An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Ziffcorp was Artie Ziff's company, until it started losing money due to a combination of factors (namely the Dotcom bubble burst, although it also had quite a bit to do with Artie Ziff's fraudulent use of ZiffCorp's funds for his own personal use such as golden underpants and marble toothbrushes.). Artie Ziff retained possession of ZiffCorp's shareholder deed, although he later lost it to Homer Simpson in a poker game. He later used this downside to his advantage when the SEC went to arrest Artie Ziff for his fraudulent use of the company's funds and placed the blame on Homer Simpson instead.

abstract
  • Ziffcorp is a software company, formerly owned by Artie Ziff. The company's products include the Snore Converter and a device that turns "that horrible computer noise into music (also available in lyrics)". Ziffcorp lost $1 million due to Artie spending the company's budget on unnecessary items. "The bubble burst," as he put it. Artie was then wanted by the Security and Exchanges Commission for fraud. He was CEO and majority shareholder until he lost his shares to Homer in a poker game. As a result, Homer was taken before the U.S. Supreme Court in Artie's place to face trial over the company's losses.
