Research has revealed that the originator of this via WSB is a low level trader at Mass Mutual, who appears to have broken some trader regulations in an attempt to hit a jackpot. Could he have been put up to it by higher powers? Possible. But no, questioning the MSM isn't tinfoil but automatically suggesting that this has been engineered to occur by people much further up the Wall St food chain is, at least to some extent. Traders do go rouge occasionally and cause problems but rarely to this level of effect. It looks to me, even outside of MSM narratives, that there's scrambling going on to contain this and then seize it to further banker agendas.
If you're suggesting I'm a wholesale buyer of MSM narratives then I assume you don't read many of my posts. I'm probably the biggest tinfoiler on RPF lol. I just think the truth of this GME thing lies somewhere in the middle. Maybe something a kin to 9/11 where it was known about beforehand and was allowed to happen but not directly engineered to happen.
Either way, we'll see what happens. I fully expect Robinhood declares bankruptcy very soon. Taking billion dollar lines of credit, severely limiting share purchases, forced liquidation of contracts, etc, on top of alienating most of their customer base only leads to that outcome. (Btw, the fact that Robinhood only very recently abandoned its IPO plans is a clue, to me at least, that this wasn't engineered but was allowed to occur)
The question will be what happens to the GME shares they do have custody of? Will they illegally force sell everything out of all accounts so the shorts can cover (since the account holders aren't the legal owners of the GME shares) just prior to a bankruptcy filing? Or will they make it really interesting and declare bankruptcy while still in custody of the shares, thus throwing the entire system into jeopardy since the shorts have no way to cover while the shares are locked up in a bankruptcy proceeding? That is the question imo. Knowing the answer to it would allow someone to quite literally get rich overnight.
