February 2021: "Legal" section removed

I removed the section because, in an editing error, its content consisted solely of the earlier version of the opening sentence of the previous section. Please, anyone, feel free to create a new "Legal" section and add relevant content. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 15:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pershing Square Tontine Holdings Ltd.

Saw this in the Wall Street Journal (more info). It might be worth adding to the article. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 06:30, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Too US-centric

This article has been tagged as too US-centric, but I wonder if that's a fair criticism when the majority of global SPACs are listed in the US and therefore subject to US laws and perspective. ^[1] I won't be removing the tag for now but did want to consider this in the discussion.
