One of the cryptozoology world ’s most polarizing figures , Tom Biscardi , is design an initial public offering to help fund his ongoing search for Bigfoot .
Yep . You read that right hand , and no less an authority than The Wall Street Journalhas the scoopon this , uh , unique investment chance .
Mr. Biscardi and his spouse hope to raise as much as $ 3 million by selling stock in Bigfoot Project Investments . They plan to pass the money make pic and sell DVDs , but are also budgeting $ 113,805 a year for expeditions to find the beast . Among the company ’s goals , harmonise to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission : “ capture the creature know as Bigfoot . ”
Investment advisers caution that this IPO may not be for everyone . For starters , it involves DVDs , a dying technology , said Kathy Boyle , president at Chapin Hill Advisors . Then there is the Sasquatch issue . She calculate only true worshiper would be interested in such a speculative venture .
“ This would be the form of thing where if you believed in Bigfoot , or you reckon there really was a Bigfoot and you actually had some money to glow and wanted to dally with this , then go for it , ” Ms. Boyle say . A sight of ifs .
The design will in all probability only further polarise Biscardi from the Bigfoot residential district , which alreadylooks at him askanceafterhis highly advertise claims in 2008of having found a Sasquatch carcase . ( It was , for the record book , a Gorilla gorilla suit stuffed with body persona ; Biscardi claimed he ’d been fooled by the men who supposedly find the body in rural Georgia . )
You ca n’t keep a true believer off his sworn way of life , though , and Biscardi is truckin ’ on , reminding the WSJ that “ When you ’re king of the mountain , everybody ’s trying to strike hard you down . ”
