A Quote by Jared Isaacman
United Bank Card, I picked that name in 1999 because it sounded like an established financial institution, and I was 16 years old in my parents' basement, so I needed a name like that. The moment we started building our own hardware and software and had our point-of-sale capabilities by 2008, that was the last message we wanted to send.

That's why it seemed like a good idea for Trump to run for president in the first place.
Because on that watch list, they would be like, yeah, your name - they told me like, yeah, your name matches the name of a terrorist or someone that they're watching. I was just like, what terrorist is running around with a Hebrew first name and a Muslim - Arabic last - I'm like, who's that guy?

Hanoi Rocks was our baby and we were the core and we started the band.

It was like getting the name that I wanted without having to get rid of the Greek element.
