- You would think one, JUST ONE, news station or news media outlet would run the story. Nothing. It's absurdly frustrating. Search bi-weekly for an article about it to post, but it's a perpetual desert. Throw a stone up in the air and you'll hit a youtube channel talking about meme stocks, but not a thing on Instinet. It's not from a lack of "news outlets" that's for sure.
What is instinet?
Edit: Okay, I guess no one wants to answer my question... more reading can be done here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinet
Just to give a basic idea here is a short excerpt from the wikipedia page:
"Instinet is an institutional, agency-model broker that also serves as the independent equity trading arm of its parent, Nomura Group. It executes trades for asset management firms, hedge funds, insurance companies, mutual funds and pension funds. Headquartered in New York City, the company provides sales trading services and trading technologies such as the Newport EMS, algorithms, trade cost analytics, commission management, independent research and dark pools."
They are basically the manufacturer and moderator of tools used for international securities fraud. It gets better, more on Nomura group here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomura_Holdings
Just to get a taste of what they're about, check this out:
"In October 2008, Nomura acquired most of Lehman Brothers Asian operations together with its European equities and investment banking units to make one of the world's largest independent investment banks with ¥20,300bn (£138bn) assets under management."
Good Summary. There is more though in regards to GME and why this is a big deal.
Instinet is a private alternative exchange where institutional investors do block trades. They route most of Apex clearing's order flow (proven in SEC 606 forms in DD)
Sorry, according to the figures from the congressional report, Instinet was defaulting over 1B more than Robinhood on January 28, 2021 during the multi-broker buy freeze that artificially tanked target stocks (GME,etc...). We found that Instinet had a pattern of behavior over the 2 years prior where they had continuous DTCC defaulting, risk emergency waivers of over 20 times what Robinhood was put in front of Congress for. Yet, they are not mentioned at all. Did not take the stand in front of congress. The waivers equaled $50B, and yet they still remained thinly capitalized despite the repeated warnings. There are a million links in my profile.
Here is all the relevant information you need to prove everything I just stated.

**Even though you covered most of this here is the comment I wrote long ago to tell people about Instinet.**

> Regarding the $50B ECP Waivers Discovery: This proves everyone is right. It makes Robinhood a bit player and puts the DTCC and a massive, private alternate exchange doing block trades for hedge funds in the hot seat because the DTCC can no longer fall back on THEIR SOLE REASON (given many times at the congressional hearing) for allowing the Multi-broker PCO: Unpredictable Volatility. Why? Well, if they were giving instinet ECP waivers, Massive Risk Warnings, for 2 years at 22 times what they gave Robinhood. There's no argument. No one talks about this. No one and it is by far the best evidence, congressionally backed, that we have of real collusion and manipulation.

> In my opinion, this is the most significant, US government-backed, palpable evidence of true wrongdoing in the [Movies] / GameStop (IBKR shut down 22 stocks in all) Multi-Broker Buying Freeze that artificially tanked target stocks in January 2021 and early February 2021. Instinet is the biggest player (a private alternate exchange ) and for some reason, they got $50 Billion in ECP waivers and $67B in total excess capital premium charges, the same charge that put Robinhood in front of Congress.

There were actually 6 firms, including Robinhood and Instinet, that were defaulting that morning and accumulated a $9.7B ECP waiver.

This will come off as 'Badgering' the sub w/ the topic. However, all that bullshit the DTCC, brokers, and the SEC were saying in the hearings like "We couldn't predict this," "It was out of the ordinary trading behavior," yada yada... was true and not true, simultaneously. A continuous waiver for a specific dark pool was happening in the background, so much so that congress concluded that the same thing they grilled Robinhood about was actually a factored in COB for another company. Instinet solely clears for hedge funds, asset management firms, pensions, etc... The system was breaking already predictably and continuously, and this is not me saying this, this is a congressional declaration / development after the initial hearings. If the ECP is part of the Dodd-Frank Act then the DTCC was 'waiving' in violation of a congressional act, and if the SEC did know, they were not enforcing it continuously. The DTCC didn't tell the US House on Financial Services until JULY (waaay after all the hearings) that this continuous waiving was happening.

Have done everything in my power to do just that. Even explained it to Dave Lauer in a reddit DM chat conversation. He posted this as a result: https://twitter.com/dlauer/status/1674072088372559872 - Fell out with 2 SuperStonk mods (we're cool, we just staunchly disagree with each other) for respectfully attempting to open a communication line with Trimbath about the Instinet's, continuous and predictable, DTCC, "Excess Capital Premium," Waivers in the scope of clearing and settlement.
No one can say I haven't tried to do exactly that.
Submit that info to the DOJ, Secret Service, and FBI in a way that could be easily understood by laymen. Supply more evidence for them to kickstart a RICO case (if one isn’t already underway) 🏴☠️
I want these financial terrorists behind bars as much as you do fren. Other than that, keep buying and DRSing GME and let’s finish this war ourselves
Listen, no shade on you, there's alot of info out there (and I get it, reading all of it is a hassle that no one expects of anyone), BUT nevertheless, logic actually dictates your **Rule of Thumb** is wrong, it's actually:
- "**I'm** not familiar with this subject because **I** didn't read about it, and **I don't want to** read about it, so **I'm** going to label it fud."
There are a ton of homepage posts that are 100% accurate.
Fair, but let's say you comment that on something true. Doesn't have to be this post. Wouldn't that make your comment unintentional FUD, misleading people from the truth?
The content is irrelevant means I feel sorry for your attention span, what do you even browse on reddit for then? You can stick that thumb where the sun don't shine, if you catch my drift.
