On the secondary market shares have only dropped 15-20% total since all these Uber scandals started. That still values Uber at $50-55 billion.

Seriously? That's pretty shocking to me. I wonder if the secondary market was already pricing in some of the information with insider knowledge. Or another theory, in the null-scandal world, maybe Uber would have been up 50% in the same time period based on other information.

I mean, even before this wave of scandals started, everyone already knew that Uber and Kalanick were sleazy as hell, so I suppose if you assume efficient markets it isn't that surprising that they priced it in already.

If you're an investor with access to a private equity market you can just look at the cap table and see the current asking price to determine the discount.

Where is Uber available on the secondary market? It's not available through either EquityZen or SharesPost.

Uber is available via collateralized equity markets like Equidate.

that's because you can't short the issue in the private secondary markets. if this was in the public markets, the hit would be significantly higher, and the short-squeeze would be happening.
