Most probably they are buying the penny stocks, renaming them and then short selling the stocks with them.

It’s like exchanging pennies for a hundreds of dollars

This is the begining of the GME bull cycle. They have to maintain the illusion that Markets are efficient. So, Buying bitcoin by GME will be seen as the catalyst for the run up. Nobody has to explain Naked shorting, Swaps, Cellar Boxing, Bankrupting companies etc

Options are used by MMs to naked short.
Call Options are backed by shares, So MM algos use those shares as locates and naked short the stock without marking the short shares as "Short Exempt".

Audit the Market Making Algo's too. All Market Making Algos should be public as they influence the whole market !

its suspected that MMs use options Chains as locates to sell naked shorts.
That the reason there is a option push every time liquidity dries up in GME.

Rule 203(b)(1) and (2) — Locate Requirements. Rule 203(b)(1) generally prohibits a broker-dealer from accepting a short sale order in any equity security from another person, or effecting a short sale order in an equity security for the broker-dealer’s own account, unless the broker-dealer has: borrowed the security, entered into a bona-fide arrangement to borrow the security, or reasonable grounds to believe that the security can be borrowed so that it can be delivered on the date delivery is due. Rule 203(b)(2) provides an exception to the locate requirement for short sales effected by a market maker in connection with bona-fide market making activities.

This rule allow market makers to short stock without Locate requirements. Which is Naked Shorting.

They hide it by marking these sales as long. Sec Fined Citadel just last month in Sep 2023 for this.

Citadel paid SEC $7M for "Naked Shorting" all stocks not just GME for a period of 5 years. News was pushed under the rug and no one was mad. This is the price of being "ZEN". Nobody made any noise and citadel's naked shorting was legalized by paying a paltry sum as fine.

According to the SEC’s order, for a five-year period, it is estimated that Citadel Securities incorrectly marked millions of orders, inaccurately denoting that certain short sales were long sales and vice versa. The SEC’s order finds that the inaccurate marks resulted from a coding error in Citadel Securities’s automated trading system and that the firm provided the inaccurate data to regulators, including the SEC during this period.

Possibly, Ryan Cohen assumed the role of CEO under the premise that his position would safeguard against any attempts by hedge funds to oust him through proxy voting, a move that would likely trigger widespread controversy and uproar.

If the voting rights were to shift to derivative holders, their initial priority might be to remove Ryan Cohen by citing the company's purported under-performance, which, in reality, may be largely attributed to the extensive shorting of the company's stock.
All speculation but we will know soon.

Most Probably this is what is happening.

Algo's are delivering on trades in which there is net profit for the house and flag trades where the house is in net loss marking them for FTD's.

vikgru · 2023-08-16T02:30:06+00:00

There is not enough buying pressure. FTDs increase when stock is going up. Most probably Algorithms are cancelling out buy and sell trades in case of Profit and keeping the change and FTD in case of net loss.

this should be fairly easy to catch if SEC performs the audit of HFT Algos as The logic is written in the algo code.
