Here are some of the most popular posts from past few days:
I’m intrigued by the Kerr move because I know for a fact he was censored on a Marriott piece six months or so ago, and he stopped writing for TPG over it. Obviously, a lot can change in half a year but would be interesting to see how that was handled.
Kerr will not have freedom to write as is. He explicitly stated he needed health insurance for his family, so he sadly sold out.
I want to remain anonymous, but I sold a project to Red Ventures, i.e, Bankrate and was asked to stay on for a few years as an editor as part of my buyout. This was years ago. Well, the first day, I was given a laundry list long of what I could and couldn’t write. Let’s just say I ran as fast as I could after my time was up. I can bet you 110% it’s the same for Kerr. Just look at that Marriott fiasco. Sad!
That’s not the case at all for me.
“upwards of 1.1 personal identification numbers” — sound pretty serious…
If TPG threw a bunch of money at me I’d shill CC’s and go to their douchey award show. Dude’s got 2 kids & a wife, hope he got a big payday.
Please don’t join TPG either. We need you here Doc!
Use Amex? One of the best Phishing attacks I’ve seen. Even the redirect page looks like an actual American Express login portal webpage other than the webpage address.

Richard should start by revisiting the Marriott review at TPG
Seriously. And he needs to re-visit the Wells Fargo posts.
That ain’t gonna happen. Just sayin.
I know, but one can dream.
