They're blaming @Computershare. She said it takes too long to get confirmation of DRSd shares, too long for shares to leave Computershare to get sent there for people to sell, and they don't get their monthly reconciliation reports fast enough
@BossBlunts1 - The Butcher of Wall Street Marcel Kalinovic
DRS is trash as is Computershare. Those shares are held by cede and Co which can be lent out at their discretion regardless of what Computershare claims is happening in their brokerage. Take a look at Gamestop cost to borrow its around 10% with 21% short interest. In contrast look at AMC with +1000% cost to borrow at 23.8% short interest. DRS is a farce used to find easy to borrow share locates held on cede and Co books which is owned by the DTCC. THE DTC can do whatever they please with those shares. Too many people bought into the superstonk hype and didn't do their own due diligence. Fuck what Computershare says, go look into cede and Co. I have and I'll NEVER DRS my shares
@Hipsomhaps - Onomatopoetikon
If you check how many GME shares are held in ETF’s and go check how many AMC shares are held by ETF’s - it paints a picture.. ETF arbitrage on GME is MASSIVE money, since it is cheap AF to short and someone been pushin options as FUD. GME is on a leash - by ETF’s
@anon58007979614 - anon
I find the average sentiment of $GME investors deeply disappointing. While being perfectly happy to mock other meme investors for being irrational, the unwillingness to engage in a rational conversation about what is known and what is not when it comes to GME follows a similar logical pattern used by those being mocked. There is zero evidence DRS has done anything to help the price, nor is there evidence it will squeeze shorts (and let’s be honest that is what most are here for). Meanwhile we know for a fact options caused the event in jan2021 and was the reason the buy had to be shut off, yet everyone is scared to use them. Almost everyone i have engaged with does not understand how markets move, yet believes something with zero evidence will magically result in what they desire. They are missing the point of DRS, and are incorrectly scared to participate in the options market. I’d like for the #GME / #GameStop investor community to consider that they have converged on the wrong strategy to achieve their goals, and shift back to a rational assessment of the situation, rather than relying on or expecting something fundamentally unprovable to achieve their goals. I understand this is controversial to say to the community and many will choose to block me as they feel assaulted by my words, but given the DRS mania that reached popularity since last october i feel obligated to chime in and reignite a rational discussion about how price action actually evolves in the stock market. Saying the price is fake, manipulation, etc is a cop out, and a way of shirking the responsibility to understand what you are doing to achieve your goals. While GameStop balance sheet will improve and has been, you cannot linearly extrapolate the success to date moving forward, we are in a different monetary regime. Yes Cohen has done a good job so far, and this will likely cause institutions to buy it eventually, but you cannot claim #DRS has any effect other than reducing liquidity and counterparty risk. You should not rely on stories of hidden shorts, a lot can change in 3 years and everyone seems wholly convinced nothing has changed. Superstonk, like all subreddits, is a hive mind, and if the influential nodes in a network become convinced that something false is true and propagate that, the entire network devolves into irrationality. And if they simultaneously silence the ability to fact check, or cancel information at odds with the network consensus you get stuck in a fixed point of opinion which is not guaranteed to be optimal, let alone correct. I would like to make the claim that DRS has been sufficiently done, and that we should use the illiquidity it has afforded the stock to our advantage, by forcing market makers to buy through hedging mechanisms. To be clear, I want the community to be open to discussion about this, and fully expect it to be rejected by nonsense or emotional claims, but i feel it is worth bringing up to try to break the GME hyper-agent out of its irrational fixed point. If you are truly gamers, you need to play the actual game to win, not opt out of it. I will tag a few people here who i perceive to be influential in the hopes they help to move the conversation forward: @Cousin_Swen @VonZipperFace @ConwayYen @peruvian_bull @PlatnumSparkles @itswooch Below i will include a simplified toy model that (hopefully clearly) describes how market maker hedging works through the options market, and how this works in real life through the order book.
@ConwayYen - Conway
DRS has been one of the most egregious and malicious psyops I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. It eliminated shareholders' ability and right to use their own assets to generate income for themselves while simultaneously providing a stabilizing hedging environment, the lack of which stocks such as $GME still suffer from to this day. This is a major reason why the stock is perpetually in bearish gamma squeezes, even now, despite a +7.58% day (hedging heatmap is still gamma squeeze orientation, even if dealer net delta/gamma is now positive). Having been invested in TSLA since mid-2019, prior to GME, I can tell you that I did make quite a nice amount of profit from TSLA but I never once heard anything about the need to directly register my TSLA shares. The fact that it was pumped so fervently for GME specifically was a giant red flag for me, and should have been for most other people as well, yet here we are. Reddit in general has done a lot of harm to the retail investors that could least afford to suffer the consequences of the mis- and disinformation spread on social media, whether it was done by bad actors or by ill-informed but passionate retail investors that didn't know any better. This is why I now stress a data-driven, quantitative approach, because the math cuts through all the bullshit and narratives that people may try to invent. Specifically, Reddit baited a lot of retail into yoloing options when times were good (2021 and earlier), lost them a lot of money when times stopped being so good (most of 2022) and now certain communities have such a strong aversion to options, they don't even seem to monitor options activity anymore to see how that activity may be affecting their long shares portfolios. For example, yesterday saw an unusual flood of Jan 2024 10P's that I noticed immediately, but chose to stay quiet on to see if anybody else would notice. To my predictable disappointment, I didn't see anybody say anything — not even the dedicated communities that supposedly stay vigilant and monitor this sort of thing. 1000 puts at the mid? Hundreds more at the bid? What's going on? Thousands in volume, isolated at that strike and expiry? That's unusual activity! It should warrant some investigation and discussion, no? This morning, CBOE updates the options chain and yesterday's activity shows up as a ton of new open interest. That's curious! If they're dealer long puts (they were) then it should be extreme bullish activity today (it did!) These opportunities are rare, so I like to capitalize on them whenever possible. Today, because of the way things worked out, my short puts are obviously green, my long calls are up like 80% or so, and even my covered calls are green because of the IV crush. Not trying to brag, I'm just saying that opportunities exist for those that haven't been beaten into a state of complacency. So I agree with anon. I too am disturbed.

A little $GME community history, 2 years ago renowned researcher and interdimensional fairy cat @Dr_Gingerballs told the community the exact trajectory for DRS over the next several years based on community engagement metrics. He was banned for his efforts. Today on the the day of Q3 earnings watching "apes" blame DTCC fraud, Crime, Kenny, The SEC, etc.. for the flat DRS numbers I would like to say, he told you so... There was a time when the GME community sought knowledge and understanding. The people who gave that freely where shunned and ostracized in favor of mantras like "so I DRS'd more". Wrapped in the warm blanket of ignorance, you bought this on yourselves. Here is his final post on the subject it has way too many upvotes as far as I can tell. https://www.reddit.com/r/PickleFinancial/comments/zgn3dl/dear_superstonk_i_told_you_so/
@RSKAGY - Ryan Ξ Kagy 🦇🔊
It's official. They are not allowing GameStop to report the true DRS share count. For 4 straight quarters, the DRS numbers have maxed out, not increased at all, after going from 0 to 80 million in the first year. But we all know for a fact that as the share price has dropped, registering shares has become cheaper and easier than ever before. This is clear as day now if you look at the chart of shares outstanding. What's that unnatural leveling off and flattening about? That doesn't happen in organic markets. The trend lines were all heading up at the same time, then suddenly we hit a maximum of allowable reportable shares in order to cover up the obvious naked shorting that has occurred. In July of 22 the language changed on the earnings report to make it clear that reported numbers by the DTCC were now "approximate", coinciding with the fraud being perpetrated beginning that month. The fraud is in broad daylight now for all to see. Audit the DTCC.
@lawsondt - Lawsondt
@Cancelcloco @myplayprofile Great clip! Hope you’ll bring up the elephant in the room in your upcoming videos, which is the absurdly high volume on DRS record dates. Plan shares are not DRS. Terminate DirectStock and find out. https://t.co/1LGgGZ6h6h
@Cancelcloco - Cancelthisclothingcompany
Did you know that every share of every stock is actually held by a private company called DTCC? And it turns out that company was at the heart of what happened and is still going on with GME. Conflicts of interest and SROs everywhere. Probably nothing… 🤔 https://t.co/oh3cqZM2Ey

Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant Throughout this saga, there have been many bad actors and they are still among us. They continue to hold positions of authority, on manufactured credibility, and propped up reputation. These bad actors continue to rub shoulders with respected community members and some knowingly participate, while others turn a blind eye. Now, I have tried to avoid this, but I see that without addressing it then this community cannot unite. I only offer supporting evidence from my discoveries. Remember, you chose to continue and pursue the truth so I will deliver. However, I will say one thing: it will bring peace of mind for many to see where certain allegiance is placed. To start, Reddit is a swamp that must be drained. The Humiliation brought on by Jeffrey Epstein, convicted pedophile, and his list of pedophiles which names many prominent figures is at the center of what's wrong with the world today. Epstein is directly related to the stock market and explains why your favorite stock has been naked shorted into a cellar box. (This will make sense in a moment) For those out of the loop, Epstein was an intelligence agent working for Israel's MOSSAD (with direct ties to CIA) and he ran blackmail operations on the world' elites, royalty, celebrities, presidents, and Congress, involving kidnapped children for sex trafficking. This is all public information now. Ghislaine Maxwell was Epstein's handler and she was the real one pulling the strings. She learned from her father, Robert Maxwell, who ran a media empire and was a super-spy for MOSSAD. In a detailed post, it was discovered that Ghislaine Maxwell ran an account on Reddit where she controlled a majority of all popular sub-Reddits under the moniker u/MaxwellHill. She was also the first user in Reddit history to reach 1 million karma and not by accident. Here's the sauce: https://x.com/SamParkerSenate/status/1742933840585502810?s=20 This explains for the popular GameStop forum r/Superstonk, the moderators like Platnum Sparkles, and Satori bot that collects information about unsuspecting investors, due diligence, and market sentiment. The data collected is then sent to the shorting hedge funds to anticipate what retail investors will do, on any given day, and at any time. The early moderators of Superstonk let slip that they were involved in some intelligence circles, which now makes sense (see the Highlight post on my X profile). Superstonk is a honeypot and Ryan Cohen has illustrated that in http://Teddy.com books. In GMERICA part 6, I revealed how Fidelity shorted GameStop and knew exactly when to turn it off. Strange, right? They always know when to short your stock, because retail investors provide the information via honey pot. And do you recall the endless stock option posts that would pump before each hype date? I used to defend stock options and even played some of those until I figured it out myself, but no more. They pump, monitor Reddit, then rug pull and generate liquidity to keep shorting. What makes it worse is when retail investors do not direct register shares, because every buy order for a share that is placed through a broker generates a phantom share, or commonly known as a synthetic share. These synthetic shares are estimated to be in the billions for $GME and $BBBYQ, and the process enables failure-to-deliver shares, continuous net settlement can-kicking, and merciless naked shorting. Their goal is to never close their short position, and to drive a company into bankruptcy thus cellar box. Basically, retail is helping short its own investment unless they enter the Direct Registration System with Book-Entry form (learn http://whyDRS.org). That is a fact, and why the SEC has officially confirmed shares held at brokerage are in street name which basically means you don't actually own your shares until you DRS. At some point, you must have wondered, if they were shorting your beloved stock and making profit then where was the money going? It's easy, just follow the money. Or look at it this way, where do hedge funds get their money? Last I recall, Michael Jordan was forced to sell his stake in Charlotte Hornets basketball team because Gabe Plotkin, using Jordan's money, mismanaged it trying to short GameStop with $7 Billion in total losses. And how about all those tracked flights that Ken Griffin took to the lands of sovereign wealth and oligarchs? Celebrities, politicians, billionaires, sovereign wealth funds, and Epstein. It is all connected to GameStop, but more specifically, shorting companies into a cellar box. Now the tides have turned with Bed Bath & Beyond, the ultimate anti-cellar boxing and reverse uno squeeze play. In part 6, I showed evidence of a mounting RICO case that is being backed by the Department of Justice. In a RICO case, anyone found guilty, including co-conspirators like shills will forfeit their shares and face the crime. Talking about shills, there was a fake DD writer named Neelay Das that rose to prominence on r/BBBY and is currently attempting to stall Bed Bath & Beyond from emerging out of chapter 11 courts. What's interesting about Neelay Das is that he worked for Aricent/Altran which merged with Capgemini, a member of World Economic Forum or WEF, the same folks that said you'll own nothing and be happy. That information about Neelay Das is available from his public profile on LinkedIn (although he might scrub it after this). Time and again, these fake DD writers and shill agents have worked ruthlessly across Reddit in all major stock forums that Ryan Cohen has invested into by controlling narrative, shaping public opinions, and turning the community against each other. Needless to say, they even attempted to recruit me, and on more than one occasion. Last time was through Dr Eyeball, the current moderator of r/BBBY, a shill infested swamp for Bed Bath & Beyond discussion. Dr Eyeball made a power move to control all Bed Bath & Beyond sub-Reddits, because he is motivated to gather data to report back to his shorting hedge fund friends on how to counter the Activist Affiliates. Neelay Das used parts from my due diligence in his court battle against Bed Bath & Beyond, and now it's logged in the court dockets. Dr Eyeball has coerced several Reddit users that were moderators of r/Teddy, r/Bobbystock, and many more to give up control to him. Dr Eyeball has been very deliberate about his desire to control, consolidate, and manipulate. This has led to the deletion of the popular BBBY sub-Reddit r/PPSeedsShow since the sub was a rogue forum board not under the direct control of a shill operative. Upon deleting r/PPSeedsShow they have invited ex-members to r/Teddy which is now under control of Dr Eyeball. Which begs the question: who supported the move to r/Teddy? That should reveal a lot, and Pulte knows, which means Ryan Cohen knows. Nothing is what it seems, initially. The Storm is coming. Are you buckled up? 🕳️….🐇

some tradfi bros like @ConwayYen disagree with a lot of what I say. since they are intelligent, their points are worth considering. but they are WRONG! Time for a thread on $GME, DRS, and the morality of markets. 🧵⚡️👇
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen As someone who went to college, got degrees in finance and economics, and went to work in corporate fintech I understand these people. What the Gamestop Apes say sounds ridiculous. We were taught that markets are efficient. Regulators are good.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen These facts were pounded in our heads so often that we developed rationalization mechanisms to explain why things happened. On the face, the GME phenomenon seems like a bunch of angry, uninformed retail investors who want to shake their fist at a system they do not understand.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen The truth is, the tradfi bros who speak like this do not understand $GME and were not there during the runup. What they understand is what they've heard in the media- what they were told. And they filter the world through their own biases that the market is "always right"
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen To them, the GME fiasco was an overly shorted company that got a bunch of retail attention, and the shorts covered, and now these investors are bitter and angry at the system and wished they had made more money. But this isn't the truth!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen In fact, the SEC themselves admitted as much in a report released in October 2021. The massive volatility and price swings in Gamestop in January was a result of retail buying, not of short covering. https://www.sec.gov/files/staff-report-equity-options-market-struction-conditions-early-2021.pdf
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen The SEC admits that this was retail, and perhaps other institutions, who wanted to squeeze some big whales who got caught with their pants down. See that last sentence- very telling!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen Whatever the reason, we remember in real time what was happening- as the stock price went up, a cacophony of media began to sound about the "stupidity" of retail and why this squeeze was never going to work
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen This psyop continued, to the point that Ortex who published short interest data CHANGED they way they calculated it, since many retail investors saw the 140% SI and aped in. https://www.reddit.com/r/FWFBThinkTank/comments/wbo3de/reminder_reported_short_interest_si_will_never/
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen But the 140% wasn't even the true number. some FINRA data feeds had the number above 220% https://t.co/8LAY9AXVF7
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen And as @Cancelcloco points out, even others had the SI at 313%! https://t.co/uwJ3GHrBEl
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco This begs the question- to what extent does shorting become abusive? Over 100% short interest means by definition that not every short has a locate, because by that logic you would would only be able to short the float once over and then run out of borrows.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco And this is the issue. @ConwayYen claims that "phantom or real it doesn't matter" because shares are fungible. This is illogical on its face. The entire point of buying a share in a company is that you believe you are getting a piece of ownership in it- https://t.co/gOdxs7vO1M
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco You believe in the fundamentals, and you want to see the company succeed. The company has a limited number of shares authorized, so if more and more market participants view the company as valuable and buy, then prices go up. Too bad, so sad for the shorts!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco Instead, imagine if Conway bought a share of Apple. Let's say Apple has 100 shares. But instead of buying a real share, he buys it from me. I am a new broker- PB Brokerage! I create a naked short, out of thin air, and sell it to you. Now, there are 101 shares out there
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco I provided you "liquidity" in the form of a new share that you wanted right away, but I also de facto diluted the share count of the company. With more shares trading, the stock price doesn't move. The company, which would have seen higher prices and could get the option to ...
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco raise equity now does not have that option. and the broker, me, gets to pocket the money! Pretty neat ain't it? So you pay money to buy a share, and the company doesn't benefit, and the stock doesn't go up, and therefore the fundamentals don't improve.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco Tradfi bros want to sacrifice everything on the altar of liquidity. Is liquidity really everything? ake the argument to the extreme- allow infinite share creation of every stock. allow infinite money to buy the stocks. would the prices be representative of anything?
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco clearly not! so why then, is everyone so focused on liquidity. why are FTDs allowed to such a large extent within our markets- again, by definition, a stock shorted over 100% means there are phantom shares out there? if markets are efficient, why do we need phantom shares?
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco There are countless examples- but another is Global Links, a Nevada based real estate company. An investor bought 111% of the float and moved the shares into his brokerage, cash account. 50 million shares traded the next two days. https://t.co/1PaxdjufZ3
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco this is one example of many - if you like, I can find dozens of companies that this has happened to. and the "derivative" argument is equally wrong. why should derivatives be allowed to trade if the underlying isn't even circulating?!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco Conway thinks I'm ragebaiting people. I see it the other way- there is a massive grift going on in the market, and I am calling it out. Along with others. Is there a crime that you would get angry about, @ConwayYen ? What would that be? https://t.co/CYhvSk8Zox
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
Some people say, look, DRS hasn't moved the price, GME has trended down! umm, that proves our point. that the market is fraudulent. we are removing real shares from the DTC, and buy pressure is still high, and yet prices trend down. they changed short interest calculation
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco ... for a reason! Finance PhDs like @lawsondt used to be on the side of @ConwayYen ... until he saw the Brazilian puts amounting to 70% of the float appear on bloomerg and then disappear a day later. they claimed it was a glitch https://t.co/dfUna0tSjr
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt markets exist to provide capital to companies to fuel innovation and economic growth. they are not ends in and of themselves. the entire point of them is utility for other things! perhaps you need to buy a house. maybe compound your money for college.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt hedgefunds should not be able to use derivatives to force outcomes on companies. Imagine if I went and took out an insurance policy on a tradfi bro's house. and then I paid an arsonist to burn it down. and collected the money. is that a free and fair market? No!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt But yet, when we talk about excessive naked shorting, the counterarguments abound for "liquidity", "operational efficiency", "derivatives" etc These are not ends in and of themselves. they are supposed to serve a purpose. and that purpose is forgotten.
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt The markets are fundamentally broken. $55 billion of ECP was waived over the course of the "sneeze". does that sound fair? why can't I get a margin exclusion when my trade goes the wrong way? https://t.co/LWlubhH0Rz
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt Rules for me, not for thee. since the damage caused by things like naked shorting and inflation is ephemeral and ubiquitous, it is hard for tradfi bros to grasp it. well, they only stole 1% of everyone's wealth this year, so I didn't really feel it!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt this is why they can keep this up for so long. if instead they came to your house and robbed you directly, you would think very differently!
@peruvian_bull - Peruvian Bull
@ConwayYen @Cancelcloco @lawsondt I do not pretend to know what happens if a stock is 100% DRSed. I do not pretend to know when shorts will close. I just know that the fundamentals for Gamestop look good, much better that the stock price, and I will continue hodlng! (//END).

As we are somewhere in zone 1, the exponential burden has not reached unbearable levels yet. However, if we were to enter zone 2, the exponential burden would become too significant not to disrupt the NSCC continuous net settlement process. Once we surpass the 60% mark, it could signal the endgame. *This plot assumes 1 billion shares in circulation. **The derivatives curve is the same regardless of the actual number of shares in circulation.

There’s no such thing as a “meme stock” If there was- retail trades wouldn’t go 90% to dark pools and three years of constant buying and DRSing would have made the price go up, not down. Shorts never closed. https://t.co/NE6KtX6IwH

Borrow fee jumps dramatically and rebate goes negative? Someone trying to offload a short position by enticing others to short $GME instead? https://t.co/W1bWDtSzDc

2024 #AMC #GME AND #TSLA same issues. isn't coincidence. this is a pattern. over 12 years worth of a pattern -being shown synthetic volume data by what is known as a lie. a lie by omittance. this is a violation of the oath of honesty and of fudiciary duty to clients. https://t.co/L4D3OG565C

$GME Absolutely has to do with settlement cycles. Yet another obvious comparison to 2020/2021 daily RSI here. Ridiculous that more people are not talking about this comparison to the past. https://t.co/647mtuTkUL

third day i checked in the $gme swap records that the script earlier will scrape, shows the exact same pattern. this was april 30, 2024. there are 114 transactions involving this basket being traded all at the same time, same second. INCLUDING VARYING PRICE AND NOTIONAL AMOUNTS. 💀 how tf can they execute 100 swaps at once , being the same swap , with variable pricing conditions? across weeks worth of data ? there are many indications right out in the open that all of the flaws in which Dr. David Ruder discussed appear to be directly affecting this company. this is post 3 about the 3rd busiest swap day in the records. all three happened to be the #berkshire / #gme / #amc / #visa / #mcdonalds total return basket swap. im regarded. and im tired of looking at this shit. makes me sad. i remember a wise friend told me once around the fire while we were sippin on some nice lightning, that one really should slow down trying to figure it all out in life, because the truth is, when you figure it all out , it simply isn't fun anymore... you want to know wtf these swaps are? re watch the big short. pencil and paper. write down EVERY instrument and institution and date. look it all up on yt while you make sammich's. all of it. in all honesty, i can work with that. if you know those simple parts, i can.

🚨 THEY DIDN’T JUST SHORT GAMESTOP. THEY COUNTERFEITED THE ENTIRE MARKET. This is the forensic breakdown Wall Street didn’t want you to see. Here’s how GameStop exposed the biggest financial cover-up of our time and why the system still hasn’t recovered. Like and repost before this vanishes. They don’t want this thread reaching the masses. Too much truth. Too much proof. Let the world see what they tried to bury. 📢🧾 $GME It’s time to lay it all out. Buckle up. This is the thread. 🧵👇
@MorgenHatton - MD
Start here: In Jan 2021, GameStop’s short interest hit 140% of the float. That’s not supposed to be possible. It means more shares were shorted than actually existed. This wasn’t a glitch.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Enter: Fails-to-Deliver (FTDs) When a seller fails to deliver shares after a sale, it’s recorded as an FTD. GME had millions of these daily during the squeeze. That’s not speculation. That’s official data proof of massive naked shorting.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Naked shorting = share counterfeiting. Selling shares without borrowing them and not delivering means you’re injecting fake supply into the market. GameStop stayed on the NYSE threshold list for 39 straight days. It should’ve triggered forced buy-ins. It didn’t. Why?
@MorgenHatton - MD
Because enforcement was suspended. Because the real squeeze hadn’t just begun it was working. Retail wasn’t selling. Price was exploding. Shorts were cornered. That’s when they pulled the plug.
@MorgenHatton - MD
On Jan 28, 2021, brokers like Robinhood disabled BUY orders for GameStop. You could sell, but you couldn’t buy. It killed the momentum. The price collapsed. FTDs vanished. The short sellers? They got out. Or so it seemed.
@MorgenHatton - MD
But the trades didn’t stop. They just moved to the shadows. Over 70% of GameStop trades shifted to dark pools and off-exchange venues. Internalized, fragmented, hidden. And those trades were led by the usual suspects: Citadel. Virtu. Jane Street.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Example: Citadel traded 252 million GME shares OTC in one quarter while holding only ~200,000 shares. They shorted supply into the market they themselves controlled. They were exempt from borrow rules. A license to print synthetic shares.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Post-squeeze, something strange happened: Reported short interest plummeted. FTDs dropped. But put option exposure exploded to the point that puts covered 300% of GME’s float. The short didn’t go away. It just moved to derivatives.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Here’s how they hid it: 🔹 Deep ITM calls 🔹 Married puts 🔹 Total return swaps 🔹 ETF shorting These instruments created synthetic shorts that don’t show up in public short interest reports. The system obscured its own shadow.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Meanwhile, retail fought back the only way it could: By registering shares directly. DRS removes shares from brokerages locking them from being lent or shorted. To date, over 76 million shares of GME have been DRS’d. That’s >25% of the float untouchable.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Still… 🔸 Short interest remains elevated 🔸 FTDs resurface cyclically 🔸 Reported ownership exceeds float 🔸 Short volume >50% daily Retail now holds. Shorts hide. Price discovery is choked out by synthetic supply.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Here's the breaking point: Imagine if every short had to cover. Every synthetic had to unwind. Every naked position had to buy real shares. The system would fracture. Brokers would default. Firms would collapse. Wall Street would burn 🔥
@MorgenHatton - MD
The regulators? The SEC knew. The DTCC knew. Congress held hearings. But no one forced buy-ins. No one halted the fraud. Instead, they fined Citadel $10,000. Token fines. No accountability.
@MorgenHatton - MD
What do we know? ✅ GME was shorted beyond float ✅ FTDs flooded the market ✅ Synthetic shares were created ✅ Price was suppressed ✅ Derivatives were used to hide exposure ✅ The buy button was removed when it mattered most That’s not a meme. That’s a cover-up.
@MorgenHatton - MD
This wasn’t just about GameStop. It’s a blueprint for how entire markets are manipulated: •Phantom shares •Dark pool rerouting •Payment-for-order-flow conflicts •Regulatory capture The mechanics of control laid bare.
@MorgenHatton - MD
The most dangerous part? It’s still happening. GameStop is the canary in the coal mine. If shorts are ever forced to reconcile If synthetic shares ever have to be delivered the entire system cracks open. They know it. We know it. Tick. Tock. 💥
@MorgenHatton - MD
So will it ever be forced to unwind? Surprisingly… maybe. Because 2025–2026 is a ticking time bomb for the entire market structure. Here’s why 👇
@MorgenHatton - MD
🚨 The Regulatory Reckoning Is Coming There are 3 massive changes on the horizon: 🔹 Rule 13f-2: Institutional short positions (even synthetic) must be disclosed Live by Q4 2025 🔹 CAT Amendments: Will expose market-maker exemptions and short manipulation Due late 2025 🔹 Reg SHO Overhaul Petition: Would mandate pre-borrows, kill naked shorting, and end the MM loophole expected by 2026 If these are enforced? The ghost shares will be cornered.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Imagine what happens when: •They can’t hide synthetic shorts in puts •Every FTD triggers a penalty •Market-makers lose their exemptions •Swaps and dark pool games are exposed •Real delivery is required… It won’t just break the dam. It’ll break the system.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Retail didn’t forget. They logged every FTD. DRS’d every share. Reverse-engineered every loophole. Because we were never just here for a squeeze. We were here for the receipts.
@MorgenHatton - MD
This wasn’t a glitch. It was a leak in the simulation. They sold shares they didn’t own. We bought them. Held them. Locked them away. Now? Every fake share is a ticking time bomb. 💣
@MorgenHatton - MD
🧾 LIKE & REPOST before this vanishes. They don’t want this truth getting out. Too much proof. Too much power. Let the world see what they tried to bury. #GME https://t.co/DNzHe9A0Co

@mib_jay @ryancohen @larryvc Five years. A mountain of data. Zero accountability. At this point, it’s not just inaction it’s institutional protection
@MorgenHatton - MD
@MilesVF_eth @ryancohen @larryvc Exactly. Tokenization puts every share on-chain with real-time ownership and settlement. No naked shorts, no FTDs, no hidden exposure. Once that system goes live, the fraud can’t hide.
@MorgenHatton - MD
@pemamethor @ryancohen @larryvc @SEC The SEC? At best overwhelmed. At worst complicit. They watched it happen. FTDs piled up. Synthetic shares flooded the market. And instead of enforcement, we got silence. The real oversight? Came from retail. Line by line. Share by share. Receipts in hand.
@MorgenHatton - MD
@qbikal @ryancohen @larryvc Always 🙏🏻❤️ We hold, we speak, we expose. Let’s finish the story right. #GME
@MorgenHatton - MD
@Nuts4Music @ryancohen @larryvc Appreciate that. The playbook hasn’t changed just the tools. $HOOD showed their hand in 2021 and anyone still shilling against $GME either wasn’t paying attention… or got paid not to.
@MorgenHatton - MD
Yes, the facilitation of this entire scheme relies on a network of regulatory loopholes, financial instruments and systemic opacity. Here's a breakdown of how they're doing it: 🧩 1. Market Maker Exemption Designated market makers (like Citadel) are allowed to short without a locate under the guise of providing liquidity. This allows them to: •Create synthetic shares on demand •Reset FTD clocks by “rolling” locates •Delay delivery without penalty It’s legal counterfeiting dressed up as “market function.” 📦 2. Fails-to-Deliver (FTDs) as a Settlement Strategy Instead of delivering shares, some participants intentionally fail to deliver using FTDs as a tool to synthetically satisfy settlement obligations. This: •Keeps supply artificially high •Suppresses price pressure •Avoids triggering margin calls or buy-ins And the SEC rarely enforces it unless it’s blatant. ⚖️ 3. Options Abuse & Deep ITM Calls By exercising deep in-the-money call options, market makers can create synthetic long positions without buying real shares. This: •Creates a façade of ownership •Avoids upward price impact •Buys time to manage exposure Used strategically, this suppresses visible demand. 🕳 4. Dark Pools & Off-Exchange Internalization Trades are routed off lit exchanges where price discovery is suppressed. Internalizers can: •Fill retail orders with internal inventory •Never expose real demand to the market •Delay price impact or absorb sell pressure Your buy never hits the real tape. 🔄 5. Swaps, ETFs & Derivatives for Synthetic Exposure They layer hidden exposure through: •Total return swaps •Leveraged ETFs •Basket trades These avoid disclosure rules and sidestep reporting requirements. The short doesn’t show up on official data but the pressure is real. 🛑 6. Regulatory Arbitrage & Rule Delays Rules like Rule 13f-2 and CAT were delayed for years, allowing firms to operate without scrutiny. Even now, full short reporting isn't due until Feb 2026. They've gamed the system longer than most retail has been invested. They’re not just shorting stocks. They’re weaponizing the entire market structure: •Exemptions •Synthetic trades •Off-exchange routing •Disclosure delays •Regulatory inaction The system isn’t broken. It was built this way.
