🚨🏫HARVARD UNIVERSITY PUT MILLIONS INTO A SPORTS GAMBLING STOCK… NOW IT’S DOWN $20,000,000🏫⚠️

The Ivy League's brightest minds just got schooled. Harvard's $50B endowment quietly scooped up 115,481 shares of Flutter Entertainment — FanDuel's parent company — somewhere around $300/share in the Summer of 2025. Fast forward to today? The stock is sitting near $100 after a brutal earnings report. That's roughly $20 MILLION in losses for one of the world's most prestigious universities.

The same institution that divested from to***co 35 years ago and fossil fuels four years ago is now bleeding money by investing in yet another predatory industry.

🚨THEY’RE COMING FOR THE LOOT BOX EMPIRE AND BRINGING THE HAMMER

New York just sued gaming giant Valve, calling its “loot boxes” exactly what they are: illegal gambling targeting kids. For years, video game companies have disguised slot machines as “surprise mechanics.” Now the walls are starting to crack.

Attorney General Letitia James says Valve’s system is “quintessential gambling” — with kids spinning digital wheels, chasing rare items, and being conditioned for addiction before they even hit high school.

But something is SHIFTING.

States are starting to challenge the industry.

This lawsuit is more than a headline — it’s a sign that the era of quietly exploiting children for gambling profits is being challenged.

The pressure is BUILDING.
Accountability is COMING.
This is just the BEGINNING OF SOMETHING LARGER THAN LIFE.

RISE UP HEROES! AND TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO REMOVE LOOT BOXES FROM EXISTENCE BEFORE MORE CHILDREN ARE HARMED BY PREDATORY GAMBLING

🚨MUST WATCH: Now on YouTube🚨

Our powerful national forum "Who Profits From Causing Gamblers to Die By Su***de? Examining Corporate and State Accountability for the Institution of Predatory Gambling" is now available on YouTube — and if you missed it live this past Friday, you need to watch this.

Our national forum brought together a remarkable group of leaders
to tackle the questions the gambling industry doesn't want asked:

➡️ Who is profiting from the deaths of gamblers and the massive harm spreading across the US?
➡️ What does the science actually say about gambling and su***de?
➡️ Why are corporations and states facing almost zero accountability for the deaths they cause?
➡️ And what can WE do to stop more Americans from dying because of predatory gambling?

The answers are eye-opening, urgent, and a call to action.

Then share it — with your networks, your elected officials, your local media. The more people who see this, the harder it becomes for those in power to look away.

🚨🚨 "IT'S LIKE HAVING A FENTANYL DEALER IN YOUR LIVING ROOM." - Les Bernal

That's not a metaphor. That's the reality of what the Predatory Gambling industry has built inside your phone. Les Bernal has been sounding the alarm for years.

Sports betting apps aren't the end goal. They're the bait. These companies use them as customer acquisition tools to hook young men — then funnel them straight into online casinos available 24/7, right on their phones. No barrier. No escape. More than a QUARTER of American adults now gamble online every day. The social fallout is devastating — addiction, bankruptcy, and su***de.

The first sign that Jack’s gambling might be something more concerning came in 2018. Mia was a special education teacher and graduate student, and Jack worked in sociology. He handled the couple’s finances. Their jobs weren’t especially lucrative, but it seemed to Mia that they struggled more than they should have.

Then, a winning bet gave Jack a big payout. But instead of directing the windfall toward living expenses, he used it for more gambling. “That was my first little red flag,” Mia says.

Here’s what clinicians—and everyone else—need to know about treating gambling disorder and protecting those most vulnerable.
