A little searching finds only one company that really fits the bill. Costco has a market cap of $433B and had a reported $14.8B cash on hand as of May 11. That's an interesting possibility that I wouldn't have guessed. Costco is less evil than most big corporations, so that's a little hopeful if I got it right.

Oracle comes close with a market cap of $583B. That's indeed over $400B, but that would make the description a bit weird. In any case, Oracle makes more sense from a business angle. Unfortunately, they are near the top of the evil scale.

Calling it here, Costco is going to use the genetic information to create the perfect hot dog.

If it costs $1.51 I'm gonna flip shit.

Costco already creates the perfect hotdog.

I say they should invest in bringing back the Polish dog. That was fucking delicious.

It’s almost certainly Oracle but there’s a slight possibility this is correct

Shit, Oracle was down in the low $400B range in May. Apparently being evil pays well in the current administration.
