So do I read this as they used the manipulated price drop to minimize their short loses but then turned right back around and opened more short positions? Basically willing to take this L on this battle but try to squeak out W or even just a tie down the road? Basically playing a long game of chicken?
People need to go to jail.
You damn skippy...
Be careful out there.
I dont know?? But This explains the tweet well:
"Why would they restrict buying for a day, forcing the price to drop, and then open up and let it grow again the next day? We know that they cheated and they must have capitalised on that. It's just simple maths. If they open a short at $4, then close at $400, then they've lost $396 per share (excluding short interest). If they instead close at $200, thus initially losing $196 per share, but open a new short at $400 and sell at $20, then they make an overall profit of $184 per share. I think that must be what they're banking on to not only recuperate their losses, but, gallingly, potentially make a much bigger profit than they would have with the share price going from $4 to $1.
Make no mistake, they are absolute scum if they've pulled that off. They deliberately took on the risk by betting against GME, but when the odds turned against them they cheated and made sure to take even more from the little guy. If I'm right, then we're about to see a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.
Maybe I am wrong and this is just a worst-case scenario that hasn't actually happened, and they just clawed back some of their losses. I really hope that I am wrong, and some billionaires get wrecked, but I don't think that's likely - they own this game, as they demonstrated by cheating. They were even shameless in talking about it on TV. They protected their interests, and now the wolves are letting the sheep back into their den."
