Ok... the first lesson of a Good BBC is to check the Charities...
Stevey has the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation and quotes that he has given out $625 Million across 3,032 Grants over the last 19 years... as per his website: <https://www.steveandalex.org/>
FIRST...
His fucking website...
In 2019... he spent $220,000 on the website
In 2018... he spent $42,113 on the website
In 2017... he spent $78,050 on the website
In 2016... he spent $62,400 on the website
So in a 4 year period... he spent $402,563 on his website???
Apes... I work in Digital Marketing... and believe me when I tell you this... his website did NOT cost $402,563!!
I mean sure... it's got some fancy animations, but it's a Wordpress site with a Pro Theme... That's it!
Oh... but maybe he's spending that amount on Marketing his website?
Nope... he's got a separate line item for that... Content... nope... hosting? He gets fuck all traffic so NOPE!
Now... I don't take this lightly...
You could say maybe he's spending on SEO... buying Backlinks... SOMETHING...
Here's his SEMrush report:

Fair enough... he's got a decent authority score... but he's not even running ads...
He gets 10k hits a month... and that only increased in the last year...

If he is paying $400k for these results... he is either GETTING RIPPED OFF by some SLICK sales Digital Marketer... or he's REALLY BAD at running a business...
Neither makes sense... SO>>> LIES!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marketing...
2019 - He spent 600k... BUT HE'S NOT RUNNING ADS?
You may say... maybe he did in 2019?
If he did... he'd have more than just Google Analytics tracking on his website so he can actually see the results of his $600k in marketing right?
Well if you know how to read HTML you can go in and verify that all he has is Analytics: view-source:<https://www.steveandalex.org/>
But ANYWAY... I suppose he can argue that he is using it for PR... not MARKETING... or some bullshit...
FUCK... I'm pissed off already...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awww... look at the little puppy in a Raincoat!!!
Are you hiding grom me??? Yes you are! Yes you Are!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, let's get into what we're here to get into...
In 2019... The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation received a total of $2,088 in donations
(FUCK... that $600k in Marketing went a LONG way didn't it!!>>>>???)
BUT...
They made $99,000,000 in DIVIDENDS...
(Fuck me... that's a lot!)
And they gave out $101 million in donations.
Now... the BEST dividend rate from stock in the market right now is Gilead Sciences at 4.12%...
So if his entire fund was in Gilead, that $99 million would mean his fund must be...

$2,402,912,621
But... his ACTUAL investment BOOK VALUE is $515,813,195 or Market Value of $693,523,715
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ok... Maybe he has preferred shares?
According to Forbes ([source](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettowens/2021/01/17/the-best-preferred-stocks-for-2021/?sh=7f50466c75d7)) in 2021 the highest yielding Preferred Shares are Jon Hancock Premium Dividend Fund... at 8.6%...
So MATH...
Would still put the fund requirement at $1,151,162,790...
I honestly don't know here Apes...
This seems suspect to me.
He's getting a 19% yield on DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST???

Any Finance Apes care to enlighten us?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahh... wait... Now I SEE!!!
He's invested his charity's money through Point72 Capital INTL II LTD!!!
How did I not think of that!

So he MUST be getting crazy returns for his clients then too right?
Hmmmm....
According to this article... [Source](https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1k9dx9x1pt8wx/Steve-Cohen-Pulled-Down-at-Least-1-3-Billion-in-2019)
Stevey in 2019 returned 14.9% for clients NET OF FEES...
But charges 2.85% Fees....
So... Lets see here...
[](https://preview.redd.it/7w7q0ct59tc71.gif?format=mp4&s=d79af2d19de1c0829a048c7afe9246f43908cb4c)
14.9% + 2.85% = 17.75%
But...
His charity generated 19.1% returns...
That's a 1.35% difference...
THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH... BUT IN THIS WORLD... IT'S A FUCK TON...
No accusations...
BUT IS STEVEY CUTTING A BIT OFF THE TOP OF HIS CLIENTS MONEY?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok PRETTY close to 100%...
But there's one more on this list that is going to get VERY HEATED...
But wait for it...
Cohen Veterans Network - $47,000,000 - HELPING VETS WITH PTSD X
And it's the BIGGEST donation???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I know you American's are VERY patriotic and anyone helping the Vets is doing good...
But I did tell you that ELITE PHILANTHROPY TENDS TO BE ABOUT ELITE CAUSES... Right?
So in 2018... an article in ProPublica found that The Cohen Network was closing it's clinic in Los Angeles less than a year after it opened. The Cohen Network's leaders had alienated the staff there, former employees said, by telling them to prioritize healthier patients over homeless veterans.
This is SPECULATED as the privatization of Mental Health Treatment for VAs in America... and I'm GUESSING many of you already know all about this... RIGHT??
The article continues with:
A thorough examination of the Cohen Network's record --- including internal documents, emails and dozens of interviews with current and former employees --- reveals a different story from the one the Cohen Network tells about itself.
The clinic at the University of Southern California (Also on the above Donation list) was doomed by the Cohen Network's mismanagement and insistence on a narrow focus that helped only a subset of veterans, former employees said.
"The model we ended up believing would really serve veterans was different than the model the Cohen Network was proposing all clinics operate under," said Marv Southard, who served as CEO of the Cohen clinic at USC and is now chair of USC's doctor of social work program.
There's a lot more to read in here for any Apes that are interested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a 2016 NYTimes article... Cohen is quoted as saying that:
With veterans, Mr. Cohen makes clear that this is his project alone, separate from the charitable work his family foundation has done under the oversight of his wife, Alexandra. (Their family foundation, which gives away about $50 million a year, has focused on causes like children's health and Lyme disease.)
[Source](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/giving/disgraced-hedge-fund-manager-focuses-on-aiding-veterans.html)
-- So he's SAYING that his foundation is not involved in the Cohen Network... YA?
Well I had a look...
In 2016, the time of this article... the foundation donated $10,500,000 to the Cohen Veterans Network...
More Lies?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dam I BADLY need a puppy break!!
CUPPIE #2 ... Awww.... aren't you the CUTEST puppy in a cup I've ever seen>????
[![r/Superstonk - Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) Episode errr... 9? - Steve Cohen... So HOT right now... But is he STEALING from his clients???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I thought to myself...
Ok... BADASSTRADER...
Think this through...
The Cohen Foundation, Invests their $500 million in Point 72... Gets the VIP returns rate of 19.1%... then uses these profits to donate to causes that further his agenda...
But it costs him nothing... ok...
Well $47 million goes to the Cohen Veterans Network...
Let's take a look at that company right???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well taking a look at the Cohen Veterans Network... 2018 (2019 not available yet)
The MAIN donor is Cohen's Foundation... this is expected...
He pays out Salaries to senior staff in the 6 figures... ok...
Spends $1.6 million on Marketing... hmmm
Website and Client Portal costs $29k.... (Pfff ha ha ha ha!) - Remember how much he spent on his funds website... BULLSHIT!!!
And then most of the rest gets donated out to the individual Military Family Clinics...
Now... I had a look at these Military Family Clinics... and these all look to be the real deal.
Government-funded initiatives with the sole purpose of helping vets and their families...
So what was the story with CVN here?
Cohen has his clinics listed at these Military Family Clinics around the country...
It SEEMS like...
He donates to the Military Family Clinic, provides a grant to get his own team in there and set them up... then funds the team and trains them to provide care using their UNIQUE methods...
Could be completely wrong... but...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He did say that: Mr. Cohen makes clear that this is his project alone...
Though it SEEMS that he just takes a portion of his profits... Hires a team of execs... gets them to donate to Family Clinics around the country and has smaller teams installed along side them...
Hmmm............
Though the Military Family Clinics he is partnering are WAY more funded, have WAY more staff... and seem to be doing a good job from the outside looking in...
Maybe it's nothing... but I wanted to get some independent reviews of this place.
If he's in all these clinics around the country, shouldn't there be some feedback besides the fact that they are de-prioritising homeless vets?
I took a look at their facebook page: [Source](https://www.facebook.com/cohenveteransnetwork/)
Out of the last 24 posts... not 1 comment...
HMMM..... that's weird.
Then they went live back in June 28th... and they got 2 comments saying they were great...
Lets keep digging...
Another 9 posts with 0 comments...
Lots of likes no comments...
Then again a live stream and they had 2 people commenting...
Lets dig again...
Finally a REAL comment back in June 16, but not about CVN
Too many posts not enough real engagement...
GlassDoor says its an amazing place to work [source](https://www.glassdoor.ie/Overview/Working-at-Cohen-Veterans-Network-EI_IE1159646.11,33.htm?countryRedirect=true)
Urrgghhh....
Not finding anything REAL here...
Same story on [LINKEDIN](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cohenveterans/)
Same Story on [YOUTUBE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUxi9F6jP2c&ab_channel=CohenVeteransNetwork)
Same Story on [REDDIT](https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=cohen%20veterans%20network) (Shocking - 0 comments)
I scoured the Internet Apes...
I really did...
Cohen has committed to $235 million in funding for this program... and I can see the money going through Salaries and Donations to Military Family Clinics... but if they are helping all these people how come NO INDEPENDENT reviews GOOD or BAD are talking about it?
All I can find is POOR efforts at Social Content by their Social Media team... news reports and a few staff stating how great it is to work there.
I want to be wrong here... I want it to be a great service doing great things...
But it seems to be invisible... at least from a Digital Perspective.
They are running ads and there is a LITTLE bit of traffic going to the site

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 thing did catch my eye again though...
In 2018... he spent $1.6 million on marketing.
Now most traffic tools don't have much data on this site historically... but Google trends does.
[![r/Superstonk - Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) Episode errr... 9? - Steve Cohen... So HOT right now... But is he STEALING from his clients???

Now this is COMPLETE... speculation... But SEM rush gives me traffic for this year...

With an average of total site visits of about 6k a month...
We can see the graph in Google Trends... and in 2018... lets say those spikes are about double...
If we then assume no spikes and average it out at the highest peak... we get 12k hits per month.
12 x 12 = 144,000 website visits for the year... and it cost him $1.6 million?
And no1 is talking about them? They can't even get views or comments on their Youtube Channel?
COULD IT BE THAT THIS IS ALL JUST A PUBLICITY PLAY???
I dunno... I'm tired... it's late... this is shit... and it simply doesn't make sense...
I'm reaching to try and make this company be legit... but I just can't see it???
I have a feeling my work here is just beginning

So in this episode, I decided to take a trip abroad...
To the Cayman Islands that is!
And while I'm there, why not take a look under the hood of all the Private Investment Funds Kenny Keeps over there and a few other of your favorites too!

Ahhhh..... that's better....
TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT:
Citadel Assets Under Management (AUM) = $35 Billion as of Oct 2020
Estimate Cost to CURE world hunger by 2030 = $330 Billion also as of Oct 2020
([Source](https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/oct/13/ending-world-hunger-by-2030-would-cost-330bn-study-finds))
How much money does Kenny keep in the Caymans in his Private Funds? = $269 BILLION (Nice!) - Spread across 16 Funds in the Caymans as of 2021-03-31
- Not exact as it's way too many digits to type into my Calculator...
(I wonder why he likes to setup his funds there? Must be the WEATHER!... ya that's it, the WEATHER!)
([Source](https://whalewisdom.com/filer/citadel-advisors-llc#tabadv_ownership_tab_link))
As of 2020-11-25 he had $254.2 Billion Parked in his Sunny Paradise
As of 2020-05-28 he had $265.5 Billion Parked in his Sunny Paradise
As of 2020-03-30 he had $259.6 Billion Parked in his Sunny Paradise
So it does seem like there is quite a bit of movement throughout the year through these funds...
Anyway...
I decided to look into some of them.
BUT BEFORE WE DO...
DID ANYONE HAPPEN TO NOTICE THIS?
As of first quarter 2021, Citadel Advisors LLC ran a Private Equity funding of $85 million for BLIZZARD??
I wonder why Kenny wants to get directly involved in the gaming world????
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The biggest fund by far is the CITADEL GLOBAL FIXED INCOME MASTER FUND LTD.
Last Reported, this had $117 Billion in it.
According to their 13F filings, Kenny owns 5% of these funds directly through CITADEL ADVISORS LLC and 75% of these funds indirectly through CITADEL GP LLC
- But OBVIOUSLY other investors are putting money in here. *This is not all Kenny's Money.*
CITADEL GLOBAL FIXED INCOME MASTER FUND LTD listed their FORM D with the SEC, to qualify as a Cayman Islands Tax Exempted Company here
([Source](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1554423/000180233221000003/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml))
Listed as the Related Persons to this Form D are the following:
- Shawn Fa gan - We know him
- Kirk Davis - Pin High Limited - Bermuda
- Peter Huber Maples Fiduciary Services - Cayman Islands
- Clarendon Masters - Midsea Consulting Limited - Bermuda
So... a quick search on Offshore Leads Database, gives us an idea of the players involved here... how they are connected, why some are based in Bermuda and some in the Caymans, and introduces us to a few more NEW players and rabbit holes to go down.

But let's come back to this...
FIRST... as good Ape DD demands... let's check if this pattern persists shall we?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POINT72 - Cayman Islands
$113,025,630,560 across 9 Funds in the Caymans as of April 2021
[Source](https://whalewisdom.com/filer/point72-asset-management-lp#tabadv_ownership_tab_link)
AQR Capital Management - Cayman Islands

Tiger Global Management - Cayman Islands

[Source](https://whalewisdom.com/filer/tiger-global-management-llc#tabadv_ownership_tab_link)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it's safe to say... the pattern holds up.
And of course... Finance Guys using LEGAL offshore accounting practices to avoid tax is nothing new.
I'm sure most of you just assume this happens, but it's how it's stacked against us that gets me really pissed off.
But before we blow a gasket...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUPPY BREAK!!
Awww... look at you in your suit! Aren't you so cute! Are you dressed up for a job interview???
I hope you're not applying to be a banker!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the whole thing about Offshore accounts...
We know people get in trouble for that shit.
But it is LEGAL... once it's SETUP right.
But who the fuck knows if it's setup right or not?
You think you could go out there and setup an offshore account yourself so you can keep your Post Moass profits tax-free?
You think your local accountant around the corner can do that with 100% confidence he's not going to fuck it up and get you arrested?
But Hedgefunds fucking know...
BUT... they can't just open that up as a service to the general population otherwise NOBODY would be paying tax and the government would not be able to function...
So what do they do?
They set massive MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS to be even considered entry into these funds (Which is 100% legal of course)
But basically... this LEGAL rule means this...
Work 9-5 pay taxes
Get a pay rise for working harder... pay MORE taxes
Figure out a way to make $10 million... don't worry about paying ANY taxes anymore.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Citadel Fund Minimum Requirements
CITADEL EQUITY FUND LTD. - $0
CEIF INTERNATIONAL LTD. - $0
CITADEL MULTI-STRATEGY EQUITIES MASTER FUND LTD. -$0
CITADEL ENERGY INVESTMENTS LTD. - $0
CITADEL KENSINGTON SIF 1 LTD. - $200,000,000
CITADEL TREASURY INTERNATIONAL LTD. - $0
CITADEL KENSINGTON GLOBAL STRATEGIES FUND LTD. - $10,000,000
CITADEL TACTICAL TRADING LTD. - $100,000
CITADEL GLOBAL FIXED INCOME MASTER FUND LTD. - $0
CITADEL GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND LTD. - $10,000,000
CITADEL QUANTITATIVE STRATEGIES MASTER FUND LTD. - $0
CITADEL PRESIDIO FUND LLC - $150,000,000
CITADEL KENSINGTON GLOBAL STRATEGIES FUND II LTD. - $10,000,000
CITADEL EQUITIES FUND LTD. - $10,000,000
CITADEL TACTICAL MASTER FUND LTD. - $0
But what about the funds that have $0 minimum requirements Mr BadassTrader? Can I get into one of those?
No dearest sweet ape... no1 gets into those!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how do Citadel Do it?
Before I dive in... JUST REMEMBER... this part is SPECULATION... because 1, I can't prove anything and 2, this is ENTIRELY LEGAL anyway!
Ok, so let's pretend for a minute that I'm Ken Griffin (Urrgh)... and I want to hide some money offshore for both myself and my clients so we don't have to pay pesky taxes like regular people...
What do I do?
SIMPLE!
I pick up the phone to my friends at PricewaterhouseCoopers LTD. and I ask them, to set me up a company in the Bahamas that I can trade money through.

You see, as Ken Griffin, I already know that PricewaterhouseCoopers are EXPERTS at setting up these funds offshore... here's a few more they have done:

(Who better to have setup your tax haven's than your Tax Auditor??)
And PWHC are SUCH experts at this, that they have the FORMULA down to a TEE...
To start, in order to make the company appear legit... you NEED A MAN ON THE GROUND!
That's where Kirk Davis comes in...

See PWHC know Kirk Davis well, they know he can be trusted and probably won't ask too many questions once we keep him on a good payroll...
In FACT... they have used him several times before:

And that Apes and Apettes, is how we setup a LEGAL tax-haven that has NO regulatory requirements, and can take money from anyone in the US and transfer it offshore.
Pretty neat huh?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now... just remember that in 2013, the US Government blocked American's from using these tax havens
[Source](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/americans-can-no-longer-use-cayman-islands-costa-rica-as-tax-havens/)
But I sure am glad they kept the back door open for the super-rich... RIGHT?
And according to this report, this accounts for $400 billion in tax losses EVERY YEAR...
[Source](https://www.caymancompass.com/2020/11/23/new-report-claims-more-than-400b-lost-to-tax-havens-each-year/)
But honestly... I think that figure is MASSIVELY underestimated, as it's global across ALL tax havens and what I've listed above is just a few hedge funds in 1 destination!

First off - to address all the attention 10.1 getting removed got.
Besides the fact that it was all over the Hot page of Superstonk, besides the fact that it made it to the top 5 of [r/All](https://www.reddit.com/r/All/), besides the fact that loads of you beautiful Apes took action and made sure it got attention by cross-posting, upvoting etc...
I just wanted to say this...
From my perspective, that was all one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I know there have been bigger incidents in the GME saga etc, but I got to see firsthand the community coming together and sticking up for something you guys believed in.
When the post got removed, I was a little pissed off and figured it was a waste of work and I'd prob just call it quits at that point. Said I'd post it, expecting 20 -30 upvotes.
But seeing the reaction was inspiring.
You Apes are Inspiring!
And again, shoutout to [u/jsmar18](https://www.reddit.com/u/jsmar18/) and [u/captain-fan](https://www.reddit.com/u/captain-fan/) for sticking up for me to the Reddit admins and getting the post back, when they KNEW they didn't have to and there was a chance it would cause hassle for Superstonk Mods.
And thanks to everyone who reached out directly too!
Honestly means ALOT lads!
Here's a hug!

Ok onto today's episode!
Let's kick this episode off with this...
(Dated: July 14, 2020)
FBI concerned over laundering risks in private equity, hedge funds - leaked document
[![r/Superstonk - Billionaire Boys Club (BBC!) Ep. 10.2 - Cayman Island Getaway - How to hide money from the FBI + Brazilgate!](https://preview.redd.it/6574zi8qm3h71.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7b097f7ae331dd1f8f00207371b74f862512860)](https://preview.redd.it/6574zi8qm3h71.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7b097f7ae331dd1f8f00207371b74f862512860)

While you can feel free to read the full article above, I am going to directly quote a lot of this as I believe this is something that everyape should know about.
*"The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation believes firms in the nearly* *$10-trillion* *private investment funds industry are being used as vehicles for laundering money at scale, according to a leaked intelligence bulletin prepared by the agency in May."*
Opening fucking paragraph...
So the FBI believes that the $10-Trillion private investment funds industry are being used as vehicles for money laundering???
First-off $10-Trillion????
In BBC 10.1 I thought the estimates for offshore tax haven private funds was small at $400 Billion, and while I know that not EVERY Private Investment Fund is Offshore, there certainly seems to me like ALOT MORE POTENTIAL of tax avoidance, if the FBI estimates the value at $10 Trillion??
Honestly...
Is it just me?
Am I losing the plot?
Fuck it... Early Puppy Break!

Aww... who's a good guard dog! Yes you guys are good guard dogs!
[![r/Superstonk - Billionaire Boys Club (BBC!) Ep. 10.2 - Cayman Island Getaway - How to hide money from the FBI + Brazilgate!](https://preview.redd.it/d221xqdsm3h71.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d568ffa4b7927c5b0a911dcb28e710c62522439)](https://preview.redd.it/d221xqdsm3h71.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d568ffa4b7927c5b0a911dcb28e710c62522439)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information that made up the basis for this article came from LEAKED LAW ENFORCEMENT DOCUMENTS
The biggest Data-Leak relating to the Police force in history... AKA BLUELEAKS
BlueLeaks, sometimes referred to by the Twitter hashtag #BlueLeaks, refers to 269 gigabytes of internal U.S. law enforcement data obtained by the hacker collective Anonymous and released on June 19, 2020 by the activist group Distributed Denial of Secrets, which called it the "largest published hack of American law enforcement agencies.
The Blueleaks data has SINCE BEEN REMOVED almost entirely from the Internet, so we do not have an original source here to reference.
But if you want to check out some of the background on this and all the other information that was exposed, the best place I've found is using the Twitter Hashtag.
BUT....
At the time of the leak, a press release was issued by Reuters which gave us this article and at the time of the article, all the data was still online...
SO REUTERS HAD SOURCES FOR THEIR ARTICLE - And we will use their article as the source for this one.
(Hope that makes sense, if it wasn't Reuters I'd probably discount this)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE CRAZY SHIT REVEALED:
> It also said the industry lacks adequate anti-money laundering programs and called for greater scrutiny by regulators, which have yet to issue rules for the industry.
>
> The FBI bulletin (SOURCE NO LONGER AVAILABLE) cites four cases of planned or reported laundering operations, involving hundreds of millions of dollars, using private funds. One of those cases led to a criminal conviction.
>
> "Criminally complicit investment fund managers likely will expand their money laundering operations as private placement opportunities increase, resulting in continued infiltration of the licit global financial system. If greater regulatory scrutiny compelled private investment funds to identify and disclose to financial institutions the underlying beneficial owners of investments, this would reduce the appeal of these investment firms to threat actors, at which time the FBI will re-visit this assessment,"
>
> The FBI's assessment is made with "high-confidence", the bulletin read.
So the FBI, has a HIGH-CONFIDENCE that full-on ILLEGAL money-laundering activity is running through these private funds... AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT DUE TO A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY!
So back to us...
If the FBI can't catch this shit... what are the chances the SEC can catch their shit? Or the IRS catch their shit?
Is this whole Private Funds thing basically just like the Darkweb? Where anything goes, and no1 is traceable?
> The Securities and Exchange Commission describes private funds as pooled investment vehicles that are excluded from the definition of 'investment company' under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ([Source behind paywall](https://www.google.com/url?q=http://go-ri.tr.com/E4a3Vf&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1628805820161000&usg=AOvVaw3ji_Uhyk0BJGWrzUC2MV5S)) which governs mutual funds. Private funds generally include hedge funds and private equity funds, according to the SEC.
So hedgies are part of this!
> Hedge funds wager on public-market equity, debt, derivative, foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, and other liquid investments. The conventional PE strategy similarly uses high amounts of debt purchase underperforming companies or corporate assets, which managers then restructure.
>
> Unlike hedge funds, PE vehicles are illiquid, with long investor lockups being a signature of the asset class. Both asset classes cater exclusively to institutional clients and accredited investors, or people whose net worth exceed $1 million.
(Interesting that their net worth floor is $1 million, similar to what I suspected in 10.1)
> Over the last several years, hedge funds have fallen out of favor among many institutional investors, while private equity funds and other private markets vehicles have continued to grow in assets under management," said Bryce Klempner, a partner at consultants McKinsey & Company in Boston.
So there's more and more going into these Private Funds!!
> The bulletin cites four cases in which hedge funds and PE firms "have been used to facilitate transactions in support of fraud, transnational organized crime, and sanctions evasion". Intelligence in the report was collected between March 2017 and July 2019.
They know crimes are being committed using these channels and have already been flagged by them!!
> First, the FBI highlights the case of Mark Scott, the disgraced partner of a major U.S. law firm, who was convicted in New York last year of helping the operators of initial coin offering scam OneCoin launder more than $400 million.
>
> The FBI omits mention of Scott by name, but describes how fraud funds were moved and concealed "through a series of purported private equity funds holding accounts at financial institutions, including those in the Cayman Islands" and Ireland. Details of the Scott case match the FBI's account.
Did you FUCKING READ THAT????
Crypto Scams are using Private Funds to conceal their money through the CAYMAN ISLANDS>????
(And Ireland of all places??!)

<https://i.redd.it/mx1qjm54xzg71.gif>
So this isn't just THEORY any more apes... This ACTUALLY HAPPENED and is documented in ongoing investigations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this bit is a big block of text... but trust me Apes... it's worth it!
> Enabling the activity are private fund incorporation and operating structures that disproportionately favor bank secrecy jurisdictions, particularly Delaware state and the Cayman Islands. These locales are the most popular domestic and offshore destinations to set up general partnerships for global hedge funds and PE funds, respectively.
>
> Hedge funds and private equity firms receive funds from entities registered in nations that maintain laws conducive to masking underlying beneficial owners," which makes it harder for U.S. financial institutions and regulators to determine the source of funding, the FBI bulletin read.
>
> As of April 2019, some 70% of these private investment advisers were domiciled in the Cayman Islands, according to an article written in Cayman Funds Magazine by a partner at offshore law firm Carey Olson. A total of 20% of dollar funding to global banks comes from the Caymans, according to a Q3 2019 Bank of International Settlements report.
>
> Martin Kenney, a British Virgin Islands-based asset recovery attorney who has represented victims of hedge-fund swindler Allen Stanford and other frauds, said: "It stands to reason that a not-insignificant proportion of the capital managed by private investment funds is dark money.
So it's essentially confirmed that everything is as I've suspected. These funds are Dark Money, with little traceability, little regulation and poor anti-money laundering structures, not to mention the POTENTIAL for tax evasion, stock market manipulation and so on...
So NO WONDER... so many Hedgies have SO MANY funds both in the Caymans and other Private Fund favorite destinations!
Fuckin Puppy Break!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here puppies! It's Dinner Time!
Who's hungry???

Ok so...
There's lots more in that article and I do suggest you Apes read it!
[Source](https://www.reuters.com/article/bc-finreg-fbi-laundering-private-equity/fbi-concerned-over-laundering-risks-in-private-equity-hedge-funds-leaked-document-idUSKCN24F1TP)
But the other big thing I got from it was... while I was schooling myself through this article, I found a reference to a new type of form that I never heard of that offered public-facing information.
Form ADV...
No not DFV, ADV...
So this form requires our favorite Hedgie Allstars to PUBLICALLY disclose information about all their private funds...
Now, before we jump into the meat of this, there is a section before going into the information that LISTS Citadel Advisors LLC Alternate names.
[Source](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/148826&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1628805820163000&usg=AOvVaw0tJ0HzEPj5uNvhmacdMYU3)
Did you KNOW that Citadel Advisors LLC is also known as ASHLER CAPITAL LLC???
STOP lying... no you didn't!
I searched Reddit for Reference of Ashler Capital and...

Ep. 10.2 - Cayman Island Getaway - How to hide money from the FBI + Brazilgate!](https://preview.redd.it/rw3x5j32n3h71.png?width=862&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa40fa953bba5a31220fd1375f62dc49aa60b17c)](https://preview.redd.it/rw3x5j32n3h71.png?width=862&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa40fa953bba5a31220fd1375f62dc49aa60b17c)
Feel free to check them out: [https://www.citadel.com/investment-strategies/ashler-capital/](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.citadel.com/investment-strategies/ashler-capital/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1628805820164000&usg=AOvVaw3SJKLP--KLJzBbrP8RnEyT)
But anyway... that's not why we came here. Let's take a look at all the PRIVATE FUNDS that Citadel have disclosed.
(Remember those Private funds that the FBI are worried about?)
This is a LONG document, but anyone that likes mildly interesting boring information can take a look through it here...
[SOURCE](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/148826/PDF/148826.pdf&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1628805820164000&usg=AOvVaw1uUnjneeXoHZ86hnxUIyRS)
But the synopsis is:
The Document outlines the LIST of all Citadel Private funds. Similar to what we discussed in [BBC Ep. 10](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/p1ofgr/billionaire_boys_club_bbc_episode_10_allinclusive/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1628805820165000&usg=AOvVaw1MoiVCJaX0B5qajQM8HqCS)
But not just the Cayman Islands you see...
Kenny has many Private funds, either in the Caymans or US (Often Delaware)...
But the INTERESTING thing about this form, is it also lists the CUSTODIANS of these funds...
[](https://preview.redd.it/w9xjrj86n3h71.gif?format=mp4&s=0d502a648df18e39031dbc2610cb228208c6bd2a)
Yes Tom... I said Custodians of these Private Funds.
You see custodians are entities listed that have permission to control a portion of these given funds.
NOW...

But I think you get the idea...
DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE ONLY COUNTRY LISTED IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD HERE IS BRAZIL?
So PLEASE... any apes with a Finance background tell me if I am wrong here...
Let's say I owned a Hedge Fund... and I wanted to move money around the world without raising too many flags... wouldn't having unregulated private funds set up and granting access to different entities around the world allow me to do that?
Or... if I had a hedge fund and I wanted to make some puts disappear down in Brazil, wouldn't having Private Funds setup and granting access to portions of those funds to Banks in Brazil be first step to make that happen?
Even the FBI say they have too little control over this!
NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT ALL THESE FUNDS ARE BASED IN TAX HAVENS!

0\. Preface
I am not a financial advisor - and this is not financial advice.
I was looking this up last night and it made me lose some sleep because everything started to click.
Seriously I think I got maybe four hours at most. I'm flipping out. I need you guys to be reasonable and put me down if I'm on a nothing burger path.
I'm throwing these thoughts to the wolves (you guys) to pick at it and get more discussion.

Reddit About To Kill My Hype
1\. Futures Vs Options
Both Options and Futures are derivatives. Which you can essentially think of as a side bet of an underlying asset.
An options contract does not require the purchase or sale of the underlying asset. While futures contracts do require the purchase or sale of the underlying asset.
> An options contract gives an investor the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or sell) shares at a specific price at any time, as long as the contract is in effect.
>
> By contrast, a futures contract requires a buyer to purchase shares---and a seller to sell them---on a specific future date, unless the holder's position is closed before the expiration date. - [Source](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/difference-between-options-and-futures/)
And you can get futures contracts for Equity Indexes. Or in other words you can get future contracts on "baskets" of stocks.
> Equity Index Futures are derivatives instruments that give investors exposure to price movements on an underlying Index. Market participants therefore can profit from the price movements of a basket of equities without trading the individual constituents. An index futures contract gives investors the ability to buy or sell an underlying listed financial instrument at a fixed price on a future date. - [Source](https://www.jse.co.za/trade/derivitive-market/equity-derivatives/equity-index-futures)
2\. "Meme" Stock Basket
It's without a doubt in my mind that a handful of "meme" stocks are following the same price movements, and they're all in this together. Notably: GME, AMC, KOSS, BBBY, EXPR.
GME of course being the outlier that has massive, massive short interest. [Where the SI% is most likely hidden because of a swap of the short position through ITM CALLs](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/orr9tf/speculative_piecing_together_the_itm_calls_and/).
Here's all of them plotted:

GME, AMC, KOSS, EXPR, BBBY Price Movements
I'm getting convinced that these price movements are driven by derivatives around indexes/ETFs that contain the "meme" stocks as a basket because their price movements are so synchronous.
Thanks to [/u/turdfurg23](https://www.reddit.com/u/turdfurg23/) - and I'm sure many others who he has worked with - one of the main ETFs containing GME, AMC, KOSS, BBBY, EXPR is VTI. The actual weights of GME in VTI is quite low. Extremely low. But, it's an example of a basket that holds these "meme" stocks.
Again, I'm throwing this all to the wolves to help pick this apart. Because way more eyeballs on this right now is better than just myself looking into it.
Best guess? Someone *cough* is on the wrong side of a futures contract trade for a basket which holds all of GME, AMC, KOSS, BBBY, EXPR, and other "meme" stocks.
Because...
3\. "Meme" Stock Prices Spike Prior To Equity Index Rollover Dates
When you open up a futures contract, you don't have to go to initial expiration and be forced to buy/sell. You can essentially "extend" the expiration of the position forward. You still maintain the same position, but your position isn't completely closed out. This is done by closing the original contract and then opening a newer contract for the exact same underlying asset at the current market price.
This "rolling" of a futures allows you to maintain that same risky position beyond the initial expiration of the contract rather than being forced to close it out by buying/selling the underlying. The "rollover" is typically carried out shortly before expiration of the initial contract. But, by performing this rollover it requires the gain/loss on the original contract to be settled. Essentially a "partial" close-out of the initial contract.
I saw this chart last night which really caught my attention. It's the Equity Index Futures expiration and rollover dates per CME Group (more on them in a little bit).
I've circled a few rollover dates for the equity index futures. Interesting dates, huh? These are around the time when all of the "meme" stocks surged in price and subsequently GME flash crashed.
[![r/Superstonk - Are futures or swaps the secret sauce to price movements? Meme stocks move in baskets.

https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/rolldates.html
Take another look at the "meme" stock price chart. On there are two dashed green lines marking 3/11/21 and 6/10/21. Huge surges in price occur just before these dates. Afterwards - decay in stock price.
But this does not mean that the futures must be rolled over on those specific dates.
Actually, they can start to be rolled over before these dates within a defined timeframe. The ones circled in the table are basically the "deadline" dates, or the "Last Trading Day" dates.
> A futures position must be closed out either before the First Notice Day**, in the case of physically delivered contracts, or before the** Last Trading Day, in the case of cash-settled contracts. The contract is usually closed for cash, and the investor simultaneously enters into the same futures contract trade with a later expiry date. - [Source](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/firstnoticeday.asp)
So, the timeframe where rollouts can start is on of just before the "First Notice Day". Which is defined as follows:
> A First Notice Day (FND) is the day after which an investor who has purchased a futures contract may be required to take physical delivery of the contract's underlying commodity. The first notice day can vary by contract and will also depends on exchange rules.
>
> If the first business day of the delivery month was Monday, Oct. 1, first notice day would typically fall one to three business days prior, so it could be Wednesday, Sept. 26, Thursday, Sept.27, or Friday, Sept. 28. Most investors close out their positions before first notice day because they don't want to own physical commodities. According to CME Group, only approximately 2.5% of futures contracts actually go to physical delivery.
From the above, the "First Notice Day" is typically three business days prior to the first business day of the month of settlement. And in some cases, rollovers occur one business day prior to that, coming out to be four business days total.
Which gives us these as possible "rollover" timeframes:
| Futures Expiration Date | First Notice Day (T-3 from first business day of the expiration month) | Day Before First Notice Day (Some rollovers occur starting here) | Last Trading Day / Roll Date | "Rollover Period" (Timeframe where Equity Indexes are rolled) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| March 19 | February 24 | February 23 | March 11 | February 23 - March 11 |
| June 18 | May 26 | May 25 | June 10 | May 25 - June 10 |
| September 17 | August 27 | August 26 | September 9 | August 26 - September 9 |
Damn, look at that. February 24th should ring some bells. Likewise, May 25th. Rollovers initiate and must be completed by the Last Trading Day.
Thus plotting it out on the chart gives this:

Equity Index Rollover Periods And Price Movements
This is potentially driving the price spikes because they close out their original contracts, eating some losses.
> It is usually carried out shortly before expiration of the initial contract and requires that the gain or loss on the original contract be settled.
Only for them to extend their futures expiration to the next quarterly expiration date by rolling the contracts.
Meaning that they ate some losses in March by settling the losses, while simultaneously extending to June. Only to arrive at June to eat more losses by settling those losses, and simultaneously extending the futures to September.
I know that quite a few others have posted about these price movement patterns as well. Please understand that many other amazing apes have noticed these quarterly movements. Credit where credit is due! But I've always scratched my head as to WHY those movements happened. And this... this shit just makes too much sense.
So. Price run coming between August 26th and September 9th as they start closing based on losses? Potentially amplified by the expirations of OTM PUTs? Maybe triggering the MOASS?
[/u/jsross](https://www.reddit.com/u/jsross/) left me this very interesting [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/p2nxcn/elliott_waves_and_the_gme_cycle_what_to_expect/h8lplcc/?context=3) which makes me more jacked about the PUTs expiring:
> So I asked someone that used to be a market maker (supposedly) about what all purposes those puts could serve. Here was his response:
>
> "sorry for the delayed response. These puts can be used to limit capital requirements by decreasing margin."

> So this makes sense, actually with the whole aspect of a hidden short position and the purpose of the puts. I'm wondering if those puts satisfied some of the margin requirements for SLD. If on this SLD cycle we run up, I think our whole thesis is actually proven as much as it can be, because they effectively just lost a buttload of margin with the puts expiring.

> So, here is what I'm thinking. As these quarterlies expire, they essentially have less capital for margin, resulting in a buy-in as we have seen before. (I'm not entirely sure how that process works). This would be evident in the run-ups, the cycles, the purpose, etc. Why would they need margin of they closed their short position?
Sounds like it's possible that the PUTs are used as a hedge to decrease their margin and limit their capital requirements.
Oof.
If that's true, then each futures rollover period could become more explosive as the OTM PUTs expire. It already appears to be explosive for some stocks in the basket, such as AMC, which ripped upward to $70 on June 2nd.
Referencing from [/u/broccaaa](https://www.reddit.com/u/broccaaa/)'s GME OI chart once again, you can see PUTs dropping off slowly as they expire worthless. They're not opening up more of these, and we can see that because the OI was around 2,000,000 at the end of January only to drop to about 520,000 today. Maybe they are unable to open up more PUTs for this hedging purpose. Who knows.

I shittily drew in the trends following July 16th expirations. As of August 11th, the following is the total OI for CALLs and PUTs. It's still not back to normal, as many PUTs won't expire until January 2022. But, it's almost there:
| CALL OI | PUT OI | Difference |

| 219,564 | 518,759 | 299,195 |
With all that, I'm going to leave you with something juicy regarding CME Group.
4\. CME Group & Citadel
CME Group is the "Chicago Mercantile Exchange" located in, well, Chicago. Know who else is there?

No Caption Needed
These guys are a massive derivatives marketplace. They're currently the largest options and futures contracts exchange of any futures exchange in the world. CME Group is where I got the above table for the "rollover dates" of Equity Index Futures. Odds are that they are being used to trade futures (or maybe even swaps) around the "meme" stock basket.
I came across this post by [u/TheLunarnautics](https://www.reddit.com/u/TheLunarnautics/) when scrounging around:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/Autisticats/comments/ojrh8x/chicago_mercantile_exchange_cme_group_and_citadel/>
I don't want to steal the OPs thunder by copy/pasting their stuff. So seriously, go read it. But the jist of it is:
- Citadel has a stake in CME group. About [287,159 shares of CME as of May 21st, 2021](https://fintel.io/so/us/cme/citadel-advisors-llc).
- Citadel and CME Group have a long relationship together, going back to 2008.
- CME Group and Citadel established a clearing house for Swaps that are priced electronically and competitively, by Citadel's systems.
- Citadel has a massive amount of trades going through CME Group just in Credit Default Swaps. They accounted for ~11.5% of total trading of the contracts.
Definitely think it's worth looking into CME Group.

Because this investigative report has broader implications than just GME, a PDF version with a non-GME intro can be [found here](https://github.com/Slyver12/iterative_treemap_megacorp/blob/main/how_to_take_over_the_world_in_3M_steps_part_1_Finkle_is_Einhorn.pdf).

GME BBEMG = GameStop Big Bad End Monster Guy (or as I like to call it; never pass up the chance to modify a perfectly good acronym to create a palindrome)

Who is at the end of the GME saga? Is it really Citadel? Is it the DTC, SEC, etc.? Why has MOASS not happened yet? What game is the Evil Monster at the end playing and how do we stop it? Who OWNS this mess? With what this report exposes, I hope to bring us closer to answering these questions. The evidence uncovered in my investigation suggests some pretty serious problems with the entire structure of what we call "the free market". It suggests that there is nothing "free" about it all, in fact it may be as controlled (and owned) as The Matrix itself. I highly recommend the !buckleup! tag for this one, and please keep your hands and feet inside the cart at all times.
0.1 Preamble
A few months ago Citadel was the BBEG and BlackRock was our Angel, swooping in all dark and sinister, but totally on our side with their Sword of Deep Pocket Whaleness. Everyone kept saying it, but I just wasn't buying it. Why would the two Big Daddies controlling the long and short side of the market be in opposition? They have been playing nice with each other for decades to great mutual benefit. Why would that change? Aren't they both in the "too big to fail" category?
I began this journey then. Most of this I wrote a couple months ago or more, and have been sitting on it. Not because I didn't want to share, but because the investigation had gotten so big I wanted to finish it before I presented my findings so I could keep it all in context. Well, that didn't happen. I've written over a hundred pages of primary source findings and I'm really no where near finished, but I think I am finished enough to begin presenting the evidence.
This investigation is primarily on *ownership*; who owns what; what benefits and responsibilities does ownership give, both by the law, and within the scope of what is realistic. Since this is a report on *current ownership*, even though it is topical to GME which we are all invested in, it isn't really about personal finance, and should not be taken as financial advice.
0.2 The Long And The Short Of It
Before I begin, it is necessary to understand the basics of "going long" or "selling short" on a stock. A [*long position*](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/long.asp) is basically placing a bet that a stock's value will increase. A [*short sale*](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shortselling.asp) is basically placing a bet that the stock's value will decrease. Of course that is an oversimplification, but it's all you need to know before beginning this report.
1.0 Your Favorite Companies!
Unless you shop at Walmart, Costco, or Amazon exclusively (no judgments!), you probably buy your clothes from one store, your groceries from another, and your electronic devices from a third. Maybe you even buy these consumables at multiple different stores in each category. All of these different retailers and brands obviously have nothing in common; oftentimes they are fierce competitors.
As smart shoppers we find the stores with the best prices, each store hawking their wares with ads and sales, all vying with each other for our hard earned cash. When we aren't shopping or working we spend a fair bit of our free time watching shows on competing cable stations or the online equivalent (Netflix e.g.), or reading news through a plethora of competing news sites that are trying to get us excited with eye popping headlines, or maybe interacting with our friends, relatives, and the world at large through games, social media platforms, or other interactive media.
But are these really different companies competing for your time and money in a free market; full of original ideas and products? Or has the entire concept of a competitive market, and the free flow of information and trade become nothing more than a *game of pretend* we are forced to play? Does the market really encourage *any* innovator to introduce their ideas for public judgment? Or does judgment come long before the public even knows about an innovation? (E.g. [naked shorting](https://www.wraltechwire.com/2020/07/21/redhill-biopharma-requests-sec-review-of-suspicious-trading-activity/) biotech [research start-ups](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ndrjl8/naked_short_sellers_have_set_our_cancer_research/), or [EVtech companies](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/of8o42/shitadel_and_friends_are_shorting_innovative_ev/).)
Does the money from every purchase go into the same corporate pocket, no matter which sign hangs over the door?
1.1 Your Favorite Companies?
There are certain "investment firms", such as Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street Corporation, JP Morgan, BofA, Fidelity (FMR LLC), Northern Trust Corp, etc., etc. who have purchased large percentages of stock in every company in America that has a name big enough to make a blip on their radar (and many that have yet to do so). When you add up the ownership of all these investment firms into any random production or retail company it totals anywhere from a very large minority (40%+) all the way up to nearly 100%.
Examples: [Intel](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nasdaq/intc/ownership) 63% and [AMD](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nasdaq/amd/ownership) 67% (note that these are not the complete list, just the top ten):
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/7rukpcrdr0f71.png?width=588&format=png&auto=webp&s=625ff6bc5aaf8bc2a6496cc262cdd9c280cbeb73)](https://preview.redd.it/7rukpcrdr0f71.png?width=588&format=png&auto=webp&s=625ff6bc5aaf8bc2a6496cc262cdd9c280cbeb73)
Here are a few more that show the approximate institutional ownership of some mostly random corporations; sourced from [finance.yahoo.com](https://finance.yahoo.com/) and [www.wallstreetzen.com](http://www.wallstreetzen.com/).
- [Walmart](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/WMT/holders?p=WMT) 43%
- [Target](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TGT/holders?p=TGT) 83%
- [Apple](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/holders?p=AAPL) 59%

- [Amazon](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/holders?p=AMZN) 65%
- [Disney](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DIS/holders?p=DIS) 67%
- National Amusements (traded though its subsidiary: [ViacomCBS](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VIAC/holders?p=VIAC) 88%)
- [AT&T](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/T/holders?p=T) 53%
- [Comcast](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CMCSA/holders?p=CMCSA) 86%
- [News Corp](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NWSA/holders?p=NWSA) 76%
- [Sinclair Broadcasting Group](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SBGI/holders?p=SBGI) 88%
Some of the institutional ownership is tied up in funds, but the majority of this ownership is in long term investment. This not only gives these investment firms collectively a majority share in equity and profits, but also voting rights. For the vast majority of the companies we buy from, these institutions have (if taken together) the majority voting rights to decide who runs the companies and how they handle their assets. Whether or not they use those voting rights to make decisions for these companies is not the focus of this research. I am only pointing out that the ownership trail suggests that *they can if they want to*.
This report will focus primarily on American or American based international companies, but this institutional ownership is not restricted to just these. While some of the data (that I know how to access) gets a little more muddy, here are a couple examples of foreign based companies that are owned in large part by the exact same investors:
- [Alibaba](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BABA/holders?p=BABA) 38% (China)
- [Prudential](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PRU/holders?p=PRU) 57% (UK)
- [Teva Pharmaceuticals](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TEVA/holders?p=TEVA) 53% (Israel)
- [FirstRand](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FSR.JO/holders?p=FSR.JO) 50% (South Africa)
The list, foreign and domestic, goes on, and on, and on, and on...
Forever.
2.0 The Company Your Company Keeps (That Keeps Your Company)
By looking at the investment data, since each large company is primarily owned by most of the same investment firms, it would be reasonable to assume that the real competition is in the investment firms themselves. That it is they who compete with each other for profits, and argue over who gets which part of the market. They fight with each other over which stores and brands get to rise to the top, and who gets shorted out of existence.
This assumption would be completely wrong.
All the investment groups I listed above, and every single one of those not listed that I have been able to find records for (including all privately owned), all own just as much of a share of each other as they do in all the other world's corporations. Here are just a few examples (from [wallstreetzen](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/blk/ownership)):
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/ltk07gmar0f71.png?width=588&format=png&auto=webp&s=2911940816204311cab8aefc66d3315c6d8107d0)](https://preview.redd.it/ltk07gmar0f71.png?width=588&format=png&auto=webp&s=2911940816204311cab8aefc66d3315c6d8107d0)
Here are a few more: [JP Morgan](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/JPM/holders), [Charles Schwab](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/schw/ownership), [Ameriprise Financial Inc](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/amp/ownership), [Bank of New York Mellon](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/bk/ownership). I'll get to Vanguard in section 2.3, but here is ownership in a [sample Vanguard fund](https://www.vanguard.com/pub/Pdf/sai040.pdf) (Investment holdings start on page 34).
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/e04a5q59r0f71.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=5af4eac82728f7b44dc692e1efed776aa9a3d8f4)](https://preview.redd.it/e04a5q59r0f71.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=5af4eac82728f7b44dc692e1efed776aa9a3d8f4)
By all appearances, at least on the large scale, the connectivity of the investment firm network seems to be very close to all nodes are directly connected to all nodes. A big black spider web of corporations.
2.1 Who's The Real Spiderman?
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/ungn7yk5r0f71.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=e572172309906149dc151b25f771f55bca5c17e0)](https://preview.redd.it/ungn7yk5r0f71.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=e572172309906149dc151b25f771f55bca5c17e0)
This shared ownership seems shocking (at least it shocked the shit outta me) but the full implications aren't obvious without some analysis. I will start with a simple math example (really).
2.1.1 Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/snrvmqp4r0f71.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0ef1081eb6cba7c95022d327135b823d1464869)](https://preview.redd.it/snrvmqp4r0f71.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0ef1081eb6cba7c95022d327135b823d1464869)
Let's say I own an investment company named Money Inc.. I'm competing for investor monies with my friend Cartman who owns Fat Money. Down the street is a former friend of ours named Kenny. He owns Money Castle. Kenny is short, has a speech impediment, and steals some of our customers sometimes.
On the edge of town there is a really nice big fat juicy new up and comer company named HankeyPoo that I want to invest in. I really like the stock so I buy 20% of the company. I tell Cartman about it and he agrees with my assessment. He buys 20% as well. Unfortunately Kenny got (down) wind and buys up another 20%. As much as I don't like Kenny, he does have a nose for investment opportunities. HankeyPoo now has 60% institutional ownership. Combined our ownership gives us a lot of control over what kind of shit goes on at the company if we choose to use our "Poo" leverage, though there is little apparent motivation for us to work together since we are obviously competitors. The rest of the town loves HankeyPoo. They seem to think his shit don't stink and scoop up 20% of "The Poo" (Retail). Hankey decided to keep 20% of The Poo in house (Insider).
Here are ownership maps of what these four companies look like:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/gp1o4mv3r0f71.png?width=1235&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c483122f2c01ff8259d9f83b7e214a0fa33cdef)](https://preview.redd.it/gp1o4mv3r0f71.png?width=1235&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c483122f2c01ff8259d9f83b7e214a0fa33cdef)
These pictures are created by an ownership Treemap program I wrote. The code and the database can be [found on github](https://github.com/Slyver12/iterative_treemap_megacorp). A Treemap is a graphical display of data that shows a distribution by percent of something in 2D rectangles. In this case it is relative percent ownership of voting stock. Each sub-rectangle is, by area, a percent of the area of the whole square. For example, in the case of HankeyPoo above it shows that Money Inc (red), Fat Money (green), Money Castle (blue), Retail (white) and Insider (gray, Mr. Hankey himself) all own 20% each of the voting stock of HankeyPoo since their area is in each case 20% of the area of the larger containing square. By contrast, in the case of the three investment companies above; Money Inc, Fat Money, and Money Castle, it shows that they are 100% self owned; they are clearly different companies.
Pleased with my HankeyPoo investment, and having some extra cash, I look elsewhere for investment opportunities. I've always really liked Cartman's company. He may be a slob, but he's a savvy slob. I decide to buy up a third of the total shares in his company. Being nice, I let him know. He decides that's a good idea and buys up 33% of mine as well. Neither of us like Kenny very much so we each decide to snag up as much of his company as we can. We buy out 33% each for a total of 66% ownership. Unbeknownst to us, Kenny, being not as stupid as we thought despite his speech impediment, bought up 33% of each of our companies as well.
As far as HankeyPoo is concerned, we each still own 20% of that company, even though we only own 33% of our own company. For example; I own 1/5 of 1/3 = 1/15 through my own company, and 1/5 of 1/3 through both Cartman's and Kenny's companies. That's 1/15 + 1/15 + 1/15 = 3/15 = 1/5 = 20%. Together we still own 60% and the voting majority. Here is the new ownership treemap:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/6rfyk1m2r0f71.png?width=1235&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7735b87580c80b44ce7d82e6d2cc807eb56906d)](https://preview.redd.it/6rfyk1m2r0f71.png?width=1235&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7735b87580c80b44ce7d82e6d2cc807eb56906d)
While I may still be CEO of my company Money Inc., I have to respect that I have broader interests now. It behooves me to coordinate and work with both Cartman and unfortunately Kenny since its really difficult to tell, by ownership anyways, who owns which company. As far as how invested we are in both each other and HankeyPoo, we might as well be one company with three different "investor" doors and one "retail" door.
If HankeyPoo does well (and we'll make sure it does, with "brown gift bags" at Christmas time) we will have plenty of money to invest in other companies in the same manner; all coordinating for the best interests of each other and of course the corporations we deem worthy. For any companies we don't like, maybe just because they won't sell us controlling interest, or we just think their shit stinks, we'll have the capital to short them out of existence. Any competition to the corporations we own gets deleted if they choose not to join us. If they play ball, they can join our "free market". All we would need to ensure a dominant victory in our little version of "capitalism" is a little help from the media to drive appropriate emotional responses from the public; lean them towards a company or away from it with selective advertising. It's a good thing our companies already own the local news paper!
2.1.2 The Hanky Panky Poo Poo BlackRock Shuffle
With HankeyPoo in mind, lets look at a Treemap of percent ownership of a few different investment companies. Lets start with BlackRock, the largest institutional investor in the world.
When you walk up to the door, BlackRock looks like this:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/bscgrp40r0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=d660b758307f7bc1674d310b304836efd52a98b7)](https://preview.redd.it/bscgrp40r0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=d660b758307f7bc1674d310b304836efd52a98b7)
It's a big, bad ass company, and Larry Fink is the all powerful deity in control of assets worth almost half of America's GDP. But does Larry own BlackRock? When you look into the actual ownership, the voting rights, equity, etc. it looks like this (from [wallstreetzen](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/blk/ownership)):
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/xn4xc0ezq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=1af4747a2baec236de1e57f0d5d194b34cb214a3)](https://preview.redd.it/xn4xc0ezq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=1af4747a2baec236de1e57f0d5d194b34cb214a3)
It looks to me like Merrill Lynch owns BlackRock for the most part. BlackRock only owns 6.5% of BlackRock. Hell, even Vanguard owns more.
But this is an illusion as Merrill Lynch is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America. So BofA is the real owner of this megamachine. Well, not really, because Bank of America doesn't own Bank of America. When I add the actual ownership of Merrill Lynch (BofA) into the Treemap it looks like this:

We see BlackRock actually owns more BlackRock than we thought through ownership of Merrill Lynch. Quite a bit of BR is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. I delved into Berkshire a bit and there are interesting things to say about it, but I won't discuss it in this report. This apparent ownership is still illusory, since all of the companies other than Merrill Lynch/BofA are also owned by other companies. If I fill out the rest of the Treemap with their ownership it looks like this:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/d6nl01vwq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=a117de7ede5d72acb884ebaa59f891efaf35dcc8)](https://preview.redd.it/d6nl01vwq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=a117de7ede5d72acb884ebaa59f891efaf35dcc8)
So here at last is BlackRocks ownership. Except of course its not because each of these companies are also owned by others. If I fill in all of these companies with their ownership it looks like this:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/zv51nkawq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=6639f809139077e0406ca8627e1a5e8f846065fc)](https://preview.redd.it/zv51nkawq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=6639f809139077e0406ca8627e1a5e8f846065fc)
As you keep filling in the ownership further and further eventually it gets below the resolution of the screen, or your eye, or the wavelength of light. For a simple example I will show this iterative "actual ownership" replacement for HankeyPoo Inc.
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/exkp0bxuq0f71.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=943475e0ceffae95e8bcfb33b438a3dc7bd5cee3)](https://preview.redd.it/exkp0bxuq0f71.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=943475e0ceffae95e8bcfb33b438a3dc7bd5cee3)
Using this same process for BlackRock it looks something like this:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/vjgejmstq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=7011977c49875fe04b880e0f45f83a3423b8fcbe)](https://preview.redd.it/vjgejmstq0f71.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=7011977c49875fe04b880e0f45f83a3423b8fcbe)
Welcome to BlackRock. The name is certainly fitting. In this Treemap the white represents Retail investors, the gray represents non-institutional insider investment (the actual people we think of as "owners") and the black represents the Big Bad megamachine: Megacorp. (*Spoiler alert*: it's not really the Big Bad. We have a ways to go for that reveal.)
In order to justify this model, I need to justify some of the larger contiguous chunks of black that have no white or gray speckles. These large black areas are due to a few reasons:
1. Some of it is due to an incomplete database for some smaller contributors to Megacorp.
2. Some of it is because my computer pukes on me when I try to force my inefficient Treemap algorithm through it at too great an iteration depth.
3. Some of it is "Other Institutions" that represents either the balance between the top 25 institutional holders and the rest (also all Megacorp), or stock that is tied up in mutual funds (which means the actual institutional ownership of some of the larger institutions may be higher).
4. The rest of it is investment institutions without public stock offerings (Fidelity e.g.).
1, 2, and 3 add only very small sprinkles and are otherwise irrelevant to the overall map; their lack of inclusion is reasonably justified. A more complete database would produce the same results with a few more small sprinkles mixed in.
As for 4, that requires further justification. Those black contributions could potentially be all gray for example (100% owned by insiders). Trying to find the real ownership of these non-public companies (like Fidelity) is like trying to pull out your own teeth with your fingers; its slippery, a little painful, you look silly trying, and its ultimately probably impossible. Maybe someone knows exactly where to look for this information, but I do not.
2.2 FMR LLC aka Fidelity (miniboss)
TL;DR for section 2.2: Some of the large black parts of the graph are investment corporations which are not publicly offered and thus do not report who owns their voting stock (that I could find). In this section I investigate Fidelity, one of the largest asset managers in the U.S. and make a case for why the black is justified, not only for Fidelity (the largest contributor by far), but by extension for all private investment institutions. I touch on this private ownership again in section 4 (Citadel). These large black sections should have some gray in them (likely small insider ownership) and sprinkles of white (from the member corporations that make up the real ownership) but are otherwise justified as the black hole that is Megacorp.
Other than making this case, section 2.2 is not fundamental to the larger picture.
-----------------------
Because Fidelity is one of the largest asset managers in the world, I investigated it a bit when putting together my database to try to make a more accurate map. I will go over my findings briefly (my investigation into this could have been more extensive).
My core research tool for this investigation is a [Statement of Additional Information](https://www.amegybank.com/content/dam/abt/amegybank/docs/pws/Fidelity%20Statement%20of%20Additional%20Information.pdf) (SAI) from the Fidelity parent company FMR LLC.
I looked through this source trying to answer the following questions:
1. Who are the primary investors in FMR LLC funds?
2. What rights and influence do institutional investors have over fund management as a portion of the size of their investment in that fund?
3. How much voting stock of FMR LLC is owned by institutions?
4. How much voting stock is owned by "the owners"?
The first questions are important because a great deal of the over [$10 Trillion dollars](https://www.fidelity.com/about-fidelity/our-company/) in managed assets in FMR LLC subsidiaries are in funds. I looked in the [15 U.S. Code Title 15 -- Commerce and Trade](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15), but it was not clear and time is not infinite: there are bigger fish to fry (I did find a juicy tidbit I will disclose later though, so all was not in vain). Fortunately some hints at the answers are found within the SAI itself.
Page 22:
> Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board
So each fund (or fund group?) is managed separately. Some trustees are listed (starting on page 22). There are both "Interested*" and "Independent" Trustees. Most of the Trustees are Independent. So what do the *owners* of the actual company called Fidelity do, pick out bathroom towels?
* Interested Trustee is defined on page 22 as:
> Determined to be an "Interested Trustee" by virtue of, among other things, his or her affiliation with the trust or various entities under common control with FMR.
The main difference I see looking at the descriptions is the Interested are upper management of FMR and the Independent are not employed by FMR. There are only two Interested listed, and eight Independent. It is unclear which fund this board of Trustees manages. If its "all", that goes against what is said above about each fund being managed by its own board. Regardless, there are many more on the Board that are not otherwise affiliated with FMR than are. The Independents are also largely affiliated with other members of Megacorp.
Who owns the voting stock of FMR LLC? According to page 35:
> FMR LLC, as successor by merger to FMR Corp., is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR UK, Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited (FMR H.K.), and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited (FMR Japan). The voting common shares of FMR LLC are divided into two series. Series B is held predominantly by members of the Johnson family, including Abigail P. Johnson, directly or through trusts, and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common shares. Series A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series 35 B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting securities of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.
So the Johnson family owns a "predominant" number of Series B stock, which is entitled (in total) to up to 49% of the vote. The majority of voting stock (51%) is the Series A stock, which is held by other entities, notably FMR LLC's "[affiliates](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/affiliate.asp)" (which could be anyone). Note it also says that the Johnson family *may be deemed* to form a controlling group (they "may" have 25% voting stock AND more than anyone else, or they may not). The word "may" is very important. It doesn't say "shall be deemed", it says "may be deemed". In official documents like this, words matter a great deal as I will show with examples in later sections. The word "may," could be [imperative](https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/May), or it could be [permissive](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/may); it is ambiguous in this statement without further clarification.
So is the Johnson family actually a controlling group? This official document does not state that clearly, so it is unknown if they even *control* the company, much less own it. In fact it states they do not own it, owning at most 49% of the FMR voting stock (it implies it is less, maybe even a lot less). The statement of ownership of funds within this document makes it clear the Johnsons do not own a majority of any fund either (beginning on page 32).
If you look at the fund investors list its almost all banks. Banks are 100% Grade AAA pure Megacorp as I will show later.
This is a small snippet of a fund ownership. Note the "Treasury Portfolio" as it will come into play in later sections.
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up; Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/6ijf37vn01f71.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=98d3fc46643de03a3fee16c84963e0baa9ee2205)](https://preview.redd.it/6ijf37vn01f71.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=98d3fc46643de03a3fee16c84963e0baa9ee2205)
So what do the "owners" of FMR LLC do? (page 35):
> At present, the primary business activities of FMR LLC and its subsidiaries are:
>
> (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors;
Give advice and information.
> (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services;
Act as a broker.
> (iii) the management and development of real estate;
Pick out bathroom towels?
> (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.
Invest in (and operate???) emerging businesses.
That last may be significant, if rather vague. So I guess the managers do something. It still isn't perfectly clear how much operational control the managers actually have. It also isn't clear how easy it is to overrule them if some other entity wishes it; perhaps an entity with possibly even more FMR LLC shares, and/or majority monetary investment "control" of a fund.
Since the vast majority of FMR LLC monetary control seems to lie in the fund trustees, which seem to be membered by different persons depending on the fund, and are not necessarily controlled by the owners of Fidelity, I think it is safe to assume that FMR LLC is, at least in large part, Megacorp as defined; both in the money invested in the company itself (voting shares), and in ultimate control of much of the assets. I believe the Black on my graph is justified. It should probably have some gray (Johnson Insider), though there is no way to determine how much from the information I have seen so far, and certainly will have no Retail white (as a measure of ownership or control).

This is not the end of part 1!!! Stupid 20 image limit killed me.
Edit6: Superstonk mod approved [part 2 here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ows1a2/will_the_real_gme_bbemg_please_stand_up_cont_part/). We are still not sure why it kept getting deleted. I think it was probably a link that was disapproved by a larger Reddit wide automod (though no one has any idea which link it might be). If there are still problems, there are links to two sources for the pdf in the edits below.
Edit5: A mod on DDintoGME approved my [second post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/DDintoGME/comments/owrq55/will_the_real_gme_bbemg_please_stand_up_part_1/). Please let me know if it works. Maybe I can get it to work on Superstonk as well.
Edit: The part 2 post seems to be getting removed for reasons that are unapparent (works perfectly fine for me). I will figure out why and get a working "part 2" link up. In the meantime, [part 2 can be found in the PDF](https://github.com/Slyver12/iterative_treemap_megacorp/blob/main/how_to_take_over_the_world_in_3M_steps_part_1_Finkle_is_Einhorn.pdf) (also linked at the top of the post). Only the intro is different between the pdf and these posts. A few people have said the pdf doesn't fully load for them on github. Most have said it works just fine. It can be downloaded from there as well if you can't get it to fully load.
Edit2: Please let me know if this [link to part 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ows1a2/will_the_real_gme_bbemg_please_stand_up_cont_part/) (of part 1). I think the title was the problem (duplicate title?) Please tell me this fixed it!
Edit3: I've contacted the mods to hopefully figure out why I can't post part 2 (of part 1). If and when they get back to me I will get the link up. In the meantime, please use the pdf hosted on github (linked above).
Edit4: Here is an [alternate link](https://www.docdroid.net/gUhs7kI/how-to-take-over-the-world-in-3m-easy-steps-part-1-finkle-is-einhorn-pdf) to the pdf since some people are having difficulty viewing it on github. I really hope a mod gets back to me on why part 2 won't post. :(

Part 1: Finkle Is Einhorn (cont.)
2.3.0 The Legion of Doom
What about other institutional investors?
Lets look at a few other investment institutions.
In the same vein as BlackRock, here are Bank of America and State Street Corp:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/gcsepmrlh1f71.png?width=1225&format=png&auto=webp&s=f68da8656b20f4bb55875d8fa84c127fa2965fc3)](https://preview.redd.it/gcsepmrlh1f71.png?width=1225&format=png&auto=webp&s=f68da8656b20f4bb55875d8fa84c127fa2965fc3)
2.3.1 Vanguard
Vanguard was difficult. I found an SAI [here](https://www.vanguard.com/pub/Pdf/sai040.pdf) (Investment holdings start on page 34). Since the "owners" of Vanguard are the investors, a general idea of ownership may not be impossible to determine, but precisely how much any one corporation owns is difficult to figure out. This SAI report shows all investors of Vanguard funds that have greater than 5% investment in that fund.
There are multiple classes of shares in each fund (Admiral class, Institutional Select class, etc. as seen in section 2.0), without any obvious listing of how many of each type exist. Figuring out how much of the total Vanguard any institution owns may be difficult, but with other resources it might be possible. What I have created in the database for Vanguard ownership is a guesstimate. The players are correct, but the sizes should not be considered at all accurate (though I did try a little). Because it only shows investors above 5% in any one fund, if an institution (or person) were to invest 4.99% in all funds they would own 4.99% of the entire company (half a trillion investment), making them possibly one of the largest holders, yet they would never show up in a report of ownership. So take the sizes and even the players with a grain of salt. At best it's not completely *inaccurate* and potentially representative. Regardless it shows that institutional investment is very large, and by the same companies that have investment in the rest of the market (Megacorp).
BlackRock is suspiciously absent from the stated Vanguard investors. You would think the largest investor in the world would be heavily invested in the second largest. It is certainly true in reverse. Vanguard has 8% of the institutional shares of [Blackrock](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BLK/holders?p=BLK).
However, as I showed in the map above of BlackRock (BR) it shows Merrill Lynch owning 44% of BR as an insider institutional investor. Merrill Lynch is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America. The Bank of America/Merrill Lynch combo is the largest broker/dealer for Vanguard funds (page 54), and ML owns a sizable portion of Vanguard (page 40). So there is a link back to BR through ML/BoA. Not that that is necessary. Every other company that invests in Vanguard heavily is also owned by Blackrock. E.g. [Charles Schwab](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SCHW/holders?p=SCHW) has Blackrock as its second highest institutional investor (Vanguard is the highest).
To the best of my guesstimate ability, here is Vanguard:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/7x6zqsomh1f71.png?width=1225&format=png&auto=webp&s=cca835036e1a023761cbc78c6720f8052405f780)](https://preview.redd.it/7x6zqsomh1f71.png?width=1225&format=png&auto=webp&s=cca835036e1a023761cbc78c6720f8052405f780)
These few companies are not a comprehensive list. They are *all* the same. Every single one. Every investment firm in the world that is publicly traded, and I suspect every one that is private.
2.3.2 The Bestest Company In The Whole Wide World
Megacorp ownership dominates every corner of our human existence.
It owns all the places you shop:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/qz4uks5nh1f71.png?width=935&format=png&auto=webp&s=4adfc2b98387dca18971bcf51e886e38664f4257)](https://preview.redd.it/qz4uks5nh1f71.png?width=935&format=png&auto=webp&s=4adfc2b98387dca18971bcf51e886e38664f4257)
It owns the grocery stores, the food manufacturers and even the farms that grow the food:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/c78wz7xnh1f71.png?width=920&format=png&auto=webp&s=84a957000da25170431bfe4f0e754c849e07d568)](https://preview.redd.it/c78wz7xnh1f71.png?width=920&format=png&auto=webp&s=84a957000da25170431bfe4f0e754c849e07d568)
It owns the construction companies that build houses and buildings, the raw materials harvesters and processors (lumber, mining, oil, etc.) that supply them, and the companies that sell them:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/vsq6l6eoh1f71.png?width=930&format=png&auto=webp&s=53e672cdd0baed532987b6a017d70637183d97a9)](https://preview.redd.it/vsq6l6eoh1f71.png?width=930&format=png&auto=webp&s=53e672cdd0baed532987b6a017d70637183d97a9)
When all of the major investing corporations are really just one investment corporation and that one investment corporation owns the majority (or super mega majority in most cases) of the voting stock of all the companies in the world large enough to make a blip, who really decides what choices our favorite companies make? Who decides who is CEO? Even if Megacorp isn't directly represented at a typical board meeting, as a 0.69% owner of your "own company" do you say "no" to the 98% owner that puts the "black" in BlackRock? (I'm looking at you [Mr. Fink](https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nyse/blk/ownership).)
BlackRock Inc
| Name | Hold | Shares | Value | Type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Laurence Fink | 0.69% | 1,058,506 | $917.58M | Insider |
I'm not saying there's a conspiracy to say... control the whole entire economic world. I'm just providing evidence that supports the idea that if a group of people at the top of this mess wanted to, *they are all set up to do so*. Many of these investment firms and banks that make up Megacorp have been around for well over a century, some for [more than two centuries](https://www.oldest.org/structures/banks-usa/), owned by the same families that own them now (at least in part). (Compare the last four oldest banking institutions in that link to Megacorp).
This investigation causes a few questions for me. Does someone (whatever "someone" means) own the entire world? If so, why? Is "greed" (in monetary terms) really applicable at that scale? It's the entire planet; its resources, goods, services... everything looks black in the ownership map. What would be the motive behind such potential economic control of the entire world? And if its true that someone *already* owns everything, why the pretense?
2.4 The Dogfight
Does Megacorp mean there is no actual competition between say, Intel and AMD, or Big Five and REI, etc.? No, I do not think that is true at all. I think that all companies that "play ball" get to play ball. When a master owns many dogs, and he takes them out to play fetch, all the dogs chase after the ball when its thrown with everything in them, but only one brings it back. The dogs are in full competition at all times, vying for that extra treat, or pat on the head. No matter which dog gets the ball though, it always returns to the same master.
In the same way, someone (person, group, family, group of families, Board of Supers, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, whatthefuckever?!?) is making a buck off of (and potentially controlling???) every transaction in the world, from the bottom to top of the production chain in every industry.
2.5 Monopolies Are Illegal, But Megaloogalopolies We Are Totally OK With
With the massive shared ownership of Megacorp in mind, when I was trying to figure out Fidelity I came across this little morsel. According to the [Investment Company Act of 1940](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/80a-20):
> (c) Prohibition on purchase of securities knowingly resulting in cross-ownership or circular ownership
>
> No registered investment company shall purchase any voting security if, to the knowledge of such registered company, cross-ownership or circular ownership exists, or after such acquisition will exist, between such registered company and the issuer of such security. Cross-ownership shall be deemed to exist between two companies when each of such companies beneficially owns more than 3 per centum of the outstanding voting securities of the other company. Circular ownership shall be deemed to exist between two companies if such companies are included within a group of three or more companies, each of which---
>
> (1)
>
> beneficially owns more than 3 per centum of the outstanding voting securities of one or more other companies of the group; and
>
> (2)
>
> has more than 3 per centum of its own outstanding voting securities beneficially owned by another company, or by each of two or more other companies, of the group.
Hmm. Well ain't that a peach.
3.0 Finkle Is Einhorn
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/lbfzlufph1f71.png?width=408&format=png&auto=webp&s=9003bf400d7c01afaab0f3763707c4531122e3a2)](https://preview.redd.it/lbfzlufph1f71.png?width=408&format=png&auto=webp&s=9003bf400d7c01afaab0f3763707c4531122e3a2)
3.0.1 Blackrock Is Citadel?
TL;DR for part 3.0.1: BlackRock (The Big Long) is Citadel (The Big Short). They are two sides of the same Megacorp coin. One controls the longs, one controls the shorts, together they (and their incestuous siblings/clones/other doors to the same Megacorp company) control the entire market.
Other than making a case for this statement, section 3.0.1 is not fundamental to the larger picture.
------------------------
In the light of an appreciation for Megacorp, is Citadel just one more door into the Megacorp building? Citadel is a whole slew of companies; each one locked up tighter than a drum. It really is a castle. Who do the walls of this castle protect? I don't know. In trying to find out I feel like I'm trying to scratch an itch I can't reach.
Scouring the internet I have found a few documents that link Citadel with Megacorp, and thus with Blackrock. I have not found the smoking gun that proves Citadel is just another head of hydra (aka owned by Megacorp), but I have found intimate links of company and money management jointly by Megacorp and Citadel.
I think its important to look into this relationship. If Citadel is really just another facade for Megacorp, then Megacorp may be ultimately responsible for covering the shorts. If Blackrock and all of the other institutional owners are responsible for covering the shorts through Megacorp and institutional ownership of Citadel, than their shares are not "the Whale", and they are not waiting to "profit" from the MOASS. They could even be an active part of the effort to keep MOASS from happening, using their long position as leverage. If direct ownership is established, it may even be that their long shares will go directly to cover the shorts when MOASS finally happens, meaning there is zero (less than zero really) actual institutional ownership in GME.
[This](https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/148826/PDF/148826.pdf)[ is a sheet for CITADEL ADVISORS LLC](https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/148826/PDF/148826.pdf) that details funds that they manage. There are numerous funds here. I will pick one of the larger ones to illustrate some connections (page 156 in the linked document). This is one of many similar funds in this document.
- Fund name: [CITADEL MULTI-STRATEGY EQUITIES MASTER FUND LTD](https://privatefunddata.com/private-funds/citadel-multi-strategy-equities-master-fund-ltd/)
- Type: Hedge Fund
- Size of private fund: $66.7 billion.
- Approximate owned by Citadel: 1%
- Approximate owned by US citizens: 79%
- [Prime Brokers](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/professionals/110415/role-prime-broker.asp) of the private fund (*a prime broker manages the fund*):
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/9s68srlqh1f71.png?width=411&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9f8895ba515806eeaa44ecd5071373ce29fafe7)](https://preview.redd.it/9s68srlqh1f71.png?width=411&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9f8895ba515806eeaa44ecd5071373ce29fafe7)
- Custodians of the private fund (*custodian holds the assets*)
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/innkdtjrh1f71.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=6af750b5d6c0ddb3ff59a62dcf8cbf35a96748b1)](https://preview.redd.it/innkdtjrh1f71.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=6af750b5d6c0ddb3ff59a62dcf8cbf35a96748b1)
- Administrator of the fund (*other than Citadel*)
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/w6iweiksh1f71.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b1ccf5aa5d64d5b711fdcfe244f4c8023ade4c6)](https://preview.redd.it/w6iweiksh1f71.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b1ccf5aa5d64d5b711fdcfe244f4c8023ade4c6)
This shows just one of the many funds like it that Citadel "manages". It is completely owned by Megacorp. It is managed by Megacorp. It is held by Megacorp. And it is administrated by Megacorp. Included in this is Merrill Lynch (primary shareholder of BlackRock). Keep that in mind, I'll get back to it.
According to the FINRA profile for [Citadel Securities LLC](https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/firm/firm_116797.pdf) (page 5) their primary shareholder (75%+ ownership (which could be up to 100%)) is CSHC US LLC. There is no SEC report for CSHC US LLC, but there is an [LEI (legal entity identifier) report](https://lei.report/LEI/5493003L1TTLSPDRMU94). This shows (I believe) that CSHC US LLC is the big daddy Citadel parent company.
(For more information about Citadel Securities see [Citadel Has No Clothes](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m4c0p4/citadel_has_no_clothes/) by [u/attobit](https://www.reddit.com/user/attobit).)
Looking up [CSHC US LLC](https://opencorpdata.com/lei/5493003L1TTLSPDRMU94) I find their main address is
```
THE CORPORATION TRUST COMPANY
CORPORATION TRUST CENTER 1209 ORANGE ST
WILMINGTON DELAWARE 19801
```
Guess who else has that as a primary address:
[BLACKROCK CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.](https://opencorpdata.com/lei/5493007UCDU4QX1ZZI35) and God alone knows how many other [Blackrock companies](https://opencorpdata.com/lei?q=corporation+trust+company+blackrock) and [other similar companies](https://opencorpdata.com/lei?q=corporation+trust+company).
This is not proof of a connection. The Corporation Trust Company is the registered agent (legal representative) for *hundreds of thousands* of corporations. I wonder how many of them are owned by Megacorp.
I am not providing evidence of anything other than a shared address of incorporation here. It does beg the question though, why are both of these companies incorporated at the same address?
Due to very welcoming laws and lenient courts there are [many reasons](https://www.upcounsel.com/why-incorporate-in-delaware) to incorporate in Delaware; one of the biggest being the [privacy reasons](https://goremote.virtualpostmail.com/article/reasons-you-should-form-your-business-in-delaware).
> Delaware LLCs are not required to list member names and addresses in their filings. Members and managers are only specified in the LLC's operating agreement, which is private by nature. Therefore, ownership and management information is not recorded and available as public records. For asset holdings and protection, LLCs are generally the preferred way to go. Corporations can also be filed without listing shareholders, directors or officers on the public record if you were to make use of a third party incorporation service. However, every Delaware corporation is required to make a Franchise Tax payment every year and, in doing so, must list the names and addresses of the company's directors and one officer. Shareholders, however, do not need to be specified and therefore have privacy protection.
THE CORPORATION TRUST COMPANY is (I believe) the largest registered agent in the world. It is used ironically by those corporations that are the least trustworthy. Incorporating in Delaware allows a company to not disclose their ownership. So we know who owns Citadel, but we still have no way of knowing who owns the company that owns Citadel (CSHC US LLC) through this avenue.
Looking at [this DD](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ns7k6q/could_gamestops_liftoff_unravel_corporate_junk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) by [u/Get-It-Got](https://www.reddit.com/user/Get-It-Got) they look at shared interests between Blackrock and Citadel using [whalewidom.com](https://whalewisdom.com/). They say:
> "Something curious about Blackrock ... you really have to dig deep to find anything other than long share positions. In fact, not a single one of their largest positions in $$$$ is in options. Take look: <https://whalewisdom.com/filer/blackrock-inc#tabholdings_tab_link>
>
> Citadel, on the other hand, nothing but options as far as the eye can see. They love the shit (probably because it's easy to run complex shenanigans with derivatives).
>
> It's almost like Blackrock and Citadel have this arrangement ... Blackrock buys and holds the shares then lends them to Citadel so they can short them, rehypothicate them, do all kinds of fuckery in options, etc. to fuck over retail investors. Blackrock has Citadel by the balls, Citadel has retail investors by the balls, ya-da-ya-da-ya-da."
This also does not prove Citadel is Megacorp, or that Citadel and Blackrock are two sides of the same coin, *but it is evidence of that.*
[u/gfountyyc](https://www.reddit.com/user/gfountyyc) was looking into a [BofA Citadel connection](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nm1d65/bank_of_america_and_the_citadel_connection/) and found a few tidbits of interest. They link to a [Statement of Financial Condition 12/31/2020](https://sec.report/Document/0001616344-21-000004/CDRG_StmtFinCndtn2020.pdf). On page 8 that statement says:
> Credit Risk
>
> Credit risk is the risk of losses due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Since the Company does not clear all of its own securities transactions, it has established accounts with other financial institutions for this purpose. This can, and often does, result in a concentration of credit risk with one or more of these institutions. A substantial portion of the Company's options, clearing and financing activities are with a Bank of America Merrill Lynell subsidiary ("BAML"). These positions are recorded al fair value under securities owned on the statement of financial condition. This results in a concentration of operational and credit risks with BAML.
This shows a clear financial link and possible shared responsibility for naked shorting between BofA and Citadel. Given the link between Blackrock and ML (BofA), and certainly a link between Megacorp and Citadel through BofA at the least, it seems that there is evidence that Blackrock and the rest of the long institutional (Megacorp) positions in GME are fiscally linked to Citadel's shorts.
As for Kenny Griffin; he is just the face on the door of Citadel. I don't think that he is anything more than a Megacorp hire. He is doing the short selling he is told to do by that singular, market controlling entity. Any focus on Kenny, while fun, is a red herring.
3.0.2 Apes Is GameStop
What does the ownership map of GME look like?
Here is the map according to wallstreetzen.com. Note that instead of white for Retail and gray for Insider I have made Retail light red, and Insider red; because its my program and I can do what I want to:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/i14t9nwth1f71.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e1b6f06bac6e34d7d47a55554dfcfabc7172205)](https://preview.redd.it/i14t9nwth1f71.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e1b6f06bac6e34d7d47a55554dfcfabc7172205)
However, I do not think this is the real ownership.
I think that Megacorp owns Citadel, and I think that Apes own several times the entirety of the "available" stock. If I assume that the total shares sold (and bought by Retail) is the 21% listed on public databases plus two times more than the total legal shares sold (~225M total shares and ~180M total Ape shares) and that Megacorp shares are going to cover the shorts, then the real GME ownership looks like this:
[![r/Superstonk - Will The Real GME BBEMG Please Stand Up (cont) Part 1: FINKLE IS EINHORN](https://preview.redd.it/8sn4iheuh1f71.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=a61ec4c5799c97dbe4eb2e966767f0ba359b0624)](https://preview.redd.it/8sn4iheuh1f71.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=a61ec4c5799c97dbe4eb2e966767f0ba359b0624)
This would make GME unique (in all the world) in that it has no Megacorp ownership, meaning no leverage, meaning GME can do whatever the fuck they want.
It also means we own it.
TL;DR AKA Key Takeaways:
1. There is only one company in the world. Its name is Megacorp.
2. Citadel is BlackRock, BlackRock is Citadel, Citadel is a Scam.
3. When [Marge calls](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/margincall.asp), there may very well be a fiscal responsibility between the institutional longs and the shorts. That means that in order to get the most juice from the squeeze, Apes will need to hold not only the float, but also all of the institutional long position as well (+30M shares); a total of about 50-60M shares.
4. We own GameStop
This is Part 1 of a much longer, and quite frankly much more eye opening (than this part) report. Part 2 will be soon as it is nearly complete. Part 3 is going to take a while to finish, but I'm working on it.

The last time that inflation has 3 consecutive months in the 5% range was June, July, and August of 2008. The crash then happened on September 29. Like all TA this is not an indicator of a crash but there is a strong correlation of the power of the dollar skyrocketing, weakening economic power, and a stock market crash.

I'm not gonna lie GME constantly closing with some variation of 69 in the price makes me feel like I'm in a simulation but here it is. Today was a bit odd there was some degree of ETF shorting going on but on GME itself no ITM puts and no shares borrowed only returned. If this continues tomorrow I will start to wonder why?

Pre-Market Analysis
Failed a test at 155 a little around 4am with 700k shares to borrow on Iborrow and 992k on Fidelity.
If we see some strong upward momentum they have 1.6m shares with which to short.

Good Morning Apes!
Welcome to another day of not getting fleeced by our CEO. Remember when running a successful business you don't need to constantly lie to your shareholders and the shareholders of other companies to stay afloat. You can actually just keep your mouth shut and get shit done.

After Market
The big short attack today with the market dip drove us down a bit but we had a sold bounce at 155 and trended up for the rest of the day. The volume is still very low and until some interest flows back into the stock it is going to continue to be easy for the SHFs/MMs to manipulate the price. Thank you all for tuning in and I'll see you tomorrow.

Pre-Market Analysis
Update forgot that borrowed shares 865k, and 32k volume
Gapped up in pre-market to test 166 and settled above yesterday's key resistance at 162.5 looking very good for an opening test of 170 after the obligatory short ? Hard to say, let us see if they continue to leave the stock alone for another day. I expect some volatility from leading statements by a certain "popcorn don" as he attempts to tie his failing business to Ryan Cohen's coattails. Since the number of GME/AMC related ETFs starts to narrow in scope the SHFs desire to see these stocks attached at the hip has never been more apparent.

Good Morning Apes!
Today after the regular stream I'm going to go live with Jaime from over at Tradespotting.
I'm pretty excited as he is more of a technical analysis guy like myself. So I'm hoping we can get more into the things I'm looking at for the near term, as well as his views on the direction the stock is taking.
Anyway it should be a good time check it out.

Premarket Analysis
220k shares borrowed back this morning. After yesterday's drop of 615k we have already retested 160 I'd imagine that position is gonna get locked up for a while. Pre-Market volume is absolute garbage at 4k currently, but we have a nice gap to fill back up to test 165. I would watch early run ups as they are obviously expecting to short again I'm sure they will wait for an advantageous market downturn.

We actually stuck the MACD crossover yesterday on the 1D, so any positive action today should continue that trend.

Here is how we are looking on our predicted positive trend, the low volume is keeping the price down but otherwise the trend is holding up. It's a bit ridiculous that it now takes 3 days to confirm a bounce on this stock but hopefully we will see some relevant volume today to really cement this trend.

Good Morning Apes!
I wanna say thank you all so much for the support and compliments on the latest collaboration I did with Tradespotting. It was really fun I never get to talk to people in real life that way about GME and so I definitely had a blast.
If you guys haven't had a chance to [check it out here is a link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT-8XqqQcug)*.
Today looks promising if we can hold above that 162.5 trendline and confirm that bounce I will expect the next run up to begin. As we know every run-up could be our last. With bid/ask spread peaking at $24 yesterday I am still convinced of that violent upside potential.

Nice to have an actual green day looking very good on this continued uptrend since the bounce last week. A little more volume coming in today but the bid/ask is still wide and the stock remains illiquid. We are on a decent trajectory to end this week above max pain.

Failed another test of 162 looks like we are bouncing off VWAP the trend is good but the volume is still garbage

Pre-Market Analysis
Holy shit pre-market volume at the time of writing this (8:10) is sub 2k shares traded. If this keeps we might be in for a sub 750k volume day. 200k shares left to borrow. Even with all that we are up about .61% in pre-market already having tested 162.

After Market Party
Well we fucking did it! We closed 2.50 above max pain for the first time since the share offering. The shorts and MMs are starting to lose ground the signals are lining up and we are ready for another run. Expect this trend to accelerate into next week as we begin our turnaround. Thank you all for the great week and support, see you Monday!

Edit 4 2:34
Dropped out of that earlier channel and bounced back at 161 after a share borrow of 50k. Still looks like we will trend up into EOD but the volume remains stagnant 720k traded so far.

Continuing our uptrend while mms and shfs try to avoid jumping the ask it's pretty fun to watch even though it is very slow but...only up for now

Edit 2 12:17
Came up a little bit volume is still dry @ 475k some of the borrowed shares were returned. We have had a few 0 volume minutes like yesterday so I'm looking for a bit of a run going into power hour.

Edit 1 11:00
Haven't been able to post this all morning. Slid down at open with shorts and about 500m in ITM options coming we've now popped up above VWAP and are chopping. Volume is really low @ 350k so far.

Pre-Market Analysis
Volume this morning is complete garbage again only 5k shares traded so far. 465k shares borrowed this morning so expect shorting, especially because today is the first Friday we have opened above max pain in weeks (currently at 160). The bid ask spread keeps getting wider as liquidity continues to drop and apes take advantage of the fire sale. We are also sitting right on the edge of that gamma ramp so if we see some upward price action today the SHFs are going to have to work against the MMs to drop the price, Should be an interesting Friday...

Effective October 1st, Big Banks required to have $1 Trillion dollar of High Quality Reserves on hand. Result of Federal Reserve most recent Stress Test.

Following its stress test earlier this year, the Federal Reserve Board on Thursday announced the individual capital requirements for all large banks, effective on October 1. Those capital requirements ensure that the large banks tested will hold roughly $1 trillion in high-quality capital—enough to survive a severe recession and still be able to lend to households and businesses.
Large bank capital requirements are in part determined by the Board's stress test results, which provide a risk-sensitive and forward-looking assessment of capital needs. The below table shows the total common equity tier 1, or CET1, capital requirements for each bank, which is made up of several components, including:
Minimum capital requirement, which is the same for each firm and is 4.5 percent;
The stress capital buffer, or SCB, requirement, which is determined from the stress test results, and is at least 2.5 percent; and
If applicable, a capital surcharge for global systemically important banks, or G-SIBs, which is at least 1.0 percent.
The Board also affirmed the stress test results for one bank that requested reconsideration, HSBC North America Holdings Inc. The reconsideration process involved an independent group—separate from the stress testing group—that analyzed and evaluated the results. While affirming HSBC's stress test results for this cycle, the Board also directed the staff to conduct a closer examination of issues raised in the reconsideration process to inform continuing improvements in its stress testing methodology for next year's stress tests.

SEC Charges International Microcap Fraud Scheme Participants
============================================================
| Author | Source |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\
2021-148
Washington D.C., Aug. 9, 2021 ---
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced an emergency action charging nine individuals, including a public company chairman, for their participation in long-running fraudulent schemes that collectively generated hundreds of millions of dollars from unlawful stock sales and caused significant harm to retail investors in the United States and around the world. The SEC has obtained emergency relief in court, including an order to freeze the defendants' assets.
According to the SEC's complaint unsealed today, Canadian resident Frederick L. Sharp masterminded a complex scheme from 2011 to 2019 in which he and his associates -- Canadian residents Zhiying Yvonne Gasarch and Courtney Kelln -- enabled control persons of microcap companies whose stock was publicly traded in the U.S. securities markets to conceal their control and ownership of huge amounts of penny stock.  They then surreptitiously dumped the stock into the U.S. markets in violation of federal securities laws.  The services Sharp and his associates allegedly provided included furnishing networks of offshore shell companies to conceal stock ownership, arranging stock transfers and money transmittals, and providing encrypted accounting and communications systems.  According to the complaint, Sharp and his associates facilitated over a billion dollars in gross sales in hundreds of penny stock companies.
The complaint alleges that one group of control persons comprised of Canadian residents Mike K. Veldhuis, Paul Sexton, and Jackson T. Friesen frequently collaborated with Sharp to dump huge stock positions while hiding their control positions and stock promotional activities from the investing public.  The complaint further alleges that California resident Avtar S. Dhillon, who chaired the boards of directors of four of the public companies whose stocks were fraudulently sold during the schemes, reaped millions in illicit proceeds from those illegal sales. Dhillon was allegedly complicit with Veldhuis and his associates as well as with others, including Canadian resident Graham R. Taylor. According to the complaint, Maryland resident William T. Kaitz worked as a promoter and allegedly touted stocks that Veldhuis, Sexton, and Friesen simultaneously planned to sell, while concealing their roles.
The SEC filed a related action on Aug. 4, 2021, charging Mexican resident Luis Jimenez Carrillo for engaging in deceptive penny stock schemes that generated more than $75 million from the fraudulent sales of multiple microcap companies' stock. Carrillo, who allegedly utilized Sharp's services, partnered with Canadian resident Amar Bahadoorsingh and United Kingdom residents Justin Roger Wall and Jamie Samuel Wilson on at least one of the schemes.
"The SEC is committed to rooting out fraudulent attacks on our financial markets by bad actors in the United States and around the world," said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "Those who scheme to defraud retail investors, as we allege these defendants did, should know that they cannot hide behind sophisticated structures or international borders."  
"We charge that the defendants created a network that enabled them to engage in multiple fraudulent schemes, making millions of dollars in unlawful profits at the expense of retail investors," said Paul Levenson, Regional Director of the SEC's Boston Regional Office.  "Among other things, the emergency relief we have obtained will preserve assets to potentially be returned to harmed investors."
The SEC's complaint, which was filed in federal district court in Boston, charges Sharp, Kelln, Veldhuis, Sexton, Friesen, and Dhillon with violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws. Veldhuis, Sexton, Friesen, and Dhillon are also charged with violating reporting provisions of the federal securities laws.  Taylor, Gasarch, and Kaitz are each charged with violating one or more of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. Taylor, Sharp, Kelln, Gasarch, and Kaitz are also charged with aiding and abetting violations by other defendants.  In addition to the asset freeze and other temporary relief obtained, the SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, conduct based injunctions, disgorgement of allegedly ill-gotten gains plus interest, civil penalties, penny stock bars, and an officer and director bar for Dhillon.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts announced parallel criminal charges against Sharp, Kelln, Veldhuis, Dhillon, and Carrillo.
The SEC's case is being handled by Trevor Donelan, Eric Forni, Kathleen Shields, and Amy Gwiazda in the Boston Regional Office; Katherine Bromberg of the Enforcement Division's Retail Strategy Task Force; and Edward Gerard, Lee Buck, and Shipra Wells with the assistance of Marlee Miller and Owen Granke of the Office of International Affairs, Alex Lefferts of the Enforcement Division's Office of Investigative & Market Analytics, and Suman Beros of the IT Forensics Lab. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Alberta Securities Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Argentina Comisión Nacional de Valores, the Securities Commission of The Bahamas, the Colombia Fiscalía General de la Nación, the Curaçao Korps Landelijke Politiediensten, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, the Dominican Republic Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores, the German Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, the Latvia Financial and Capital Market Commission, the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority, the Bank of Lithuania, the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Mauritius Financial Services Commission, the Mexican Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority, the Panamanian Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores, the St. Lucia Financial Intelligence Authority, the Securities Commission of Serbia, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, the United Arab Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority, the Dubai Financial Services Authority, and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

# The Fed Just Published 36 Years of its Money Data. It Shows a Spike in Repo Loans Is an Early Warning of an Impending Market Crash
| Author | Source |
| :-------------: |:-------------:|
| [Pam Martens and Russ Martens](https://wallstreetonparade.com/about-3/about/) | [wallstreetonparade.com](https://wallstreetonparade.com/2021/08/the-fed-just-published-36-years-of-its-money-data-it-shows-a-spike-in-repo-loans-is-an-early-warning-of-an-impending-market-crash/) |
---
On July 29 the Federal Reserve released its [Annual Report for 2020](https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/2020-annual-report.pdf). The Appendix contains 13 statistical tables that would make most folks' eyes glaze over.
Table G.5A., however, is worthy of a glass of good wine, a comfy arm chair, and some serious musing. That table provides a 36-year history of, among other things, the Fed's deployment of Repurchase Agreements (Repo Loans) at the outbreak of a crisis; its Loans and Other Credit Extensions; and its Securities Held Outright -- which have exploded since the Fed adopted Quantitative Easing (QE) in 2008. QE is the Fed's wonky expression for it buying up trillions of dollars in notes and bonds to push interest rates down to near zero, thus forcing money in search of a return into the stock market, which is majority-owned by the top 10 percent of the wealthiest Americans. In other words, QE is a wealth transfer system in drag as monetary policy.
To keep our analysis of Table G.5A. as clear as possible, we've extracted in the charts below the first three columns of the table. Notice that Repurchase Agreements (Repo Loans) exploded from $30.37 billion at the end of 1998 to $140.64 billion at the end of 1999 -- an increase of 363 percent in one year.
Now, this is the epiphany moment: year end 1999 was just 70 days away from the start of the Dot.com bust. The Nasdaq stock market would set a closing high of 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. The Nasdaq then proceeded to lose 78 percent of its value over the next 2-1/2 years. Nasdaq reached a closing low of 1,114.11 on October 9, 2002.
If you were wise to the siren sound of the spike in Repo Loans at the Fed, you could have escaped that 4,000 points of carnage.
But, of course, this single occurrence does not make a fool-proof case. So, next we looked at the explosion in Repurchase Agreements (Repo Loans) from the end of 2007 to the end of 2008. They went from $46.5 billion to $80 billion -- an increase of 72 percent. But, remember, by year end 2008 the Fed had moved from bailing out Wall Street with Repo Loans to pumping out money through an alphabet soup of emergency lending operations. So, you have to also look at the third column, "Loans and other credit extensions." That exploded from $72.6 billion at the end of 2007 to $1.6 trillion (*yes, trillion*) at the end of 2008. (You can see the actual breakdown of those emergency lending facilities on the Fed's H.4.1 balance sheet for Wednesday, December 24, 2008 [here](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/20081229/).)
The Wall Street crash of 2008 was the worst financial calamity the U.S. had experienced since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It left millions of Americans jobless and unable to pay their mortgage, which resulted in millions of foreclosures. The crisis resulted from the Fed and other regulators' failures to rein in unprecedented corruption at the banks. Unrepentant Wall Street bankers used billions of dollars of the bailout funds [to pay themselves million dollar bonuses](https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=8214818&page=1).
From year-end 2009 through year-end 2018 the Fed reported zero amounts of Repurchase Agreements (Repo Loans) because there was no cataclysmic stock market crash. But beginning on September 17, 2019, the Fed went into panic mode again and began shoveling out Repo Loans to its primary dealers (the trading houses owned by the mega banks on Wall Street) by hundreds of billions of dollars.
These are some of the headlines and articles that we ran at Wall Street On Parade during that period of time:

**January 6, 2020**: [Federal Reserve Admits It Pumped More than $6 Trillion to Wall Street in Recent Six Week Period](https://wallstreetonparade.com/2020/01/federal-reserve-admits-it-pumped-more-than-6-trillion-to-wall-street-in-recent-six-week-period/)
This is just a tiny sampling of our reporting during the last four months of 2019 and early January 2020. To read the more than 100 articles on the Fed's Repo Loans and bailouts in 2019 to the present, see our special [archives here](https://wallstreetonparade.com/9426-2/).
As regular readers of *Wall Street On Parade* know well, we have pounded the drum for two years now regarding the fact that the Fed's massive deployment of Repo Loans beginning on September 17, 2019 was the actual start date of both the latest Wall Street crisis and the ensuing bailout of Wall Street, rather than the Wall Street crisis starting with the pandemic.
According to Johns Hopkins' [timeline of the pandemic](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/covid-19-timeline-for-johns-hopkins-medicine), the first case of the coronavirus was confirmed in the United States on January 21, 2020 -- four months *after* the Fed initiated its monster amounts of Repo Loans. The Repo Loans grew exponentially in September, October, November and December of 2019. But both the Fed and mainstream media have decided to characterize the mega Wall Street banks as providing strength in the pandemic, rather than the uncomfortable fact that their bailout began four months *prior* to the coronavirus outbreak. Acknowledging that reality is essential to acknowledgment that the Fed is a failed federal regulator of the Wall Street mega banks and Congress must radically restructure the regulatory regime and strip the Fed of its supervisory powers over the banks.
The Fed's Repo Loans in the fall of 2019 were followed by a market crash in the first quarter of 2020. From January 1, 2020 through March 23, 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 35 percent of its value but the mega banks on Wall Street lost 40 to 50 percent of their market value. Those banks included Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America.
As it currently stands, the Fed's supervisory plan is nothing more than to create money electronically out of thin air and throw it by the trillions of dollars at Wall Street every time something blows up at these heavily interconnected mega banks.
And here is the most dangerous part of this non-plan. Exactly who is going to bail out the Fed. If you look at the first column in the charts below, "Securities Held Outright," it shows that from 1984 through 2000, securities held by the Fed went from $167.6 billion to $511.8 billion -- an increase of 205 percent over that span of 16 years. But from 2001 through 2020, a span of 19 years, holdings of securities by the Fed grew astronomically from $551.69 billion to $6.7 *trillion* -- an increase of 1,114 percent.
Who would be on the hook to bail out the Fed if it came to that? The American people. In May of last year, we explained in detail, using statements published by the Fed itself, why [American taxpayers are on the hook for 98 percent of the Fed's balance sheet](https://wallstreetonparade.com/2020/05/taxpayers-are-on-the-hook-for-98-percent-of-the-feds-6-98-trillion-balance-sheet/). At that time, the Fed's balance sheet stood at $6.98 trillion. Today, it's balance sheet is $8.28 trillion.
If you care about the future of your country, or your children's future, pick up the phone today and call your Senators and demand hearings on structurally reforming Wall Street and its regulators, and stripping the Fed of its supervisory powers over the banks. The Fed needs to return to its core mission as a central bank, rather than functioning as Wall Street's Sugar Daddy.

[𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲](https://www.reddit.com/r/DDintoGME/search?q=flair_name%3A%22%F0%9D%97%A5%F0%9D%97%B2%F0%9D%98%80%F0%9D%97%BC%F0%9D%98%82%F0%9D%97%BF%F0%9D%97%B0%F0%9D%97%B2%22&restrict_sr=1)
So [u/Zinko83](https://www.reddit.com/u/Zinko83/) and I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of brokers which offer IEX routing. Thanks to all apes who have helped with useful information, to help create this guide. All information have been gathered by either me contacting each broker, or numerous fellow apes who have helped investigate.
So as I said the goal is to compile a list of brokers whom do IEX routing, along with a link to some DD which shows how to route your trades through IEX with each listed broker.
**Saxo Bank:** They offer IEX routing, however it's not controllable, they route their buys through the exchange with the best execution. You cannot decide for yourself. This includes both Citadel and IEX. Would therefore not recommend. Verified by [u/HelloYouBeautiful](https://www.reddit.com/u/HelloYouBeautiful/)
**Fidelity:** Does not support this at the moment. There is a huge push from customers to gain this ability, however they are not acting on this as of yet.
**TD Ameritrade:** Offers routing through IEX only for US customers. Verified by [u/TheWildsLife](https://www.reddit.com/u/TheWildsLife/)  [TD Ameritrade IEX routing guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mq8opq/how_to_use_investors_exchange_iex_with_td/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
**IBKR:** Offers routing through IEX to clients worldwide. Verified by [u/HelloYouBeautiful](https://www.reddit.com/u/HelloYouBeautiful/) IBKR [IEX routing guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/p2deaf/guide_routing_order_through_iex_on_ibkr/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and [IBKR IEX routing guide 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/oyf30z/ibkr_tradestation_how_to_avoid_dark_pools_and/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
**E\*Trade:** Offers routing through IEX, unsure offered in Europe, but definately offered to US clients. Verified by [u/Zinko83](https://www.reddit.com/u/Zinko83/) [E\*Trade IEX routing guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/GMEJungle/comments/p1duq3/etrade_pro_desktop_install_and_route_through_iex/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
**Revolut:** Does not offer IEX routing.
**Degiro:** Does not offer IEX routing.
**Charles Schwab:** Does not offer IEX routing. They would strongly consider if enough retail made a push for it. However I, myself, would not wait for a broker to act. Instead I would voice my opinion to them, and in the meantime choose a different broker for IEX routing. Verified by calling customer support [u/HelloYouBeautiful](https://www.reddit.com/u/HelloYouBeautiful/)
**Tiger Brokers:** Does not offer IEX routing.
As a supplement to this guide I recommend a great guide by [u/socrates6210](https://www.reddit.com/u/socrates6210/) which lays out nicely which brokers turned off buying in January, who they use for clearing and etc. It is an excellent write up. [The Broker Preparation Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mowzjk/the_broker_preparation_guide/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Again, we are just trying to help. Any verifications and information that is missing is more than welcome to bring it to my attention and I will edit as necessary.
Edit: No canadian brokers support IEX. They use the best execution price, which on some days is up to 50% (according to data from other posts) in darkpools controlled by citadel. Same goes for most european brokers. In this list there is brokers that accept clients worldwide. Euro and canadian apes can open an account on one of the international brokers, to route their future buys through IEX. As for UK, you can use TradeStation.

# Janet Yellen Accused of Banking Corruption
| Author | Source |

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/82035192/128867482-9cd6a882-a49d-4641-9c21-733dc1c2d04d.png)
The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been accused of corruption due to receiving $7.2 million in 'speaking fees' from just Citi bank and the Citadel hedge fund.
"Since much of America was locked down in 2020, those speeches are almost all Zoom calls, done from her home. $7.2 million total," Bruce Fenton, a long time bitcoiner, [says](https://twitter.com/brucefenton/status/1424009674832158726).
Yellen's [official](https://extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden.nsf/PAS+Index/C22B882BBDC40AC78525864F008106AB/$FILE/Yellen,%20Janet%20L.%20AMENDEDfinal%20278.pdf) limited disclosure reveals she received millions more from other banks like Barclays, BNP, UBS, and more.
That indicates that her incentives are completely misaligned because her government salary is just $221,400 a year, while just Citi has paid her more than $7 million.
Moreover while this sum might look like a small amount for an open bribe, Yellen's wealth is estimated to be $20 million, so she has been given in one year almost half her net worth by just one bank.
She is now serving her real employers, the banks and not the United States government, as Ron Hammond, Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association, says:
"The public pressure is working as more Senators express concerns to us privately about the bill text, Treasury is pulling out all the stops to kill the Wyden amendment, general politics of the bill could force Sen. Schumer to say no amendments at all."
For that $7 million, Yellen is now moving to effectively ban a competitor of their Citi pay masters, the defi space, with a section sneaked into the Infrastructure Bill at the last minute that holds smart contract coders responsible as brokers.
An amendment to that bill to exclude coders was almost going to pass with general consent, but then Yellen moved in to push for a competing amendment that does not exclude coders, the so called Warner-Portman amendment.
The risk is now the bill goes through without any amendment, something that would hold not only coders but also miners responsible in theory, although in context lawmakers have said the definition of a broker is not intended to cover miners.
That would be a very big win for Yellen's pay masters, but a huge loss for Americans who may well see first hand just how open corruption leads to the selling out of the United States and all for just $7 million.
Cheap money clearly talks in politics, so cryptonians will now have to ~~bribe~~ pay 'speaking fees' as well and 'donate' petty sums of $100,000 or $1 million to the 'elected' with it unclear whether that would be just in time to save the freedom to publish open source code on blockchain networks without any licensing requirements.
If not, then US citizens will have no choice but to get politically involved and fight them in the ballot box with all legally available means because the crypto space most likely does have not just the cost of business political war chest, but also the numbers to defeat all enemies of freedom, corrupt or otherwise as they may be.

Thanks to the link shared by [u/Dismal-Jellyfish](https://www.reddit.com/u/Dismal-Jellyfish/), there is an interesting bit of info/data shared by the CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) that I picked up on. They have made a filing to the SEC regarding a reduction in the ORF - Options Regulation Fee. This is a fee to *"to assist in offsetting exchange costs relating to the supervision and regulation of the options market (e.g., routine surveillance, investigations, and policy, rule-making, interpretive and enforcement activities)."*
The filing can be found here: C2 (Release No. 34-92596; File No. SR-C2-2021-012; August 6, 2021) <https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/cboe/2021/34-92597.pdf>
Pages 3 and 4 explain why the CBOE has made this filing, which in fact decreases the ORF cost for each options contract:
*Based on the Exchange's most recent semi-annual review, the Exchange is proposing to reduce the amount of ORF that will be collected by the Exchange from $0.0004 per contract side to $0.0003 per contract side. The proposed decrease is based on the Exchange's estimated projections for its regulatory costs, which have decreased, balanced with recent options volumes, which has increased. For example, total options contract volume in March 2021 was approximately 34% higher than the total options contract volume in March 2020 and the total options contract volume in June 2021 was approximately 25% higher than the total options contract volume in June 2020.* In fact, March 2021 was the highest, and June 2021 was the second highest, options volume month in the history of U.S. equity options industry.
Note that the CBOE are bound by SEC regulations to adjust the ORF, in line with options volumes. So even if they did not necessarily want to make this change, they have no option but to adjust the fees and provide a justification. In doing so, they have somewhat revealed the hand of what is happening overall i.e. historically high volumes of options being traded in these last few months.
Why is this significant? Because it has been conjectured by many Apes that much of the fuckery we have been seeing for hiding FTD obligations is through options trading. This filing seems to indicate there has been a huge increase in volumes *from precisely the timing that line up with this mechanism being used.*
Of course that could be coincidental, but I think we have learned enough this year that there are not many coincidences in this whole saga... And as [u/Wallstreet_Owes_Me](https://www.reddit.com/u/Wallstreet_Owes_Me/) pointed out in this post - which really should have had more attention - the CBOE appears to be one of Shitadel's main partners for manipulating the share price through dark pools as well:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ox93kt/citadels_connection_with_cboe_global_markets_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf>
In fact, it appears Nasdaq has made a similar change to their options fees as well. They have described the reason for the change in fees on the Nasdaq Options Market (NOM) being due to options volumes being *"at abnormally and unexpectedly high levels"* and it's scale as an *"historical anomaly"*:
<https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/nasdaq/2021/34-92600.pdf>
TL;DR: The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) and Nasdaq (for the Nasdaq Options Market) have made filings with the SEC announcing a reduction in mandatory fees for options contracts. This is not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they are forced to do so in order to abide with SEC regulatory costing requirements for exchange providers. The reason is that options volumes in the last 3-4 months are at historical all-time highs, and they have documented this fact within the filing. It has been conjectured that options fuckery is the central method by which Shitadel and others are circumventing their FTD requirements for shorted shares. This huge increase in options volumes, in a timeline that fits with that conjecture, seems to be very much pointing to the hypothesis being accurate.
EDIT: From some of the questions and comments, I can see some of you Apes have not fully grasped the implications of what these statements from the options exchanges are pretty much comfirming. The DD is not about the costs of buying options premiums being affected for retail buyers (note: a foolish trading strategy anyway for GME...) but really showing that some of the theories about options being used to hide short positions are a distinct possibility e.g.:
[u/Criand](https://www.reddit.com/u/Criand/) posting here about Buy-Writes: <https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/oc4f79/well_there_it_is_more_mathevidence_pointing_to/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share>
And the same writer here about OTM PUTs: <https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/on9dtz/otm_puts_are_the_passed_puck_of_short_positions/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share>
The huge increases in options volumes are all but confirming these hypotheses are correct IMO.

<https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rule-filings/sr-finra-2021-009>
I'm smooth brained, but this filing seems intended to require large institutions to report any transactions they route through dark pools and alternative brokers to FINRA. Initially it was set to be approved today, enacted 30 days from now (Sept 8th) but an extension was just filed pushing the approval an extra week to Monday August 16th.
I've been seeing some tweet screenshots saying it was approved today. While it has the potential to really help curb some of the dark pool trades, it's been officially pushed back.
BTW I can take criticism so lay it on me if I have anything wrong here!
~~edit: What's with all the "following" comments? I must be out of the loop...~~
edit2: Thank you for the awards, whoever you are, but please spend it on yourself or at least a charity!
edit3: SR-FINRA-2021-009 was supposed to be approved today, and it wasn't. There are public documents that show the extension requesting for a later date, filed for a week out (Monday Aug 16th 2021).

[DD 👨‍🔬](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/search?q=flair_name%3A%22DD%20%F0%9F%91%A8%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%94%AC%22&restrict_sr=1)
Using technical tools I believed I can prove that shorts are in full desperation mode and are attacking the stock to an identical degree as when GME was below 10$. There has been many good DDs and hypothesis on how they do it, now let me show you why they do it and how to spot it on the chart.
*Feel free to add any meaningful info to the conversation and debate me on anything, my goal isn't to farm karma or spread FUD but to add wrinkles. 🦍*
.The trend is your friend
GME ascending triangle is the current trend we are in, shorts have been attacking us heavily using the share offering as their entry point and have been relentless ever since. Their goal is simple ; break the bullish trendline and keep APES below 350.
*You can draw this triangle in many different ways, these lines are not the be-all and end-all.*

Long term trendline
This isn't as accurate but gives a good idea on how the floor and the ceiling keep rising ever so slightly, closing their window of opportunity each time.

Textbook ascending triangle
*Making higher lows and higher highs ever since Feb, we remain bullish on the most significant time frame*.
.RSI
One of my favorite tool for T.A very good at spotting manipulation and divergence.
I believe this is where our journey began, late summer of 2020. At that time Hedgies were hammering $GME like there was no tommorow,
As we all know, APES barely managed to saved the company and the rest is history.
If you don't know how the RSI works you can just look at the red line, the last time GME was hammered this hard was back in June/July 2020 , right before things started to turn around.

RSI on the DAILY timeframe
This show us that *even though* hey are using every trick in the book, hedgies are losing the battle and are having a tougher time bringing down the price. APES are HODLING and stop losses are a thing of the past.

Hedgies hammering the stock, with less impact.
Bullish divergence on the 4h timeframe, shown by the price action making lower lows and the RSI making higher lows .
Basically confirming that shorts might finaly be running out of steam, which would make alot of sense after attacking so viciously for the last two months.
[![r/Superstonk - Hedgies are fucked | In-Depth $GME analysis |](https://preview.redd.it/h987p70xjzf71.png?width=445&format=png&auto=webp&s=80890486235118de7f71a2ead692a47835846935)](https://preview.redd.it/h987p70xjzf71.png?width=445&format=png&auto=webp&s=80890486235118de7f71a2ead692a47835846935)
Very obvious bullish divergence.
.Volume
My hypothesis regarding low volume hasn't change very much since my last DD but I still wanted to compare it to it's previous low, July 2020 where things turned around for GME. This is not a coincidence people, they are using the same strategy right now that they were using when GME was about to get ~~executed.~~

Low volume before things started to ramp up last summer/fall
Unfortunately for them, they can't keep shorting like this forever and as soon as the trend reverses significantly, normies will just jump in and FOMO like they always do, add on top of that shorts covering and the GAMMA ramp that long whales have been setting up for weeks and you get a\

So close, yet so far Kenny.
.RO DMI
This is R O C K Y O U T C R 0 P DMI, a valuable tool for assessing price direction and strength. This is my favorite version of the Directional Movement Index. If you are not familiar with this indicator just follow along.
For the longest time, maybe years ?? shorts were in control and as you know they took it the price to a low of 2$. This is where we were a year ago, 2$!!!!. Think about how mind boggling this must be for them, they were ready to give GME it's final blow and we swept the rug from under them. APES were in control but recently something changed, agressive over the top shorting is back on the menu.
Using the same illegal strategy they used a year ago to bring our beloved stock down to it's knees, they have managed to take back control of the stock as shown on the DMI.

🐻 are going hard AF
They are using as much ammo right as they were on the previous horizontal red line around a year ago . This is confluent with what i've showed you previously on the RSI. Indicating that for the first time in a long time they feel like they must act now and show their hands.

Green crayon vs red crayon
The ADX (blue/pink line) represents the strenght of a particular move, everytime it changes color it means the trend is either heating up (turns blue) or cooling down (turns pink) . We just got a signal that things are about to go nuts for the better or worst. We will either get a massive dip or big rip but no sideway trading. So buckle up !
*On the downside our next stop is 142$ and on the upside ( 155.50$ / 174$ )*
*''IF WE HIT 184$+ get ready for another rally*\
*If we drop to 136$ or below save up your ammo''*

Buckle the F up. 🦍
When you zoom out this much it's pretty easy to see why they were attacking so hard lately. Their window of efficacy is closing out on them and if they didn't act GME fast was gonna retest 350$. They just bought themselves some more time, ANOTHER DAY !
[![r/Superstonk - Hedgies are fucked | In-Depth $GME analysis |](https://preview.redd.it/sgaudg4elzf71.png?width=761&format=png&auto=webp&s=547b581e37d8dade172cc33951a88f78f48b207d)](https://preview.redd.it/sgaudg4elzf71.png?width=761&format=png&auto=webp&s=547b581e37d8dade172cc33951a88f78f48b207d)
🌈🐻
On this *Fibonacci* we can see that APES have been crushing it by HODLING , never allowing the stock to touch the .382. Raising the floor with every sucessful test, my guess is that we will continue to do sountil they are completly fucked.
[![r/Superstonk - Hedgies are fucked | In-Depth $GME analysis |](https://preview.redd.it/p8lz4qwelzf71.png?width=658&format=png&auto=webp&s=ecd4ee33e167f58bf5145e26cf3640689c0ea5c2)](https://preview.redd.it/p8lz4qwelzf71.png?width=658&format=png&auto=webp&s=ecd4ee33e167f58bf5145e26cf3640689c0ea5c2)
No target, just up !
Keeping us below 500$ is crucial for our ennemies, just from a technical standpoint the next price point would be 2400$, even the biggest hedge fund couldn't diamond hand that. Pretty sure they would implode way before this price point anyway, iniating the squeeze.
GME never fails to rally once it hits 184$.
[![r/Superstonk - Hedgies are fucked | In-Depth $GME analysis |](https://preview.redd.it/tzyauilflzf71.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3978f2695e5012a0983bcc5bb781b87a5279847)](https://preview.redd.it/tzyauilflzf71.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3978f2695e5012a0983bcc5bb781b87a5279847)
Even without MOASS GME is destined to hit 2K$
*TLDR ;*\
In conclusion I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's the end of the rope for them, maybe they have a little bit more as shown on the DMI, but who cares since the price is already wrong ? They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, drop it too low and it's fomo let it run and you're done. Just a matter of time before 🦍 are back in control.
*On the downside our next stop is 142$ and on the upside ( 155.50$ / 174$ )*
*''IF WE HIT 187$+ get ready for another rally*\
*If we drop to 136$ or below save up your ammo''*
Hope this confirms your bias and that everyone is having a great week-end, very much looking foward to next week.

# Overview
## GameStop
[GameStop](https://news.gamestop.com/about-gamestop) is a Fortune 500 company and is the largest video game retailer worldwide, offering video games, consoles, accessories, and other consumer electronics in over 4,000 stores internationally. GameStop's family of brands include GameStop, EB Games, Micromania, ThinkGeek, and Game Informer® magazine.
### July 31st, 2019
Bloomberg reports GameStop short interest percentage at 63%.
### August 2019
In late 2019, Michael Burry and his private investment firm, Scion Asset Management, sent a letter to the GameStop Board of Directors urging them to repurchase nearly $238 million dollars worth of shares.
> **Michael Burry's Letter to the GameStop Board**
>
> August 16, 2019
>
> Dear Members of the Board,
>
> Scion Asset Management, LLC and its affiliates (“Scion”) own approximately 2,750,000 shares, or about 3.05%, of GameStop, Inc. (“GameStop”) common stock.
>
> As mentioned in our previous letter to the board, we have concerns regarding capital management at GameStop. Given recent GameStop common stock prices under $4 per share, we must re-state that GameStop complete the remaining $237,600,000 share repurchase at once and with urgency.
>
> Given the market capitalization of GameStop at $290 million at the close on August 15th, completing the authorization would retire over 80% of GameStops outstanding shares. Depending on the timing and quality of execution, such a repurchase would increase earnings per share dramatically - far more than any other possible action on a per share basis.
>
> The numbers are striking and demand action. We estimate that GameStop now has in excess of $480 million of cash, more than enough to complete the share repurchase authorization and still invest in the business and pay down debt.
>
> Through August 15th, a total of 11 trading days, 50,399,534 shares have traded. At this rate, for the month of August and for the third month in a row, the number of shares traded will exceed the total number of shares outstanding. Because of such high volume, we maintain that GameStop could pull off perhaps the most consequential and shareholder-friendly buyback in stock market history with elegance and stealth.
>
> Shareholders staring at all-time lows in GameStop stock see little evidence that GameStop has effectively leveraged its elite position in the gaming universe as the new paradigm came into clear view over the last five years.
>
> The unfortunate reality is that Amazon, not GameStop, bought Twitch in 2014. Instead, in 2014, GameStop started buying wireless store assets. And in 2017, Amazon, not GameStop, bought GameSparks - while less than a year ago GameStop reversed course and sold its wireless store assets. Shareholders are right to worry.
>
> We expect GameStops business will perk up a bit during 2020 and 2021 as the new console cycle, with associated software updates and introductions, finally gets underway. But what is happening now in the stock is about more than late cycle doldrums or even the streaming paradigm shareholders do not have faith in current management, and have not been inspired by new leadership policies.

> Notably, as of July 31st, 2019, Bloomberg reports short interest in GameStop stock at 57,226,706 shares this is about 63% of the 90,268,940 outstanding GameStop shares at last report.

> We submit that when share prices are at or near all-time lows and more than 60% of the shares are shorted despite cash levels much higher than the current market capitalization, lack of faith in managements capital allocation is the default conclusion.

> All of this creates the opportunity to enter 2020 with a dramatically reduced share count along with multi-fold greater impact per share for every single other achievement of management. Consider as just one example that if the turnaround is successful, and if GameStop were able to shrink its shares outstanding to 30 million through the share repurchase, the $157 million dividend that was just eliminated would pay out around $5.25 per share.

> The Board deemed up to $6.00 per share a good price for a buyback less than two months ago, and the price of the stock today is nearly half that amount.

> We again advise the Board to represent shareholders well, and to ensure the execution of the remaining repurchase authorization in full.

By removing the ability to leverage crypto markets *simultaneously for revenue and collateral reqs*, the short position will be unsustainable.
[April 12th, SR-DTC-2021-005 PULLED (INDEFINITELY) FOR "REFORMATTING"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mpmcyz/good_news_update_on_dtc2021005_according_to_john/) - With the tactical nuke in place, no need to keep full-scale Armageddon on the table, right?

[May 5th+ Overnight repos explode](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RRPONTSYD#). Many DDs suggest the ON RRP is "a liquidity problem framed as a collateral problem". It's both because the tactical nuke hit both.
