    Can someone educate me on who exactly Kais is or his background? People seem to refer to him like a sideshow character who, from my perspective, appears to be a self-aggrandized moron that foolishly presents himself as a spokesperson for this collective to the media. A troll-food buffet, unfortunately.

      More or less accurate. He’s on “our side,” but I can’t stand the guy.

      I tried giving him a chance (on numerous occasions actually), and he does (occasionally) do something noteworthy (like trolling Jim Cramer during bottle signing), but overall he’s insufferable. Him begging Ryan Cohen for autographed books on Twitter was one of the cringiest things in this whole 3-year saga. That was when I unfollowed him, this time for good.

        For a second I thought it was a bit…then I realized he’s actually just an imbecile. I’ve always thought it was a coin flip as to whether or not he’s a paid shill to make us look like delusional mouth-breathers.

        Ha, Doug Cifu the shady CEO of Virtu? Your comparative statement is an apples-to-asparagus analogy, like “Larry the Cable Guy”>Hitler… Although I’m not 100% certain, considering I still don’t know who Kais is or why he’s a sideshow character in this story’s plot.

    Unfortunately, like I want to celebrate with him but his antics in the early days gave us the the image of being a crazy cult. This damaged the Communities ability at least have people look at our DD objectively.

    When you have a guy harassing reporters doing their job, pissing on the CNBC sign, and trying to break into Sue Gove’s office that’s a hard no from me dawg. I’m not saying that Kais isn’t an intelligent or critical thinker, I’m just saying I don’t agree with the above described actions and don’t wish to associate with that kind of behavior.

    That being said, He did win me over a little bit with the Cramer bottle signing. Like that, is displays his skill in Planning & Execution and that I think should be highlighted. It was objectively hilarious and getting Cramer to drunkenly repeat "Shorts never closed, boom " . 😹
