SPAC Mafia!
Congratulations to the winner!
The contest winner, who also wishes to remain anonymous (we hear ya), received a total of 180 votes out of 360 total, or exactly 50%. In order to tally the votes, we had to add together the results of the two polls (the one found in the sidebar and the one found at the bottom of posts). Oddly, the results for each were a little different and were as follows:
POLL AT BOTTOM OF POSTS
Ask me my “Special Purpose”: 48 votes (17.8%)
SPACs Illustrated: 12 votes (4.4%)
SPAC Mafia: 156 votes (57.8%)
SPAC Addict: 54 votes (20.0%)
POLL IN SIDEBAR
Ask me my “Special Purpose”: 48 votes (53.3%)
SPACs Illustrated: 6 votes (6.7%)
SPAC Mafia: 24 votes (26.7%)
SPAC Addict: 12 votes (13.3%)
