X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

COBOL is a genuinely archaic programming language. But trying to do this in a rush is INSANE. And you can bet a huge, huge number of things are going to break. Even in very simple code bases, understanding the levels of dependencies built up over decades takes a huge amount of time.
