Peter Thiel
if I am not mistaken, he controls the company. For those sick of slick Vic, etc... Thiel cannot be ignored. This is the best thing to happen to Aphria in a longtime. Novartis and Budweiser are 200 billion dollar companies. This isn't HEXO and Molson...lol. TSX stock will most likely be converted to the NASDAQ and TLRY may grow into a 100 billion dollar company itself. I like the move and look forward to leadership being babysat.

Bud, How do you feel about Peter Thiel in general? If Peter Thiel were to double his current investment in Tilray, do you think it would have an influence?

ohhh a short attack on Peter Thiel by hiterburg. That would be nice to watch. Could you imagine picking up 50% cheapies now with AB InBev, Novartis and SweetWater. Get into ma bellie!

I have to wonder if he's the $100 m man. He would not have wanted this to come out better while backing TLRY. Negotiations between TLRY and aphria have been ongoing for a year and $100 M investment announced in last Jan. Maybe he was playing a long term game here with TLRY and knowing they needed APHA to be successful.

yeah if Thiel owns 77% of Tilray and Aphria owns 63%. That's 140%. Did Irwin buy Thiels position for $38/sh for $9/sh? Was Thiel going to bail like Buds explained and Irwin saw the opportunity and did the buyout so that someone else wouldn't beat him to it? Why would Thiel bail when things are starting to get good?
