$TOON Reasons Andy Heyward will burn in hell.
1. Genius Brands (since changed to TOON so he could distance himself from the con) heavily marketed a non-Marvel superhero cartoon featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a "Stan Lee project".
2. This branding, alongside many articulated comparisons to Disney and Marvel, helped skyrocket Genius Brands' stock from 31 cents to over
$10 per share.
3. During this artificial peak, Heyward sold over 400,000 shares, profiting generously.
4. After investors realized the project lacked true Marvel backing, the stock crashed by 80% (and eventually 99.98%). This wiped out many who had put faith in the unqualified CEO pretending to care about content for children.
This guy is nothing but a liar. He is a disgrace to his father's legacy. People who associate with him put their moral characters in jeopardy and people who work with him are complicit in his crimes and deceit. To thrive the company needs to distance itself from him and his reputation.
