Yeah the more I learn about pretty much any company the more it seems like they’re pretty much all arseholes one way or another :(

If they are publicly owned the probability goes to 100% that they're shitty. If they're privately owned theres still a good chance.

Damn, EK is fucked. All CEOs Are Bastards

It looks like to me that its set up purposefully to obfuscate its structure. I'd also assume the reason for the loan for 15% of shares was so the parent essentially isn't really just a sole owner to protect them from liability.

I have no idea what EK is, but I keep seeing it referenced in YT videos I'm not gonna watch. Can someone summarize?

They make water blocks

EKWB is a consumer level water cooling company. water cooling is used to cool down high performance processors sligtly better than traditional heatsinks and offer an aesthetic alternative to it.

tldr video, conpany mismanagement leads company into perpetual debt and ruin.
