High-quality emeralds can range from $500 to over $5,000 per carat for the very finest stones. Let's assume the average of this range --> 2250 $/Karat:

2250 [$/Karat] * 7252 [Karat] = $16,317,000

(Just to get a feeling for it's potential worth)

I have legal expenses insurance, which covers all costs in the event of legal proceedings. Most people have that here in Germany, isn't it the same elsewhere?

You are correct, but I can't give you an answer why.

Could you elaborate on that for someone who has no clue about stock market stuff?

Not the answer you are looking for, but I use Harmonic to browse Hacker News on Android, in case the posts don't resume.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there a fat industry which could have lobbied against the sugar industry?

The German word for zipper is literally "tear/rip fastener" (Reißverschluss)

What does poisoning DNS queries mean?

Yeah, I feel sorry for the people who are now losing their jobs over something like this as well as my personal hopes for some of the franchises.

Und hier der link :)

I can't give you an answer to the legality question, but some additional information I heard in a podcast: The acquisitions came at a time when money was cheap and people were playing a lot more video games because of the pandemic. Unfortunately, they miscalculated because money is now much more expensive again and the gaming industry has not been able to retain these players across the board. Only 4 games that have come out since then have brought in much more than the production costs, which then had to finance the remaining ~15 (all from my memory, but it should be in the order of magnitude). That didn't work out and so now cuts have to be made to avoid burning even more money.

If you understand German, I can send you a link to the podcast, if you're interested.
