What do you think?? Almost seems too crazy, but we are also talking about America and the financial system in a collapsing empire… soo.

Edit: adding description in case you are just clicking through: the post is about a conspiracy theory concerning potential large-scale fraud (fraudulently created fake shares) at the highest levels of the financial system involved in the GME short situation, and presents evidence from an official filing that clearly shows the number of "fails-to-deliver"s for gamestop shares are an extreme outlier compared to other stocks

Thanks for looking into this! I’m a total newbie personally, and getting tapped in and reading all this stuff has been a real eye-opener. The thing that scares me most is that we may never know the truth lol

If someone were “selling counterfeit stocks”, then wouldn’t there be more stock out there than actually “should” exist? In which case wouldn’t we expect to see OVER reporting of stock ownership rather than under? Unless the perpetrators responsible for selling stock that doesn’t exist also HOLD some of the stock, but decide to under-report their own holdings to try to hide that there is more than 100% existing, and “slightly” overshoot as a safety margin? But if that were the case and they hold enough stock to do this, why wouldn’t they just sell the real stock they actually own, instead of selling fake and pretending they don’t own some?

AFAICT, it’s a very specific kind of fraud. They’re lying about having/shorting more gamestop stock than they actually have. As long as the total fake and real shorted stocks doesn’t go above 100%, it’s apparently really hard to detect.

Nice story, but only time will tell (or not) whether there’s something to it.

“I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating - partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money.”
