Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) have been heavily involved in the baseball Biogenesis scandal that this week resulted in 13 suspensions to go along with the rest-of-the-season ban for Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun.
The Florida lab that apparently supplied various performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to a number of athletes has been under heavy fire and legal scrutiny, and now just an affiliation with the company has brought down the curtain on 14 players’ seasons.
Only one, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, is able to appeal his ban, which he has done with arbitrator Frederic Horowitz.
Ah, the Joys of Being Social with Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)!
The story goes that the players who have been swept up in the Biogenesis scandal were nailed by some damning circumstantial evidence since there was no record of any of the players failing any drug tests for known PEDs. Ronald Blum of the Associated Press reported that an “electronic trail” of various Facebook posts and BlackBerry Messenger chat transcripts were followed and traced back to these players and their involvement with the Biogenesis lab, which had apparently engineered some PEDs that could not be detected by current testing methods adopted by Major League Baseball.
Commissioner Bud Selig was able to provide this evidence to each of the players and their representatives, and was able to convince 12 of them to accept 50-game suspensions without the possibility of appeal. Braun could have appealed but decided to take his suspension now and end his 2013 season since the Brewers are having to take to hard liquor to finish this dreadful season.
Rodriguez, on the other hand, has appealed his 211-game suspension, and will continue playing until his appeal is decided upon, which may not come until after this season is over. The Yankees, somehow, are still in some kind of playoff chase at this point, which likely explains why Rodriguez is appealing. It makes more sense for him than for Braun.
As these are their own form of legal proceedings, we do not know what Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) posts or BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) Messenger chat messages tipped off the MLB investigators to the connection with Biogenesis, but apparently there were enough dots to connect that MLB had several people working full-time on this investigation, finding connections in social media with the lab and the players and tracing back histories and comments – perhaps even phrases or keywords – to track the information so that MLB could make its case to the players.
The Genesis of Biogenesis
This “electronic trail” that was generated through Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) messages and posts certainly opened up a new avenue to catch cheaters, according to Daivd Prouty, chief counsel for the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), the players’ union. “It both complicates things and adds a layer of proof that certainly wasn’t available many years ago.”
Players like Jhonny Peralta and others were drawn into the budding scandal when the Miami New Times alternative newspaper wrote an expose about Biogenesis and its connections to prominent professional athletes and PEDs. The story broke in January, and it didn’t take long before MLB started snooping around.
And without any positive drug tests on record – Braun had one positive test in 2012 overturned on a technicality – the league had to come up with more unconventional means to gather “positive” results from the players who were implicated. Maybe MLB took a chance that these players were ego-centric enough to tout their performance, at the same time willing to forward word-of-mouth guidance to friends and teammates in the game for ways to improve their future contracts by jacking up better stats.
Whatever it was, being social just cost these players the rest of this season. And for some of them, perhaps theire careers. Should Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) CEOs Mark Zuckerberg and Thorsten Heins be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for the contributions of their companies to the integrity of baseball?
While there may be a case, the roles these companies played can certainly not be ignored by fund managers invested in these companies, like Leon Cooperman and Jim Simons. But for those players who really don’t quite understand the power of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), allow Ellen DeGeneres to provide evidence in the video clip below.
Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!
AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.
Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.
Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:
Where will all of that energy come from?
AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.
Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:
“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”
Elon Musk was even more blunt:
“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”
As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.
And that’s where the real opportunity lies…
One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.
As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.
The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom
It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.
Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.
And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.
But that’s not all…
As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.
AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.
While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.
AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.
And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.
This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.
Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.
While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…
This company is completely debt-free.
In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.
It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.
And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…
The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out
This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.
They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.
Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.
And that’s for a business tied to:
The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power
You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.
This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.
It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.
