I literally can't parse the semantics of this headline



FanDuel founders = The founders of FanDuel

To receive no cash = will not receive any money

From sale to = as a result of the sale of (FanDuel)

PaddyPower Betfair = to the company Betfair, which itself is owned by PaddyPower

The founders of FanDuel will not receive any money as a result of the sale of FanDuel to the company Betfair, which itself is owned by PaddyPower.


I figured it out, I was just making a lighthearted joke


I'm another victim of Poe's law.


I think I'm the victim, given how many downvotes I'm getting...


As the writer of the headline, you get a pity upvote from me.


Y'all need to chill
