https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-13/amateur-j-c-penney-traders-beg-judge-to-save-them-from-wipeout

Reading this makes my blood boil. Giving even the slightest shred of credence to such ridiculous claims defies the rule of law. But then again, we've seen the Gov't and the Fed practice crony capitalism and bail out various companies and entities (from the Auto Labor Unions by BHO, to countless other companies that were bailed out or violated their fiduciary duties, with no-one other than investors paying the price, so maybe this is payback time).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Not sure where they got from the listing that it was considered Islamic. It only calls it an amulet from Egypt.
