Hypothetically, let's say you knew that Parler was compromised.

One step further, someone you know put a deal in the works to buy it, but you already knew it was a tainted platform.

He's already at the point where you could end up with an Elon-style court case that tries to compel you to buy it.

So how do you exit the bad deal?

Force the seller to not be able to do business with you.

How do you do that without costing you any money?

Ask Ye.

Now I'm not saying this is exactly what went down.

I'm just saying the idea of owning Parler might be worse than the idea of liking Hitler. It's always been a bit of a sus platform, especially once it came back post-J6.
