And the work Frank does at Wave involves patent issues. He hasn't done real science in a long time. Combine that with his age, and he won't be getting a new job at anywhere near his current salary.

He has sunk a lot of money into John's campaign. He has house payments and Porsche payments. And he's got John Flynt running free with the Frank Wu credit cards.

If Frank loses his job, he might have to cut John loose to save himself.

Then again, John could always rejoin the workforce as a senior software engineer, game Dev exec, or award-winning investigative reporter.

ETA: Interesting article from Dec. 16 on Wave's stock collapse:

Wow, didn't know that about Wave's stocks. It's a shame their latest drug didn't work out, but that's pharmaceuticals for you. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...and even if it does work, there's no guarantee there won't be complications down the line that will lead to lawsuits. Looks like they took a hit in April last year after announcing they needed more funding, and it took until the drug trials started for the stocks to begin recovering, only to plummet after the trial failed.

It's probably too early to call whether Wave itself will go under. That article points out that they're still partnered with a couple Big Pharma companies who aren't about to cut their losses just yet. It just means that, for the short-term future at least, if Frank decides to cash out more stock options, he's not gonna get nearly as much as he would have back in 2018. And if the stocks stay low for a longer period, we might see the end of the Mr. Flynt Goes to Washington (but not really) saga, if Frank realizes he can't keep pissing his money away like he used to. Between the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and just wanting to actually have a 401k to retire on, enabling John's wild fantasies with unlimited funding is going to be hard to support. If John can't manage to primary Stephen Lynch this year, it'll never happen, and Frank can kiss the bloated congressional salary and pension goodbye. Makes me wonder if finances are part of why he's supporting this insane bid.

The funniest thing would be if John won't take no for an answer, and Frank just dumped his ghoul ass on the street. Even if John somehow managed to walk away with half of Frank's stuff, he'd piss it all away within a year tops.

No, you don't understand. These Porsches are a part of the Wu investment portfolio. John has seriously argued that his Porsche purchase(s) were solid long-term investments. Because, as we all know, nothing retains its value over time better than a car.

Losing one is about like losing part of your 401k. Well, in Frank's case, it's exactly like that because he's been borrowing against his to fund all these ventures for Brianna.

A new car immediately loses value when it's driven off the lot and only famous/rare/mint condition vintage cars have any value. Of course we all know John doesn't know shit about cars.

This quarter, Wu ACTUALLY PAID PAYROLL TAX! I guess the new accountants must have taken one look at Wu's dodgy "you're all contractors" arrangement and threw their hands up in horror.

To be fair it's far from uncommon to 1099 all of your campaign staffers if they're freelancers who aren't already employed by a larger consulting firm.

As @Norvic mentioned, the chances are very good that Frank's stock options are now underwater, so that source of funding his trophy tranny's insane vanity projects is likely gone. Do the FEC filings tell us the current value of Frank's 401(k)? If the account contains much of his employer's stock, there could be problems there.

Is Frank willing to never be able to retire, to work until he dies to support his laze-about homosexual ghoul?

If Frank loses his job, he'll be lucky to end up as a 55-year-old instructor at a community college. That'll put a crimp in John's lifestyle.

Oh, hey. Speaking of spending other peoples' money... Wu just filed her FEC report. Pretty fucking astonishing that it wasn't filed at midnight on the 31st, but miracles do happen.

Have the previous statements ever been reconciled so that the ending numbers for one period are properly carried forward as the beginning numbers for the next period? Even though it should be trivial to do this, it's also been the biggest stumbling block with Wu's FEC reports so far. if I recall, even some of the amended reports don't/didn't carry forward the correct numbers.

Headline figures:
- Donations are down, just 40K this quarter. That's still an astonishing amount of dosh people are spaffing on this ogre in a dress, but you know what they say about fools and their money.
- They're still spending beyond their means, and not on anything particularly relevant or useful. They unloaded about 45K on the usual suspects this quarter.
- As usual, Paul Cassali, Brandon Kahr and Digital Insurrection picked up the majority of the outgoings. For some reason, they also paid 800 bucks directly to a staff member of Digital Insurrection too.
- This quarter, Wu ACTUALLY PAID PAYROLL TAX! I guess the new accountants must have taken one look at Wu's dodgy "you're all contractors" arrangement and threw their hands up in horror. Do you want liens on your new house? Because this is how you get liens on your new house.
- Wu had the obligatory visit to the Apple store, but it was only for 150 bucks. What does Apple even sell for 150 bucks? I wonder if she threw her iPad at someone too hard and it needed a "genius"'s attention.
- There seems to be more attention to crossing the Is and dotting Ts this quarter. More bank charges and small subscription stuff like mailchimp. No doubt the accountants at work again.
- The subscription to The Wing has disappeared. Not sure whether becase Wu has realised charging this to her political campaign fund was not a good look, or because she's realised that nobody there is going to give the time of day to a huge, awkward man.

At the end of this FEC filing, two loans are listed, one for $24,000 and one for $25,000. The source of both loans is listed as "Brianna Wu." What happened to Frank's loans? And where did John get $49,000?

Frank loaned Brianna Wu aka John Flynt $50k to loa to Brianna Wu’s congressional campaign. Probably to save face so it wasn’t Frank loaning the money to John since we point out John has zero income. It makes Johnny feel like a big boy now.

A John/Frank divorce saga would be THE BEST THING EVER. It would make Marriage Story look like an amicable divorce. John would paint Frank as the abusive husband that Frank's former wives have claimed him to be. Frank wouldn't outright expose John as a lying tranny, but he'd certainly drop a lot of vague hints about it and let people reach their own conclusions.

Especially not the cars he's listing. Even the Mississippi example requires a lot of money (though it at least requires actual work and skill). Very telling of his lifestyle if he thinks a Tesla is middle ground for affordability.

Jesus. Here I am working three jobs, 100 hours a week, and I've just been wasting my time.

Anyone know any rich Chinese VCs, and a good makeup brand to get started on? Asking for a friend.

ETA 2:. Wave has shut down the only independent project it was working on, causing the company's stock to lose 85 percent of it's value. Of the two remaining projects, one is an apparently dormant project with Pfizer, and the other is in partnership with Takeda Pharmaceutical, a big outfit that certainly has its own staff of patent researchers. Frank should probably be worried.

I'm amazed they didn't massage the study or conduct multiples and pick the best one with that much riding on it, that's pretty standard procedure in pharma R&D
 
Here's the thing, while the Wus aren't super rich or anything, they're pretty well-off and Frank's got plenty of investments to coast on. They live really fucking cheaply so Brianna and he both have the chance to indulge their expensive tastes. While the Patreon was Brianna's fucking-around fund previously, that's been mostly abandoned so that Brianna can go to the big leagues. In this regard, she's ironically become substantially more successful than any of the mouth-breathers that originally hedged her out of CON during GG just by virtue of waddling off to where her insanity works better.

Frank will never divorce her, and most of the vehicles Brianna has owned purportedly had robust policies on them so they'd be basically fine if Brianna totalled one of them like a tard. The two of them will be together until unstable hypertension catches up to Brianna and by then she'll have had thousands of more incidents for us to mock.

2020 gonna be a good year. Will Bribri finally sieze her throne as Lolcow of the Year? Perhaps!
