“We appreciate the interest that fans have expressed in our stock offering,” said The Heckler founder Brad Zibung. “We know our fan base is at least one-tenth as passionate for us as the Packers fan base is for them, so pricing our stock at 10 percent of the Packers stock price makes perfect sense.”
Foolish business and investment experts voiced their concerns about The Heckler’s stock offering.
“I went on the record as calling the Packers’ stock sale the biggest racket in sports, but then I saw this stupid web site trying to sell its visitors Post-It notes disguised as stock,” said Darren Rovell, a CNBC sports business reporter. “This is a bigger rip-off than those stupid PowerBalance braclets.”
Even disgraced investment adviser Bernie Madoff weighed in on the matter.
“Here I sit in jail, rotting away for stealing billions and someone else comes up with a legal way to scam willing people out of millions by selling them stock everyone knows is worthless,” said Madoff. “It’s the perfect crime!”
