    The $20B difference is based on an accounting fraud. $50B vs $70B is like if GM would count the total of what buyers pay for cars ($70B) instead of their real revenue ($50B) of what their dealers pay them. Monumental fraudster BS came out overnight to resume the bubble frenzy though.

      What are you talking about? The 20 billion difference is based on a “leaked internal memo” that suggested annual revenue of 70 billion. And a memo to investors in September that they expect a 50 billion revenue. In short. It’s based on a leaked previous estimation compared to a more recent one.
