)
SSgA Funds Management, Inc. 37,481,148 (4.47%)
The Baupost Group LLC 24,146,000 (2.88%)
And there we are again. Funds control more than Pierre, in fact the top 3 funds all have more shares than Pierre.
And Vanguard is an interesting fund because even ordinary investment people are asking, who owns Vanguard?

My head is spinning… Remember the Network of Global Control? Vanguard came up in that 2007 study here:
The authors of this study also assigned each player in this system a degree of influence. And overall, they found that the 737 top shareholders have the potential to control 80% of all the transnational corporations’ value. These top shareholders are mostly financial institutions in the US and UK. The first 10 on the list:
-
Barclays plc
-
Capital Group Companies Inc.
-
FMR Corporation
-
AXA
-
State Street Corporation
-
JP Morgan Chase & Co.
-
Legal & General Group plc
8. Vanguard Group Inc.
-
UBS AG
-
Merrill Lynch & Co Inc.
Any changes in 2019?
