After reading this post by [u/RubinoffButtChug69](https://www.reddit.com/user/RubinoffButtChug69/):

<https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetbetsnew/comments/lflhz4/fintel_altered_short_volume_data_for_gme/>
|
||||
|
||||
I sent an email to FINTEL asking why the Short data had been altered by 50% for GME & AMC for the past 10 trading days.
|
||||
|
||||
This was the response:

Seriously?!? The reporting agency for the largest financial trading system in the world made a boo-boo which goes back an entire fucking year!?!? (2020 really was shit, wasn't it?)
|
||||
|
||||
If the programming error existed for 72 hours from Friday to Saturday, why was data for the past 10 trading days (and, mebbe, the whole year) impacted?
|
||||
|
||||
This is the organization that is responsible for reporting ACCURATE data that BILLION dollar decisions are based on. They are either lying or incompetent.
|
||||
|
||||
SEC I know you are watching us on here. WTF is going on?!?

In response to the above, I sent this email on Feb 9:

||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/eo6ww5gxssh61.jpg?width=1268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f59f8221c638e3b867a053410559d256f1b15378)

Finally, even though I received my other responses within a matter of hours, this is the response I received on Feb 15:
|
||||
|

[](https://preview.redd.it/warsdrfttsh61.jpg?width=1271&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c5cd1effb216197cc9bc2731e5d1140bfe2d97f)

|

Response #3
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, none of the questions were addressed. The response was completely blank. They had simply changed the status of my inquiry to "Resolved". I clicked on the "View Request" link and, through the FINTEL site, asked them to respond to the questions. I received the following at 10:39 pm on Feb 15:
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
Response #4
|
||||
|
||||
There are several things about this response that I find interesting:
|
||||
|
||||
1. They claim they responded to my earlier questions "in the spirit of being transparent" yet are now refusing to continue to be transparent and answer any questions.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The openly admit that they are fully aware of the posting activity here on /GME. This begs the question: Why? Why on earth would FINTEL be concerned about a bunch of delusional GameStop bagholders spouting conspiracy theories about intentionally altered short data and manipulated stock markets? Unless....
|
||||
|
||||
3. They claim they will not be taking anymore time from "legitimate tickets" thus implying that my questions are illegitimate. I can't help but wonder if they would say the same thing to Congress?
|
||||
|
||||
4. Wilton Risenhoover (the founder of FINTEL) was the responder to my first two emails. These responses come from an "Aqua R". I am not sure who he is, perhaps a lawyer? Again, I can't help but wonder why my old buddy Wilton didn't answer.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Aqua R refers to Mr. Risenhoover as "The Founder". This just made me laugh. "The Founder"? And they say *we* are like a cult!
|
||||
|
||||
I plan to resubmit my questions and point out that I still do need help with "actual use of [their] site". After all they claim to offer "Institutional Grade Research Tools" to help you "Dominate the Financial Markets" with "more accurate data" for "better decisions". Yet, I am still not sure what numbers I can rely on. They discovered a "programming error". What if there are other errors in the data that have yet to be discovered? I probably won't get a response since they seem to be circling the wagons, but I can try.
|
||||
|
||||
Any ideas for additional questions are welcome. Or, please feel free to send them questions of your own. They can be reached at <support@fintelio.atlassian.net>.
