I never said I was defending. If a maturity is maturing in 3 months or less, its allowed to be in Cash on their financial statements, assuming that it is disclosed on what's included. The lack of a hard and fast time rule is what is sticking out to me, assuming Reddit is stating the footnote correctly. The 3 month rule is applicable to 99.999999% of companies that follow GAAP. I really don't have an interest in going through some random companies FS. Just stating what is standard.

T-bills always mature within a year. Treasury notes lasts from 2 - 5 years. Treasury bonds are longer.

T-Bills are liquid assets, but I would definitely pause if they don't have the standard 3 month rule that everyone else normally applies.

I had gotten my treasury investments mixed up. If a maturity is going to be matured in 3 months, then the t-bill can be considered as cash. Otherwise its a short-term investment.

T Bills are never considered as cash and any audit firm worth an ounce would have a friendly discussion with management and a disclosure to the public (if the issue isn't rectified).

Snoop Dog didn't work for someone as powerful that Griner did (in Russia at least). I have no doubt that Griner's employer allowed her to play by a different set of rules/laws without her knowledge.

Based on what I've read, the hope was that if she plead guilty, the process would play out faster in getter her home. Turned out true, but Russian was more than willing to keep her.

Iirc, he was an extremely small amount that would so its possible she just missed it. Also, she benefited from her employer being real powerful that gave her more leniency for some rules that she may not have known existed. If you don't know Russian, then it would be damn near impossible to know the regulations by the letter of the word. I would imagine that her having THC was previously allowed for flights in Russian because of her employer said so.

Edit: Some of the post is a bit speculative, but I don't think its farfetched and gives some benefit of the doubt when people are hellbent on running her over with a bus.

I was only referring to the Russian event, not her personal. Sorry if this caused confusion. I am not saying she's an angel or other people should have gone home first. All valid criticisms which I would agree on some level with.

I believe so, but I can't be 100% sure. My point is more that she failed to realize it was in her position at that time, therefore she didn't know she had committed a crime while committing a crime. That's assuming if you give the guilty plea water, which I would discount considering the lawyer and the court was compromised to some extent (the court was very compromised).

She didn't know/realize she had THC. She also wasn't on a domestic US flight. I said 'knowingly', and not suggesting she's innocent by any means, just that the punishment and the means of convictions is a bit suspicious.

She played for a rich guy that allowed her to get some privileges that were revoked without her knowledge. She was also unaware that she had cannabis in her suitcase as she was in a hurry. Russia's legal system is not setup to be fair...That's all I'm really saying. Regardless of if she's innocent or not, their legal system was not supportive of being a fair trial/outcome.

I'm not sure if AZ has legalized cannabis, but I'm guessing this is more of a way to get donations than the award itself. Also, WTF is the award for? MVP for existing?
