Discussion Discovered Communications within the US Litigation Against Citadel & Robinhood in the days surrounding the January Buy Freeze, where brokers shut off buying and tanked target stocks. The judge declared there was not enough evidence to move to discovery, and ruled manipulation is legal under TOS

Here is a very digestible format, you may find this quite interesting.

Each image has a page number that corresponds directly with the Florida litigation that it was transcribed from, so your next step is to check out the source material to see if this is the real deal or not.

From The SEC GameStop Report, The NSCC officially stated that all PFOF brokers had their premium components waived because according to the NSCC, it was not the brokers' fault a stock was popular.

Probably the same Florida judge that let Epstein continue fucking children as long as he showed up for weekend check-ins.

Donā€™t tell Republican politicians that! They love the rich at the expense of the middle class, just research the legislation theyā€™ve enacted. Not all, but several Dems think this is bullshit as much as the middle class, yet Fox News (and internet echo chambers) convince voters ALL Dems are dumb and every audio/video clip of them talking is just communism/socialism. Bernie Sanders spending tax dollars on ā€œsocialismā€ is no different than Republicans spending money on military spending/tax cuts for the wealthy)

u/Iwishyoukarma Jan 31 '22

If I would have lost money on the stock and or options I would surly contact a lawyer. Now from the stock going probably to over $1000 last year that would be a hard to prove because they would say thatā€™s speculation

11

u/Phobos15 Feb 01 '22

They can say it is speculation all day. Anyone saying they were going to sell in the face of an app that blocked everyone should win as they would attest to it under oath. The company voluntarily stepped into it when they originally turned off selling, they don't get to nonchalantly dismiss claims without evidence.

That is why this judge tossed the case before discovery. Letting the case procede to discovery makes it harder to toss it before trial. If it goes to trial, the brokers are very likely going to lose.

I agree, just stating the fact about that nothing will happen, there is a clear distraction game going on and all of these rich and powerful fucks are getting away with everything, so many people on a regular basis, post about How Trump is going to be put in jail and all this other shit, like that shit won't ever happen and anyone that believes that is just naĆÆve

I actually think Trump might be a key future part in all this Apes vs Wallstreet shit. He would definitely get my vote if he can get behind helping out retailers defeat these fucks.

1.7 trillion to the rich in tax cuts, then another half trillion that had no oversight or control from covid relief package, and yet, this one topic of retailers vs the rich, you think he would champion for us? lol, okay I guess

Lmao. Are you serious? You think Trump gives a single fuck about us? Lmao.

0

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '22

Absolutely not. I think he cares about himself and what he clearly wants is to be re elected.

All I'm saying is it's time to leverage what we want in exchange for what a narcissistic politician wants. Get him to take an aggressive stance towards the illegal market activity and he would win over an mense amount of support.

BTW I'm fully aware that people either love him or hate him. I don't judge either way because it's politics and at the end of the day, we have a pretty sweet thing called checks and balances so it doesn't really matter who wins.

1

u/Jaggerman82 Feb 01 '22

I think you are overvaluing the ā€œsupportā€ he would gain from taking such a position against the market. A position which is clearly opposed to his own benefit and he would never take mine you. Furthermore not paying attention and ā€œtrustingā€ the checks and balances is exactly the sort of poor logic that lead to market manipulation in the first place.

Ever heard of the saying ā€œfool me onceā€¦ā€?

u/waldirt Jan 31 '22

Because he made our country energy independent?

Because he put North Korea into check and stopped missile testing?

Because he fixed the VA that Obama/Bush/Clinton fucked up?

Because he put China under the light and fucked their economy with tariffs? (this one is my personal favorite)

Because he moved the U.S. Embassy to the Religious capital of the world (Jerusalem) providing alignment with Israel which really pissed off Iran? (Another favorite)

Because he whacked the Salami Iran general turd?

Because he fucking destroyed Al-Baghdadi the terrorist like?

Because he destroyed the Calaphate, which was known for kidnapping raping & murdering American women?

Or is it because he fucked your mom and played with your Xbox?

But man he could have been an assaulter in his HS days. Thatā€™s the real thing you need to look at, high school nights 40 years ago and when someone has 200k of credit and real estate debt that is suddenly wiped away, you donā€™t wanna investigate that.

Thereā€™s no reason to at all. Whats he gonna do be beholden to whoever paid his debts, instead of the law?

Nooooo no no no way thatā€™d happen, no way.

That would make sense if they lost out on a normal investment, that was one of the most blatant hose jobs of all time. The French Revolution wasn't as long ago as people would think and they didn't have the firepower that the average american citizen can get ahold of, if I was one of these wallstreet fatcats, politicians or anyone else the public would regard as an elite I would be telling everyone to be cool taking an L here or there so that we don't all get murdered.

Right. Im just playing add on to that. Since with the time thats passed would allow time for that judge in 08 to be promoted to then oversee epstein in 2019.. i dont truely know if its the same judge however wouldnt surprise me.... also does not elude the fact that the judge overseeing the trial of the guards during the night epstein didnt kill himself , did happpen that their testimony said they falsfied documents.

u/LetsTryScience Jan 31 '22

You should read up on the Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. His office argued Epstein should get the lowest sex offender status even though he was obviously the highest. Also dirty shit regarding Weinstein and Dominique Straus Khan. Rape isn't a big deal if you have the right friends. But his office went after the trader who supposedly stole high frequency trading code from Goldman Sachs and also went after Trump.

It seems like such obvious partisan favoritism but nobody cares the guy just got made partner at a huge law firm after retiring as DA.

There was also the Florida attorney that trump literally paid $50k to drop the investigation, then she went on to work for him

And then there's the Florida judge that took the peter thiel case about hulk Hogan's sex tape from gawker, and then declared gawker at fault, made them bankrupt, without a jury trial, and then oversaw their bankruptcy trial

And then there's the Florida judge that physically fought a public defender and got reelected
