Worst. Deal. Ever.<\/a><\/h3>\n

Noah Kirsch, <\/strong>Forbes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In November, Eric Baker’s online ticket marketplace Viagogo purchased rival StubHub for $4 billion. Baker was actually one of StubHub’s co-founders before he was fired from the company.

Putin is well on his way to stealing the next election<\/a><\/h3>\n

Franklin Foer, <\/strong>The Atlantic<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you thought the United States might’ve learned something from Russian meddling in the last presidential election, think again. The Atlantic <\/em>details how some of the same vulnerabilities still exist, which means “the Russians could have strolled through the same door as they had in 2016.” What’s more, Foer explains how, with an election quickly approaching, one plan in motion is to “to identify democracy’s most glaring weakness by deploying college kids on their summer break.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
