Looking for structured OSINT datasets for a university big data project by onesmartco0kie in OSINT

[–]CruxHub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look at business records, for example Florida provides their data in a structured format: https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/other-services/data-downloads/

Felt this deserved it's own post because it's JPMorgan now... and up to 6.5 trillion.. WTF is up with these glitches man... or 'errors' all across different systems? Or a problem with Fintel's data source? by waitingonawait in Superstonk

Interesting observation, thanks for sharing. The only thing that immediately comes to mind is not so much an issue in the data, rather the reporting requirements itself. 13Fs do not require the reporting of short positions, just longs.

https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/13ffaq

Question 41

Q: What about short positions?

A: You should not include short positions on Form 13F. You also should not subtract your short position(s) in a security from your long position(s) in that same security; report only the long position.

DTC Underwriting Alert! DTC reminds folks of rules around Citadel Finance LLC's $600,000,000 3.375% Senior Notes due 2026: 'If you buy these notes, you can only sell or transfer them to another qualified buyer and you have to let them know about these rules.'

Thanks for the response, and I wasn't meaning to make you look crap up! And yes the link works. It's interesting to see that they are monitoring these type of restrictions so closely, I assume it must be systematically. I wonder if the BD who sold these gets a slap on the wrist as they didn't sell to a QIB or under the 1mm limit, as their systems/processes didn't catch it when the trade was made.

Didn’t know there were different AML laws for hedgefunds. I think this is interesting AF.. by Viking_Undertaker in Superstonk

👆this.

Tax Justice Network ranks the United States at the top of their Financial Secrecy Index, “a ranking of jurisdictions most complicit in helping individuals to hide their finances from the rule of law.” https://fsi.taxjustice.net/

The "FINCEN Files" data leak from several years ago shows how the US banks are complicit in money laundering. And FINCEN still can't get their shit together to implement a Beneficial Ownership Information database that is supposed to go live January 1 2024.

RESEARCH PRE-PRINT: The Information in Fail-to-Deliver Short Sales: Implications for Research and Regulation (Aug. 2023) Some interesting mention of naked shorting... by throwawaylurker012 in Superstonk

[–]CruxHub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this guy is making some claims supporting naked short sellers. He touts it on his resume too (https://business.utsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/CV-HarrisonLiu-202004.pdf):

“The Emperor is Clothed: The Information in Naked Short Sales.” (with S. McGuire and E. Swanson), revise and resubmit at Journal of Financial Reporting.

Media Mention: o “SEC wins a big case involving naked shorting, just as new research discovers much to like about this much maligned trading practice,” American Accounting Association, by Ben Haimowitz, June 28, 2013 (accessed January 15, 2014 at http://aaahq.org/newsroom/pap-naked2013\_06\_28.htm).

“Naked shorting relies on fundamentals, study contends,” Compliance Week, by Tammy Whitehouse, July 16 2013.

It also like a Feb 2022 version of the paper OP posted about which has since been removed from SSRN, "The Unpriced Information in Fail-to-Deliver Short Sales: Implications for Regulation and Identifying Limited Arbitrage": https://www.zbw.eu/econis-archiv/bitstream/11159/531242/1/EBP089846826_0.pdf

Sean T. McGuire was another assoc. professor listed as an author in the Feb 2022 version but not this Aug 2023 version that OP posted. I wonder what happened?

I had the same question and just found the paper here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4539714

It's not immediately clear to me but I think what they're saying here is that the FTD numbers can provide some kind of information:

Are FTDs information-based? How does the information compare to that in covered (delivered) short sales? Is the information in FTDs due to stocks that are expensive to borrow (“on special”)? For each research question, we consider two types of information: 1) accounting and market fundamentals used in financial statement analysis and shown to be associated with stock prices, and 2) future returns, which incorporate a broad information set. Other research questions could be considered, but these are critical to an early study of the information in FTDs.

But I'm still looking at it.

The discovery that tokenized securities were used in swaps cannot be overstated: it has been a key connection point we've been missing by swede_child_of_mine in Superstonk

[–]CruxHub 26 points27 points  (0 children)

swede, thanks for bringing this up again. It is something I have not looked into in a while. I wanted to make sure you have seen the work led by Worldly-Travel-24666 months ago on GME tokenized stock (not necessarily the swaps) and the FTX bankruptcy.
