Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

Artist in residence (@artyfarty75) reported@wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

Reaction Buffet (@reactionbuffet) reportedIf she has PayPal business account, they might be convinced into asking for a business name, number and address. They typically don't require it for a small business account (there might be a monetary window) but they can ask for that info. If she has personal only account, PayPal will not issue anything for CRA, and that's how she is evading declaring her $ gifts. It's crazy that her account has not been flagged BC she gets so much cash AND that she was collecting money in Syria

Sam Badawi (@Sam_Badawi) reportedThis is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

PeterPayFi (@PeterPayFi) reportedShe wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

Glenn 🇺🇲⚓️ (@gcanderson57) reported@OldGloryBank @johnrich Is there any sort of service you guys have or can create to help her. She's always used PayPal in the past, however I suspect like everything else now days her problem is being caused by an AI.

3ll3_Wood5 (@simbaha18) reported@ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

Creative Deduction (@CreativeDeduct) reportedElon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported@FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

Derek Trotter (@DelB0yTr0tter) reported@HoweyJohnn34169 Thank you for the feedback. I suggest considering the affiliate program which is the next release and will be launched imminently… three referrals brings the cost of membership down to zero and from there its 40% of every recurring monthly fee that Vivé receives from every referral paid directly via Payoneer (we chose them because PayPal is dying and doesn’t operate here but they offer exactly same services) and straight to your bank account from there… every referral can start referring as well (instantly) with a live membership All details are on the website and inside the platform under the Affiliates tab
