Our roads are flooded, no traffic lights are working, gas and water are not available, but I damn sure want to focus on looking at a new security vendor.
I mean... she gave you the picture not much effort at that point.

@irj Oh I got one of these too I get emails from.
Yeah they are the only ones with a profile picture like that

Man she looks like she's being held hostage with that picture.
-
@coliver yeah she changed it recently. Previous one was better though it was in a mirror so you could see her phone and her taking a selfie lol

Is there any additional information on this, or has anything new come to light?

Seeking Alpha has covered Ubiquiti pretty well since then. They aren't fond of the way the CEO has handled the allegations as well as other areas of the company, but ultimately they, like many others, don't see the ultimate fraud that Citron claims to see.

In other news, Citron apparently has chosen their next victim... Shopify. Has made some pretty bold claims against them as the new Herbalife (If you haven't seen the documentary about Herbalife "Betting on Zero" you should). It seems to me like Citron is really trying to capitalize on their 15 secs of fame.
-
There are still concerns and questions about the CEO and his commitment and focus, especially as he reportedly is looking to take a majority stake in an NBA team soon. From an investor standpoint, disregarding Citron's fraud accusations, it's a concern, however doesn't ultimately affect the products.
-
I found the seekingalpha website, but I've never heard of them before looking into this topic today. It does seem that the CEO is a bit off of his rocker / not ideally suited for the role in which he is in.
-
Never heard of Seeking Alpha? They're pretty popular in the finance/investing world. It's just a good place to do/get analysis on different companies. They're definitely reputable.

I'm not big into investing / finances.

Didnt he already take a majority stake in the Grizzlies?
-
@bigbear I thought he bought into a team as well, but not a majority share of it.
-
My memory is alluding me, but I seem to remember reading that he would soon have an opportunity to take a larger stake, whether full ownership or large(r) majority, and that some were waiting to see what he would do. I believe Citron was using this info as justification for part of their accusations but I can't remember the argument.
I know from an investor standpoint, it's not ideal to see a young, growing company with a CEO who may be more focused on signing the next star free-agent player vs developing the next great networking device.

Yeah, but the CEO is just investing, that it is a sports team is irrelevant. Everyone in a CEO role is investing, this is a red herring. Also, CEOs don't develop products.
Basically someone is blowing smoke and pretending that CEO's having lives of their own should not be allowed.

You mean like Mark Cuban? (who's a tech billionaire).

@scottalanmiller So he's not at all involved in the front office decisions of the team that take time away from CEO of Ubiquiti? I'm not saying a man can't spend his time on other endeavors (Elon Musk) I'm just saying for a young company like UBNT many investors would likely like to see him focusing more of his time on the company he's trying to grow.
Yes I'm aware he doesn't actually develop the products himself, but he's also not kicked back in his chair in the corner office strumming a guitar all day. The man is overseeing a $4.5 billion dollar company. If I'm an investor, I'd like to see him more focused on UBNT than the Grizzlies. That's my personal preference and I've seen others who have shared this same sentiment but that's to each investor's choosing.
