Let me paint a scene, so back in january, gamestop was going haywire, absolutely haywire, the the cultural following behind it, the social following behind it, the stock price itself. Everything was going nuts and the one day we all got up late january and what had happened was they're like whoa, i can't buy people on some of the most major retail platforms, such as robin hood, such as weeble could not buy stock. The robin hood and we're about to see this in some documentation. They they pco'd it position close only they pco'd, gamestop amc and basically their clearing broker the dtcc, like that entire structure.

There was just saying, hang on, like you guys, don't have enough money. This is insane uh you're, not gon na cover it and so for them, basically to save their own butt, we're like well, if we don't have the money like we'll, just stop the buying of it, and then they quickly did like a cash raise of over three Billion dollars, it was just an entire hectic scenario, um and honestly, even for my time in the market, i didn't even know that they could do that like a brokerage on their own uh. I guess decision just decide to be like you know what like we're, not gon na, allow the purchasing of these stocks anymore and many many respected people all admit that if you could do it, these stocks would have gone way higher at that moment in time. That's not really a debated thing, that's kind of a generally accepted thing that, of course, like people were like the the appetite to continue to buy was there, and that was the fallout and it took a while.

Actually i mean i was streaming all that stuff live uh. I was living that in the real moment like it was one of those weird situations where, like robin hood's documentation, we were like refreshing it every single minute to see how many shares you could buy. Was it zero? Was it one? Was it five or are there any calls? Can you buy five calls now? It was an insane scenario that not many people knew was even legal and then that kind of got into the question. Well, is it legal and with that people started to really dive into the market, mechanics of what was going on a lot of us knew about this brokerage.

This brokerage thing called robinhood and then in the the government hearings we heard that they were using to get all their trades executed. We heard that they were using a market maker, namely citadel securities and who that's run by ken griffin. So you have vlad tenev. The ceo of robin hood, who runs the brokerage that many many people were on millions of people were on and then all these trades were actually getting executed, um by citadel securities, this market maker.

So you had a lot of people looking into it and all of a sudden things. It just seemed crazy, like a lot of people feel and like for obvious obvious reasons they feel like money was stolen from them because, like i just said, a lot of people admit the stock would have gone way higher if they did not pco position close only So this got to such a degree. This was one of the craziest stories of recent and it actually got the attention of our government. So in these government trials, which you can watch right here, uh look for the february 18th game stopped, who wins and loses when short, sellers, social media and retail event id 111, 207 and more recently.

So here there's a lot like this is hours long. This is five and a half hours long and, as you can see, i'm going to be talking about three hours and 10 minutes in. I think that's where we have some interesting stuff, but the reason this particular thing is now getting storm once again is because of a case filing we have in the district of florida. I could post this below uh just so you guys can check it out yourself and we're seeing some things that people are like whoa whoa whoa, like we remember some of the comments.

We remember what this is saying now and just something's not really adding up, and it's really turning a lot of heads to the point that over here at twitter yesterday, ken griffin lied was trending, twitter, squashed it and now it's the question of okay. I don't think many people would argue that from like a moral standpoint of like what you're, what are you doing for the greater good? Is it good or is it bad? Is it detrimental, not um, but we also have to get in and remember i'm not a lawyer, i'm not a financial advisor, but sometimes with this type of stuff. You have to dive into the specifics and understand that the the world of justice and the the legal system lives in the world of technicalities. It's very very specific, where you really have to comb through each word each sentence and understand the context that it's actually in um and with it like i, i guess i'm doing my best but like i said i have no legal expertise.

So maybe some of my commentary is going to be completely off point, but i think it's good for at least us to dive into because of two things when i'm going through on twitter last night, and this morning i mean folks - i've been like so deep in This rabbit hole i feel like i could be the next easter bunny i'm seeing quotes that are wrong about the entire situation, like they're they're, trying to pull things out of this transcript. That is completely wrong and then i'm seeing other things that to me, i'm like whoa. This is a big deal. However, people not talking about this and i kind of want to shine a little bit of light on that, at least because i i just think it's important.

I think it's very important that people have a better understanding of like the truth of the overall situation. So here's what i think the best way to do with this is, i think, let's go through this chronologically, so i explained gamestop amc went absolutely haywire in late january and then fast forward till mid february. This is where they were. Having a talk and right here.

We have this representative, i don't know what state he's from we have juan uh shoot. What i don't know what state he's from i'm sure. Oh right here, juan vargas uh, california, 51 um, okay. So he is currently talking to ken griffin, the ceo citadel, the hedge fund and citadel securities, the world's largest market maker um.

Instead of going through this, i think it's a lot more humorous and also maybe for some dmca issues that, if, if i just take on like i'm, i've been working on my acting career, as you can tell so in this particular bit, i will be taking on The the role of both mr juan and mr ken and you're gon na know, who is who uh we will uh we're gon na, be doing this through uh through our our mic change our voice changer over here. Let me get this set up. This is my first big acting debut just so everyone knows all right, let's, let's zoom in a little bit, all right, all right, all right! So just so you know, if you want to check this out, here's the video i'm not hiding at all. You guys should all listen to the testimony fast forward to three hours: 10 minutes.

It is posted by the house community on financial services uh, like i, i implore everyone to check this out, and just so you know they did talk a little bit beforehand and right as i'm about to hop into my own scene, my own character here um, mr Juan was asking oh like how many people do you have in the room and ken's like five, including myself, he's like? I don't think you need much more help, because, like all these rich ceos, they basically have all the help enter juan. Now i have to ask you said that you didn't talk to anybody citadel citadel securities. Did anyone in your organization since january 1st contact robin hood? Are you asking if we've had contact with robin hood with respect to gamestop and what we are obviously talking about so congressman we've offered to have my colleague who manages the relationship be here today? Instead, he has first-hand knowledge. We are, of course, talking to robin hood routinely in the ordinary course of business.

We manage a substantial portion of their order flow, all right back to mac horse here, narrator, just so, you know right there. This is from ken griffin. We are, of course, talking to robin hood routinely in the ordinary course of business. We are, of course, talking to robin hood routinely in the ordinary course of business that was said by ken griffin on february 18th of 2021, all right back to juan.

Well, i understand that, but did you talk to them about restricting or doing anything, to prevent people from buying not selling but buying stock in gamestop? Anyone in your organization - let me be perfectly clear - absolutely not so if we depose everyone in your organization, we will find that that is correct. All right, so that's kind of the setup we have. This is february 18th. All that happened, and once again you can find this between this representative.

You can find it between ken, and it seems like this is, i think, the big um disconnection that we're seeing so right there on this day, ken admitted they routinely his organization routinely talks to robin hood. What i think in legally speak that they're really going to dive into was the question. Well, i understand that. But did you talk to them about restricting or doing anything to prevent people from buying stock in gamestop anyone in your organization? So this is very much in reference to the pco stuff.

The position close only so with this i'm seeing a bunch of quotes - and it seems like people are nitpicking - quotes to like kind of fit their like whatever their narrative, but this is the full thing in order. You can fact check me right here. This is the stream i'm not like, hiding anything from where i got this, but let me dive into a little bit more because i think it's interesting, and this is where well. Okay, like i don't think this is going to be surprising to anyone where i'm like.

Oh, i think this is how this billionaire gets off. We all know like especially in america, if you're a billionaire you're going to get away with a lot of stuff you shouldn't get away with, so i'm i guess in a certain sense. I think this is how they're going to get away with it, like i feel, like i've gone down in this rabbit hole that, like, i think i can now predict what the lawyer is going to do and like just because of like the technicalities of law. The question that he answered, let me be perfectly clear, absolutely not, as in ken the question was, did you have conversations with them to prevent people from buying not selling but buying stock in gamestop? Anyone in your organization, basically referring to, did citadel, have any input on this pco thing.

The position close only uh, because we know that they talk like if you think citadel and robin hood don't talk like they do. I mean ken griffin announced it. So let me fast forward a little bit. This came out recently, so this is the case.

You could check it out. I will pin it below. Let me go to the right pages. All right.

We have to start off at 57. um so right here on 57 greenwich, howard gretchen. Excuse me gretchen howard, the ceo of robin hood, talking about position clothes only, she said. Can you call me major liquidity issue? We have pco amc and gme, so this is a completely different tangent, but right here, major liquidity issue.

This was on the 28th. The very next day vlad tenniv was on cnbc with uh andrew sorkin, saying yeah. No, no liquidity issue like uh, there's, no liquidity issue. So this is a contradictory in itself right here, uh a day before, and even there like.

Now, it's just like picking this game of like okay, like we all know, this is clearly clearly messed up. It's the issue of like okay, the lawyers are gon na duke this out because they can be like yeah. No gretchen knew about that on the 28th, but by the 29th it was fixed and that's like gives vlad the free pass to say it. So this is like the absurdly frustrating part that makes me want to rip out.

My own hair is because, like i just feel like, i can see where the lawyers are going to take this and how these people are going to get away with this particular thing. Unless we get more evidence, but hang on, like i think, there's some other interesting in things in here like in reference to what we just talked about all right, uh, we're gon na get crucified for pco. We have that um they just basically i'm just bringing this up to you, because they knew what they did was obviously bad, but i do want to bring in 82 if you go to the pdf and you go to 82. This is where i think it's interesting and yesterday, so this is on the 27th just to fyi that dan and i are joining jim at 5 p.m, on a call with citadel.

So yesterday, when i was like first getting into the story, i kind of like pointed this line out as being an important one of like okay, like when we knew they talked, and a lot of people are just trying to say, they're, like they're, trying to act As this ken griffin lied thing as in oh, oh, he lied about just talking to robin. Well, that's not necessarily the lie. No, like ken griffin has fully admitted that he speaks with robin hood. The organization speaks with robin hood.

We know that. That's how you conduct business, the question the lie is: did citadel, have any commentary or input on robinhood pc owing amc, gme and like a host of other stocks. This is where it's kind of interesting, at least to me just in fyi that dan and i are joining jim at 5 p.m, on a call with citadel. I pointed this out and i just want you to remember jim right here, um and right here.

Vlad said, okay, maybe this would be a good time for me to chat with ken griffin. You guys can mention that i've never met him. So, as of the 27th vlad saying, he never met him, but that doesn't mean that there's not talks between citadel and robin hood, but anyway, this gym name on the 27th they're talking with them um. So i'm assuming that this gym is the same gym.

I know i'm being told that there's multiple gyms in this world - i know that's news to me, but i'm just gon na take this leap here and maybe this is why i'm not gon na be a good lawyer, because i'm taking these leaps, i shouldn't take um, But this is the gym, i'm just going to call it this same gym right here. That gretchen is referring to um right here. Anecdotal evidence that several very large firms are having really bad nights as well too then jim responds everyone. Is you wouldn't believe the conversation? We had with citadel total mess so, like i said, i'm not a lawyer or anything, but this is the converse everyone is you wouldn't believe the conversation we had with citadel? This is if there's gon na be like a smoking gun.

Evidence of what's going on, did citadel in any shape, form or manner have an impact on them. Pcoing this conversation right here, you wouldn't believe the conversation we have with citadel total mess, so it the like. The answer's lying jim folks, the answers lie in mr jim swarth, whoever that dude is um. I want to like it's just crazy stuff, absolutely crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy stuff um.

So to me, that's the thing: that's the evidence so for everyone listening who's diving into this. I read the transcript uh, which i think i knocked that out of the park, my acting ability between juan and ken on february 18th of what was going on here and the actual quotes. I'm seeing a lot of quotes fly around on both twitter and reddit. That are incorrect.

I'm telling you you can't just be retweeting like a meme or any of that stuff. The evidence is right here. Three hours, 10 minutes game stopped. It's posted by the house committee on financial services live on february 18th.

You can hear it for yourself. This is not hard to track down, and then you start tying it together with this lawsuit and all the information on or like this class action lawsuit. And i think if you come to page 82 to me in my non-legal professional opinion, just an fyi that dan and i are joining jim at 5 pm on a call later on, we have jim everyone. Is you wouldn't believe the conversation we have with citadel? That to me could be the contradictory thing of right here of like later the conversation we had with ken, but with it that's the onus is on the prosecutor.

It really is in this. That's how our system works. You are innocent, till proven guilty and right here we have a lot of. I don't know what the term is secondary, circumstantial.

I don't know what it is, but we're still at that point where we need that thing. Where we're talking about robin hood and citadel talking about pc owing and like agreeing that it's a good idea, a bad idea, something along those lines, that's the piece of evidence that, like i think, could lead to like legitimate jail time, but there's more. This is from citadel security. Citadel securities did not ask robin hood or any other firm, to restrict or limit its trading activity on january 27th.

So well. This is weird because, like now you're just like almost fact, checking okay, so 27th, like okay, did they talk on the 20? Hey like this is the weird words like. Did a lawyer literally read every single word like oh well, we didn't ask them to. We told them to like - and this is where it's that dumb game of like just legal stuff.

Well, no, no, no, we didn't ask, we told him, it wasn't the 27th. It was the 26th. It was the 28th like i feel like i. I just feel like a lawyer was over the shoulder of every single word written, but what i think they tweeted out and didn't weren't meaning to tweet about was right here.

Citadel securities was the only major market maker during this time that provided continuous liquidity. Every minute of every trading day, i think that they're gon na wish they could take this tweet back this second one right here, tweeted out 14 hours ago, right away, people who know their are jumping on him. Susan trimbath market maker equals code for creating phantom shares by taking your buy order, not getting shares that settlement to deliver to you but requiring your cash payment anyway. Okay, so just know, you know a little bit about that like they're, so right, there they're just proud that they made that like the most money in this scenario, but it actually gets a little bit more deep than this shout out to dave lauer same queen, like These are both quote tweets.

This is a huge problem. It is not something to brag about segmenting retail order flow to an uncompetitive. Duopoly has made markets so toxic that we cannot count on other firms or expect any market-making diversity during market stress. This is a recipe for disaster, so coming back, we have them bragging about saying no, no, like we didn't ask them.

I swear. I swear. We never talked to him about this, like that, had nothing to do with us and in fact, right here we made a lot of money while doing it and we're taking advantage of a very toxic system this right here, these tweets this they should have said nothing. I'm not a lawyer, i am not a lawyer, but i i bet their lawyer had hair yesterday and is now bald today.

If i had to throw a guess out there, this series followed up with the lawsuit, followed up with the comments from february their lawyer, their pr team has to be ripping their hair out. So that's what i have for you. That's the current update folks. I am still deep in this rabbit hole.

There are still things to like uncover and talk about, so i just want you to know. This is the point, the current point, where i'm at with the whole ken griffin line thing diving into the situation, i'm just trying to keep everyone up to date on like actual facts, instead of just like we see on social media and things of citadel saying this Social media saying this i'm trying to like dive into it, so we all actually have the truth. Uh as i get more and more i'm gon na. Let all of you know i absolutely promise.
