Jeff Bezos said, "Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they've created for other people." I found an attorney who would have made that list - one of the most fascinating people to come out of my Pritzker research so far. (paid) rockwoodnotes.com/the-most-fasci…

@xhjkfdui47873 After the first year has passed and founding member tier goes away I may offer an option for people to pool together ie four people split $800 sub ($200 each). Idea is eventually to publish a book, so people who can’t afford to support the research can afford to read the book.

Books, tools, apps - whatever I'm working on 5 or 30 years from now. The paid subscription is an upfront investment. I hope lifetime access to future work makes it worth it for the people who supported it early. 12 days until the lifetime access perk goes away.

Approaching 1 year since launching Rockwood Notes. Thank you to everyone who's supported this project so far. A lot of trial, error, and info gathering behind the scenes — but I'm getting into a rhythm. Rockwood Notes started as a subscriber-funded deep dive into the Pritzkers.

It was pointed out to me that the attorney who argued Dirks case in front of the Supreme Court in 1983 was future billionaire David Bonderman. Bonderman also was the bankruptcy attorney for Braniff. Here’s a transcript of Dirks v SEC, Bonderman on behalf of Dirks: supremecourt.gov/pdfs/transcrip…

One of the largest frauds of its time — and the first major computer fraud. Out of which came a company that compounded about 20% for 23 years. Jay Pritzker bought 9% in 1977. I still don’t know when he sold. Free to read. rockwoodnotes.com/darling-fraud-…

$PEP tastes better than $KO. It’s been known for ~50yrs. Yet Coke is 2x+ time market share of Pepsi (specific label, not incl. other brands, where Coca-Cola Co is altogether 2.5x+ market share).

@xbtsnow There’s an early deal Jay tried to do in Mexico I’m trying to pin down. But, generally, some people have mentioned there were others using a similar playbook as the Pritzkers. I don’t think they were the only ones, but I don’t know much about the other people.

@RockwoodNotes In a way I think Carlos Slim (richest South American/Former richest man in the world) probably learned a lot from them, when he started in the 60s he used to buy struggling companies to then fix them up (an early version of what PE became)

Ever since moving from Substack to Ghost, engagement and signups have dwindled. It’s either my writing, or Substack’s network effects are just that good. So, I will be dual-posting free articles on Substack. Today’s post: rockwoodnotes.substack.com/p/darling-frau… Shares, restacks etc are appreciated. Note: Primary site is still on Ghost (find in the post below). Preferably people just go there. It will remain the only home for the Pritzker Project premium research. You’ll also find there a patron membership if you want to help support research and free content for $10/mo.
