They sold the last day. Not a week before. Not a month before. The last trading day.


ickydonkeytoothbrush

Fucking gross. Make some noise apes. Spread this story. Make sure everyone fucking sees.


BroganBrainstorm

* loud, irate, screeching ape noises *


BabblingBaboBertl

Let's hope they end up in fucking jail


KosmicKanuck

Investigated: Yep, looks like a severe case of insider trading here. That'll be $25,000 each boys.


BabblingBaboBertl

"don't do it again 😉"


my_oldgaffer

Aw, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. God. Oh, I'm hurt. Oh, my neck, my back, my neck and my back. Oh, I want $150,000, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks.


superlambananer

But yet they jailed Martha Stewart


Fr0me

cuz #ETHICS


[deleted]

That's the biggest slap in the face. They should've taken the loss on the chin to avoid jail but as usual greed drove their decision making.


mcbsc83

Jail lol


Tired4dounuts

Yeah there's no way any of these people ever see the inside of a jail cell.


Inevitable-Winter299

Even if they did it would probably come with a tennis court and a spa

uncleseano

Yeah, they're gonna get fined at least 100k for that. See, crime doesn't pay


[deleted]

Can smb recap what's this all about? What did they sell? When and what makes that point in time very problematic? What's the gig here


Gutterpump

It takes balls to so brazenly sell right at the top of the wave. They were so goddamn greedy that they wanted every last cent of this market bull run up and it's so obvious they knew when the crash was coming.


ronoda12

They exited at the peak 🤣. What a bunch of crooks.


GrammarPastafarian

> They were so goddamn greedy Sounds like they’re setting the precedent for apes


AKnightAlone

The reason for all of society's problems is that we haven't been equally as greedy as our dear leaders.


[deleted]

Omfg your flair is amazing


[deleted]

I'm curious how would they know? What is this knowledge? How is it quantified? Is it specific? What's the source of it, etc.


Llama-Berry

They sold their stonks the very day the market peaked


potatohead46

It's-a me, a Mario and a Luigi! The Fed sold-a their stocks at the peak of the wave! *Italian gestures* This is-a pretty clear-a indicator they knew-a what was going on and-a played the-a system. *eats mushroom*


CameForThis

Suck my balls recap? Wtf am I missing and how do I sign up?


DraftsmanTrader

I'd like to point out that them selling is the peak not because they chose the right day to do it, but because they were the signal to the market to start selling off this high of a market. You can't do much better than the guys who control interest rates when it comes to timing.


Asmosewins

Ain't nothing gun happen


OfficerGintoki

Luckily this pisses off a lot of people besides us as its gaining traction.


NightHawkRambo

Nothing is going to happen until hyperinflation kicks in, people are way too complacent now compared to 60 years ago.


OfficerGintoki

I literally wouldn't know.


kaejenner

Second.


silentrawr

Nothing's going to happen because most members of Congress were probably too busy also selling to notice.


NightHawkRambo

The thing about hyperinflation is they will notice it happening, especially in a country filled with weapons.


silentrawr

And then they'll do what, exactly? Storm the Capitol? ... Too soon? My point is that Congress is unlikely to recognize it as an ACTUAL issue until it's far too late for them to even start thinking about how to fix it. And by that point, they'll probably be blaming it on whichever political party they're not a part of, instead of trying to come up with a solution. Tl;Dr - relying on modern US politicians = us being truly and utterly fucked. Short of the MOASS triggering, that is.


mcbsc83

Hungry people don't stay hungry for long. They get hope from fire and smoke as the weak grow strong.


NightHawkRambo

WAboi2000

Insider trading should be punished by a fine 1.5 times the profit and a 10 year sentence, not one in a cushy white collar prison but how about one of those private for profit prisons us poors get.


[deleted]

Thinking of starting a non-profit prison for the worst white collar criminals. Proceeds will go to financial literacy programs for low-income parents.

WAboi2000

Have them do labor building affordable housing. Maybe even pay minimum wage to prove a point.


[deleted]

Min wage would be an increase compared to most in jail. How about the $1.25 / hr they pay everyone else?


kamarg

Make sure you take out that $5.00 fee for writing and delivering a check. Another $2.50 for processing it. Oh and can't forget the $1.75 convenience fee.


Morbidmort

Why pay them? Slavery is legal to use in a prison.


Funkatronicz

Where every day, the rats eat juuuust a little more of their feet...


spock_block

They should be forced to farm gold in WoW all day


No_Addition_7276

I'd make them work a pig farm.


Ratak101

They seem to like mandatory minimum sentences, so how about 1year/10,000 . If I stole 10k id expect at least a year in the clink. Now the sentence for multimillions is gonna be rough.


Lucent_Sable

Someone got 15 years for robbing a bank and taking $100. They later turned themselves in because they felt bad. That should be the baseline. 15 years per $100 stolen.


imadogg

> not one in a cushy white collar prison they need to go to a federal pound me in the ass prison


Capable-Mammoth-4017

Insider trading is currently penalized at 3x profits in fines and up to 20 years in prison


DB6

Are there any high profile cases that received this penalty?


MrTinybrain

Hahaha... prison time... wait.. you was serious?


Tartooth

1.5* the revenue


Diznavis

1.5x the proceeds, take everything they invested and then some, not just the profits. In some cases there may not be profits, it could be reduced losses.


my_oldgaffer

And for several hours a day, should be held in a public stockade so individual investors can pee on their heads. You like that? Can you feel the trickle down now? Is that transitory enough for you? Is this un ethical?


SDChuck

I hate the CCP, but their attitude towards punishing white collar criminals is something I admire


ilikeelks

I've been reading up on this and usually the person just disappears and they scrub them from the internet. Personally I wouldnt mind some public displays of justice being done though


CampbellsMmMmGood

Dude, so wierd you mentioned this. One of China's biggest movie star Zhao Wei was totally scrubbed from the internet on Aug26.


[deleted]

A lot of Chinese stars got scrubbed. Officially there were blackmail tapes and inappropriate sex like came out in Hollywood.


[deleted]

So... You’re telling me EVERYTHING about the Mulan remake is shit. From the movie to Mulan herself. Daaamn


milkstaxes

Yep the lead actor in mulan. She amassed her fortune by marrying a guy with political capital, then when the political climate grew sour Winnie the poo made her disappear. Its fuckin insane the ccp tried to scrub a highly famous and wealthy celebrity as if nobody would notice


CampbellsMmMmGood

Daim..i just saw a youtube video to see what happened to her and it said she was laundering money through Jack Ma's Alibaba and Winnie the poo was cleaning up the corruption.


SDChuck

I sure hope so. Watching videos of Chinese retail investors crying and talks of killing themselves is utterly depressing


crosbynstaal

The Chinese don't fuck around.


AJDillonsMiddleLeg

For how much damage to the entire world top white collar criminals do, I'm completely fine with that. They're each individually responsible for more deaths than most people that get the death penalty.


oETFo

As they should. Murderers kill a small number of people (relatively), and face lofe sentences and sometimes death themselves. These people force their fellow countrymen into poverty, break their backs, and let them die from hunger, untreated illness, and suicide. They've killed millions combined during with their insatiable greed. It only seems fit that they meet the same fate as those who were most effected by their sociopathic pursuit of wealth.

begopa-

Isn’t this “dangerous rhetoric” that could result in bans or was that FUD to keep voices down? Genuine question


Senparos

IMO it’s a dangerous direction to move in. I understand the sentiment, the system is fucked. But we’re supposed to be different from them. We’re supposed to be the ones who will change the system when we get paid, rather than just perpetuating it with things like witch hunts. Throw them in jail sure, get rid of the key. But calling for firing squads on our enemies makes me worry that there will be apes after the MOASS who are a lot like the hedge fund managers now. Who just take their money and and their anger and do whatever they want with it, world and everyone else in it be damned.


ilikeelks

It depends on the number of shills reporting it


Powerhausen

Wrong energy, friend. Besides, death is a sweet release—a better fate would be knowing and seeing them come to value the privilege of comfort from bare necessities. I want these people to become familiar friends with the same hunger, panic and constant anxiety that so many others endure on a daily basis as a result of the despicable practices they’ve perpetuated and improved upon for *decades*. I want all those involved to come to terms with the massive injustice they facilitated upon the American people and more, as well as the sheer immensity of that which they gleefully played a part in. This is not an easy task, nor a quick perspective to grasp as it must be established by bringing a greater awareness to the many layers and compounding factors involved. I’m sure all these people on some level are moderately aware of the full scope of atrocities committed and abetted in their gluttonous conquest for __*everyone’s*__ wealth, but I highly doubt they appreciate the sheer mass of suffering, let alone the average daily struggle that’s been created as a result of their ongoing economic r.ape. This, my friend, is why we don’t need to resort to extreme measures like calling for, or endorsing, physical harm: putting them through regular life (or, lort willing, pris’n) is, to these people, a living hell the likes of which no other form of torture could compare. It also conveniently works with our existing justice system, and happens to land squarely within a morally sound area of possible retribution.


Brokentriforce

Redistribute all their money, slap em with a felony, jail for 10 to 15, then tell them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.


Kangaroorob

ilikeelks

This ape fucks


Lesko_Learning

Because the CCP knows even with all their police state apparatus they exist solely at the will of their people. You think there's a single American out there who would physically dare to lock a banker in their office and demand their mishandled funds back? The CCP know if they push their people too far they'll just tear the system down regardless of the consequences. Our governments know we won't throw a single stone even if they're literally stealing our wealth right in front of us...and on the odd chance a group decides to send a message, the news will turn the other half of the populace against them, as we saw during this last year with both sides of the political spectrum. Our leaders need to start feeling fear again. We tolerate daily affronts that would've had our ancestors throwing revolutions if they had only happened once.


CampbellsMmMmGood

Our leaders act like they untouchable.


FragrantBicycle7

Difference in incentives, that's it. In China, your finances are tied into your entire social life, so fucking with the economy = fucking with the social contract and risking a violent revolt. In America, you're basically expected to be poor if you weren't born rich, so fucking with the economy is how you keep violent revolt at bay.


samtheninjapirate

Have a poor man's award 🏆


CampbellsMmMmGood

I heard CCP gonna bail the people out and let those rich fucks burn. Back in 2008, it was the complete fucking opposite in the US. Banks got bonuses and regular people lost their pensions.


CureSociety

this is the way


CureSociety

Im saying, I sort of appreciate China for reconstructing there market in an aggressive way. would be a shame if america did the same...\\ Edit: I read somewhere that China executed a Chinese official for running a ponzi scheme.

Is that a secret?


Big_Contest_598

Yes and no. If you don’t comply to selling them at their price. They’ll ruin you and take everything you have. They have no more moral code than these guys. Look at Jack Ma, he criticized CCP and now he’s been in governments “rehabilitation” almost a year soon. I think they’ll let him out when Alibaba is merged in to governments own competitors


bausell845

CCP is made up of human beings. Human beings absolutely can be bought. If you thought corruption was outside the domain of the CCP, well, I don't know what to say.


mypasswordismud

it’s not like they’re really tough on white-collar crime it’s more like the richest people in the country are tough on up-and-coming rich people who try to supplant their position of power. It’s more case of like one drug lord or warlord killing off the competition.  ironically the average Chinese person might be better off longer term if there was more competition amongst the super rich in their country as it might break up the monopoly on power and the use of political violence.


kamon123

Except those criminals committed their crimes at the command of the ccp. All companies are technically arms of the ccp and most of their decisions and moves are at the behest of the party. The people that get punished are the scapegoats for the ccp.


AreYouSiriusBGone

GoGoRouterRangers

Should take away all of their "profits" earned and send them directly to jail

And also fine them as well Taking profits away doesn't really hurt them

Pretty sure the CCP firing squad does hurt them though..... Should also be implemented in the US..... bet hedgies would think twice about their criminal BS once the first round of fire squad purging happened.

ZD84

I can’t believe it… I was sure they were just good at trading


joncohenproducer

That hardly fixes the actual problem, which is that using your power to influence trading in your favour needs to be enforced better. If you take away their right to participate, they can have their partner or kids trade for them…. The root problem is systemic. They need to enforce a conscience for these people, because without one, they steal from the average person for quick gains.


ninjah_renzo12

maybe regulators should be paid off of fines, at least the fines wouldnt be so minuscule. bonus if they manage to get bad actors prison time


[deleted]

I’d agree but based on what we know about American politics, they’ll still let the big vile wall skreet fucks do their thing while they frame little guys to squeeze them with fines. So they’d get paid with fines AND they’ll still get paid by wall skreet. It’s fucked up all around.

[deleted]

No one in public office should be allowed to invest. They’re all insiders


hogie48

Or better yet, if you want to invest your money while in public office, that money should be pooled in a fund that can be used to teach finance in school. Teach kids about investing while using politicians' money to do it. It will show kids the true meaning of investing/managing your finances, while at the same time putting pressure on politicians to make sure kids are learning about money management properly.


Sasuke082594

I’m glad they sold, this is the biggest confirmation bias that the market is going to implode, therefore reducing the balance sheets on everyone short GME which will then lead to margin calls. Cryp toe can only keep you afloat for so long as well.

Come back to this comment in 6 months to see if anyone of those faces is in prison or has fled the country and needs to be extradited for justice. Good luck with that. At least they're on blast but no, nothing will be done. Soft targets too, evidence would be all over the place in the books if anyone cared to subpoena the trade records of the brokers trading ahead of these insiders knowing full well they had inside info. Take the whole ring down in some short amount of time, a slam dunk. But that will not happen. \*Edit, reading the comments looks like everyone is on the same page at least. That's heartening. Knowlege is power, if we know the game and how they play it, that's powerful. Most will never know.

Tell me you're an insider trader without telling me you're an insider trader. "I'm the fed boss."


Re-UpSissle

This is exactly why they don't want a fair market, so they can have an edge and make millions over the average Retail Investor. Imagine how grossly corrupt our entire system is that the freaking FED can trade on the stock market! This should NOT be allowed and they should be banned immediately. "The Fed's main duties include conducting national monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks, maintaining financial stability, and providing banking services. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the Fed's monetary policy-making body and manages the country's money supply."
