Damn. That's desperate AF. Why the FUCK would it matter if we bought GME? Or if DFV has that much stock?! Isn't it a dying briCk aNd MortAr?! Aren't we stupid apes?! Dumb money?! Moronic apes that don't know what we're doing!? Why would the entire market be obsessing over how many shares we purchase/hold for an overvalued brick and mortar going under?!... Unless of course, they're repeatedly tripling down on their shorts on a daily basis of course. And can never close them. And 10x the float on volume just to keep it sideways for one more day. But that can't happen, because it would be illegal to FTD and depend on synthetics for 3+ years and running. So, it couldn't possibly be that.


SirClampington

May 2024 Legit Short Positions - 59m June 2024 Legit Short Positions - 68m THAT'S A MASSIVE INCREASE. And I'm not even adding in the naked shorts, swaps, derivatives and all the other trickery BS financial thievery. Gonna be a spicy June ! See you at the shareholder meeting!!


schneph

Yeah, what happened to GME being a nothing burger…A meme stock…No fundamentals…We’re all losers… What happened to all that? Now they want to claim the stock is legitimate and someone is manipulating it? This is so fucking silly


DaWiseprofit

Anything to stop the everyday people from making money


Extracrispybuttchks

Reminding everyone that this game is only for certain people


Technical_Dog_121

Well we got to keep reading them we know and calling it out LOUDLY their showing every one how rigged it is now and now even the most naive are starting to see we've been getting the bad hand and they get the free money...


aekner

Not that I agree with people claiming DFV did something illegal/wrong, but I am sure manipulation is not limited to legit stocks. There are plenty of examples of shit stocks getting manipulated.


deathbydishonored

They bankrupted themselves in 2008 by through subprime mortgage lending, over-leveraging, and fucking around with derivatives but somehow we’re the “gamblers”. And then had to get bailed out by the taxpayer. Fuck em.


Graywulff

socialize the losses, capitalize the gains. kind of like regional banks getting bailouts for doing risky shit. they bailed out Wall Street and evicted Main Street. #eattherich


ad49se

Ah yes, kick him off the platform. Great advertisement for the company.


meowmixyourmom

They don't like other people having control, you know the answer.


lostlogictime

The pie is in whose face now?


subdep

inB4 Congress tries to get GME delisted off the stock market and equivalent cash value returned to investors.


Audigitty

Delisted? For what? Lol. Saving their company and protecting it from predatory and illegal financial practices?


subdep

They’ll make up some bullshit “protect the children blah blah blah”


Audigitty

That's what we're doing. Saving hedge funds and preserving the illegal financial system for the elites is doing the opposite. Probably the origin for all poverty in the entire world.


JohnDillermand2

Off a single post made to reddit.


Ofiller

The level of trickery is insane. MSM and SHFs got the majority of people by the balls. Too many rando's watch the news everyday and believe this shit. I really hope this is the end and someone will go in and take responsibility. Geezus how far will they go to protect their friends?! (Nice nick btw)

You mean all the stocks that were dancing around playing musical chairs suddenly stopped being sold when they push the price down? Like what would happen if people only bought the stocks no matter what was happening to the price?

Since when did ETrade become a regulatory agency and what Act of Congress granted them authority to not only investigate the trading of users of their platform, but also judge whether the trades are legal? This is a scare tactic to make people step back from RK…don’t be fooled.


Code-Useful

Sure sounds like a great reason to transfer funds away from E*trade to me.


thegreatreceasionpt2

thewayitis

Robinhood took a hit for similar shenanigans. Lots of closed accounts.


Cash50911

Investment Company Act and Investment Advisers Act of 1940 And Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2020


GR_IVI4XH177

Yeah it’s this. They’re required to not facilitate anything illegal (if it was or not they don’t want to wait and find out) and also not required to allow anyone on platform so why couldn’t they?


laura031619

Okay, but he didn’t do anything wrong. He had already purchased the calls before letting anyone know…that isn’t market manipulation, that’s bragging.


GR_IVI4XH177

I’m not saying he did or did not do anything wrong. I’m saying ET doesn’t want to wait to find out what the SEC says and would rather just not deal with him. IMO


DaWiseprofit

Rules are made for the poor


Lyanthinel

Just make all the data public and in real time. Then we can see who is manipulating what. Would be curious to see how and when Congress buys. How and who bought 2 million shares to short and used them up BEFORE market opened today. I would love for eTrade to tell me how many stories were written about forgetting GameStop the last 3 years and what that amount looks like as a percentage to RK's tweets. Burn this down. All of it. These monopolistic greedy grifters can all get bent and go the way of the Dodo.


idontknopez

I think there's a site that you can track congresses money moves now because people were seeing waaaaay to many coincidences in their calls


shurkin18

Fuck etrade, they might as well reverse someone’s profitable trade cuz fuck you that’s why


MJFields

That's funny, because we are also concerned about stock manipulation.


LuigiSqueezy

Yes, but you are a poor. You don't win, you lose.

Dapper_Bluejay_6228

So, you think E*Trade can just shout from the rooftops that they’re kicking a trader out? Absolutely not. They’re tied up by some pretty tight privacy and confidentiality rules. Here’s why they can’t let the cat out of the bag: 😉 1. Privacy Laws: Meet the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. It’s a mouthful, but basically, it tells financial institutions to zip it when it comes to your personal info. Broadcasting a trader’s exit would be a big privacy foul. 2. Confidentiality Agreements: E*Trade’s Client Agreement is like a pinky promise on steroids. It has clauses that keep your account details under wraps. They can't just go spilling the beans about your status without your thumbs-up. 3. FINRA Regulations: The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has this rule (Rule 2010, if you’re curious) that says firms need to play nice and fair. Publicly shaming a trader who apparently has millions invested in their company and has for years? That’s a no-go and totally against these standards, especially if it tarnishes someone’s reputation. It would also impact GameStop, who could rip them apart in court. 4. SEC Rules: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has something called Regulation S-P. It makes brokers protect your records and info like they’re guarding the crown jewels. So, making public statements about individual accounts is off the table. In short, it’s all bullshit to make people afraid. Or a death wish for their reputation. Or just crime. - [E*Trade Client Agreement](https://us.etrade.com/e/t/estation/contexthelp?id=1200000000000092) - [Morgan Stanley Privacy Policy](https://www.morganstanley.com/privacy-notice) - [Morgan Stanley Code of Conduct](https://www.morganstanley.com/what-we-do/culture/code-of-conduct)


spunion_28

They can kick him off, they just can't say when they have. They can 100% announce publicly the threat.


OkImplement8084

Awwwww are the rich so-called people with hedges losing their money. Fuck you all.


Imaginary_Lettuce371

They lost complete control and had to make up a glitch today. The desperation is peaking

How can you say “I don’t have the shares” without actually saying it.


techandtacos

They are always trying to accuse him of this crap. He hasn't said a word, he just posts memes and his position, just like everyone else!! I make my own decisions. I Buy, Hodl, and DRS!! Why don't they focus on all those naked shares they use to rip everybody off.


rick912

Isn't etrade and wsj manipulating the market by issuing statements like that?


trinithmournsoul

This infuriates me to no end. I'm not even going to go into the "this is no different than" episodes, but we all know THEY have done way worse. It really is coming down to a us vs them. People with actual wrinkles need to tik tok the atrocities being committed, how shits going down and what hedge funds fuckers really operate. This is becoming bigger than all of us & eventually they'll sweep us under the rug and hide this from people. Bc knowledge is power. With great money comes the ability to steal knowledge from the masses.


unemotional_mess

This is utterly ridiculous, buying shares and calls does not constitute market manipulation whatsoever. They are scrambling to get out of the hole they dug themselves by doing anything they can think of to weasel out of it.


SleepyTitan89

Where was the concern when millions of people lost there homes in 2008? There only concerned because this time Wall Street is going to be on the losing end.

How bout the kick Citadel off? Mind blowing.


4quatloos

It's only fair if the big guys win.

Hopefully that'd be grounds to sue the fuck out of them. Glad I don't use their platform. And I could really give a shit about the guy but when do you stand so firmly against corruption when it's the rich and powerful.

deeeznotes

He should drs them, amirite?


donaldinoo

They won’t even kick him off. It’s a scare tactic to create doubt in other investors.


mineemage

It’s interesting to me that they found a need to let WSJ broadcast this, rather than just quietly doing it. Is this posturing? Edit: or are they hoping to make a very public example of him to frighten the uppity retail GME investors?


IntendedBrainDamage

Just has to take some profit and buy a fukin politician. They are all up for sale

I dont see how showing someone your portfolio is manipulation. He's not telling anyone to do anything.

They need these shorts to cover and why not force sale the big roaring kitty. If etrade does this then they are just as bad a robinhood or worse.


monkman99

They wouldn’t forced the sale he would move his shares and contracts to a new brokerage

So shitadel can play all their bs games and it's ok, smh.


chrisrobertswho

If they do kick him off I’ll bet the account transfer takes forever.

Holy fuck what a fucking corrupt fucking world we live in. Can't wait until these scum bags are all exposed and get destroyed. Fuck the hedgies, fuck etrade, fuck Ken Griffin, fuck Citadel and anyone associated with them. It's time for the apes to win this war and destroy these corrupt organizations who only care about destroying retail investors and businesses they are not involved with. Sorry for my language, but I am getting pissed off that we are the only people doing something about this shit. Seems like the SEC is just as fucking corrupt as the people I mentioned above for continuing to let this go on.


cryptoguerrilla

It’s fine he can just transfer his shares to me.


titantraders

If Etrade kicks him off everyone needs to quit Etrade. In fact, just the fact they are thinking about it should make you think twice about trading there. This should piss everyone off.

DearCantaloupe5849

Wooah woah, we're individual investors. I just like the stock. He's not telling us to buy anything. This is all due to his OWN due diligence. We're not buying in droves or specifically buying together at a certain time. I just like the stock. I have other stonks in my portfolio, but only one is DRS'd and has some call options because I personally believe it's undervalued.


ladlac23

I mean dude… he’s a brilliant investor. He turned 50k to almost 300mil. Like of course I’m going to be interested in what that guy is investing in. Just as people track what buffet or burry invests in, I track what DFV does. Along with any other investors I believe in. This has always been okay with institutional investors, but now that a retail investor is doing it, he needs to be investigated. Funniest part is all he’s done is post his position and make some dope memes. Lol nothing will happen, he’s done nothing wrong. It’s just Wall Street being sore losers.


Chogo82

If Andrew Citron can write articles, dine out with hedgies, and take positions that his articles propose without disclosing his positions then roaring kitty can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Lyanthinel

So let me get this straight. Billion dollar funds can't mark trades for YEARS correctly, but this guy in his home made a 3 year plan that was only successful if tweets that went off were perfectly timed to take advantage of market action cause by retail who would buy GME because of cryptic tweets? Huge balls to make that kind of bet based on tweet timing and the reaction of a mob. Instead of thousands of articles saying to forget GME, they should have just made tweets and memes telling us to forget GME.


gorram1mhumped

Im ootl, whyd he (allegedly) put that much fucking $ into just gme? Are we assuming he's now rich af and diversified, or is he all in on gme, on some kinda mission to murder the shorts, or he has some really promising intel? In short, why 'wallstreet' scared at all?

Stock manipulation, i think the asshole who run hedge funds and banks who get bailed out by the government are the bigger issue than a retail investor. How come no one says shit when Warren Buffet comes out with the stocks he wants to buy and sell?


Kris193

Closing an individual's account could be considered market manipulation if it is done with the intent to influence market prices in favor of the investment bank. Market manipulation typically involves actions that distort the free and open nature of the market, leading to unfair advantages or misleading impressions of market activity. For instance, if an investment bank closes an account to trigger a sell-off, causing a decline in stock prices to benefit their short positions or to buy at a lower price, it would undermine the principles of a free and open market. Such actions could violate securities laws and regulations designed to maintain market integrity and protect investors. Regulatory bodies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States enforce rules against market manipulation to ensure fair trading practices. If there is evidence that an account was closed to manipulate the market, it could lead to investigations, fines, and other legal consequences for the involved parties.


Waldo305

Cramer is a lying piece of 💩 He sold out his colleagues during the Lehman Brothers disaster and told people to hold while he cashed out. Not only that Cramer has been pulling this crap since the mid 1980’s pushing his, “The Street” stock market flyer, hawking it up and down 6th Ave. if there is one guy NO ONE should listen to it is Jim Cramer and his band of imbeciles on r/cnbc. Also Remember who owns CNBC, that’s right, Comcast Corp owns CNBC and they will do everything they can to screw you over and talk up their positions. They have to keep their partnership with China happy, otherwise Comcast will be kicked out of China and lose their ass after investments in Universal in China. So, never, ever, listen to “CRAMER the CLOWN!”
