Vultures everywhere I am confident short sellers can identify to this piece of sad news:
“ As distraught residents of Maui cope in the wake of the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than 100 years, they’re now being plagued by unscrupulous investors and realtors looking to buy up their scorched land.
In a now-viral TikTok video on the Lahaina Fire Updates account, a Hawaii woman has lashed out at the “pilau hewa s—” — loosely translated from Hawaiian to “rotten; wrongdoing” — that has occurred since the devastating blaze swept through western Maui last week, destroying the historic resort town of Lahaina and taking over 100 lives and counting.
“How dare you do that to our community right now,” she said. “I am so frustrated, hearing since yesterday that multiple families that I know personally were reached out [to] and offered money from investors and realtors. Shame on you.”
