It closed at more than $130 million after spending $25 million in the initial investment, netting around $105-$110 million, or between 420%-460%.MindMed Shares Skyrocket: Jake, who previously interned at Volaris Capital Management invests with his uncle Scott, who is the co-founder and former chief medical officer of Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. MindMed shares rocketed 77.4% from the previous day's highs on Thursday after the Bed Bath & Beyond sale was disclosed.Read more: EXCLUSIVE: Food Wholesaler Talks Crazy Chicken And Beef Prices — 'Fresh Meat Arbitrage'The investor focus is now on MindMed, which was originally a privately owned company, Savant, co-founded Scott.The Freemans have built a 5.6% stake in the company and sent astrategic value enhancement planto MindMed, outlining the fund's interest in working \"hand-in-hand\" to cut the development time of MindMed's two original drugs and slash its annual cash-burn rate.Analyzing the letter, which the younger Freeman confirmed to Benzinga, FCM is focusing on MindMed's core drugs, cutting cash burn and terminating MindMed's at-the-money equity offering.“I’ve been in drug development since I was in high school,” Scott said in an Aug. 16 interview on the YouTube channel Psychedelic Invest.“About 13 years ago I partnered with Stephen Hurst and we founded a company called Savant.It was a private company working on drugs to treat addiction.”After MindMed bought Savant, where he was previously CMO, Scott became the company's first CMO. Heleft the organizationaround a year after he arrived, making him the first senior member of the team to do so.Benzinga asked the younger Freeman why Scott left the company; he said he could not divulge the reason for Freeman’s departure due to a non-disclosure agreement.“As a co-founder,” Scott said in the aforementioned interview. “I’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching, and one of the reasons why I want to go back is that I think there are things that I think need to be done differently.”In the letter to MindMed, the pair call for an overhaul of the company, including cutting 11 of its 22 employees; the elimination of more than $21.8 million in non-core expenditures; and half of its cash burn rate over time.It also calls for the immediate development of a proposal to approach the FDA to upgrade its MM-120 drug from a Phase 2 trial to a Phase 3 trial, which the Freemans said could bring the drug to market in four years rather than the expected seven to eight years.The enhancement plan calls for a 50% reduction in executive compensation as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9938494541,"gmtCreate":1662646282183,"gmtModify":1676537109223,"author":{"id":"4100050710964920","authorId":"4100050710964920","name":"Red ruby","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100050710964920","authorIdStr":"4100050710964920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Times are bad","listText":"Times are bad","text":"Times are bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938494541","repostId":"1185220979","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185220979","pubTimestamp":1662640970,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185220979?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-08 20:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Looks To Pull Brakes On Hiring To Trim Pandemic Induced Fluff","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185220979","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Amazon.com Inc chief Andy Jassy acknowledged slowing down the hiring rate citing pandemic-induced ov","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Amazon.com Inc</b> chief Andy Jassy acknowledged slowing down the hiring rate citing pandemic-induced overexpansion, the Wall Street Journal reports.</li><li>Amazon looks to scale back following a massive hiring spree to contain customer demand, primarily in its fulfillment networks.</li><li>Amazon reported slowing sales and the second quarter of net loss in Q2 as it faced continued weakness in its retail operations after a pandemic boom.</li><li>Jassy has been working on cutting back on the excesses of the company's breakneck expansion of its e-commerce operation during the pandemic since he succeeded Jeff Bezos.</li><li>Amazon attempted to shed some warehouse space by subletting it out and deferring the construction of new warehouses.

I did not expect in any way the stock going up so fast.”The Bed Bath & Beyond Investor's Plan: In a July 21letter to Bed Bath & Beyond, the younger Freeman outlined Freeman Capital’s plan for the realignment of the retailer, which consisted of two crucial legs: cutting debt and raising capital.Fast forward just four weeks later, coupled with a carefully orchestrated short squeeze by Reddit's WallStreetBets community known as the \"Apes,\" shares of Bed Bath rocketed to $28.60 at the highs on Tuesday — the same day Freeman Capital exited its entire stake in the company.Curiously, on the same day, GameStop Corp. Chairman Ryan Cohen, who sparked the Bed Bath & Beyond fanfare with the Apes, filed with the SEC saying he intended to sell as many as 9.45 million shares of the company beginning that day.The Freeman Family Fund's sale was well-timed.
