This article has a point to make, but the framing of the title is extremely misleading. The $5B figure is total revenue, and was framed as a not less than figure. The $19B figure was annualized revenue run rate. A figure that has grown rapidly month over month. These discrepancies are described clearly in the text of the article.


His point looks still correct (the total revenue reported to the public is 34% higher than the one in the affidavit) but the title is definitely clickbait.

I guess the "5b vs 6.67b" pushes view counters less than "5b vs 19b" ...
