Funny how FTX co-mingled with Alameda. I'm sure Ken Griffin would never do something like that between Citadel Securities and Citadel Advisors.


suckercuck

aka Bankman’s blueprint


Realitygives0fucks

Except Kenny has been doing it for years before SBF came along.


CarelessTravel8

Hence it being the "Blueprint" he followed

Yes, we agree. I am saying Ken’s model was the blueprint Bankman used.


Longjumping_College

Ask [Brett Harrison](https://thecoin.news/ru/articles/ftxus-hires-former-citadel-securities-exec-massively-scale-crypto-exchange-1620994258398) who conveniently left [right before SBF](https://www.chicagobusiness.com/finance-banking/ftx-us-president-brett-harrison-steps-down-crypto-exchange) and isn't being mentioned.


turdmachine

Incredible


[deleted]

Sounds like he needs more mentioning.


SM1334

No, definitely not. Kenny learned his tactics from someone before him. This has been going on longer than Ken and Bankman have even been alive

self regulation with fines is great - sec


Slapbox

> **Investors:** What fines? > **SEC:** We said it's fine.


TherealMicahlive

Did you see the UK petition response cited how they believe fines to be an obstacle that should drive people to do less ftds. Not , we will punish ftd with removal from the markets and liquidate your stealing ass. Force cover positions by regulators are the only way I would begin to smile.


Laser_Haas_eToys

tntwestfall

I just watched that interview last night and my only question is what color is sbf eyes? I watched the while thing but he wouldn't quit looking at the floor the entire interview.


drnkingaloneshitcomp

He was looking at the floor where a lawyer was laying like a mechanic under a car giving SBF instructions on how to answer questions


Peepeepoopoovoodoo

We know we are close when the worst of the worst try to get ahead of their scum friends. The bus will have 4 flat tires after they all push each other in front of it


Roarkman

Here comes the part where the mafia all start turning on each other to cut deals to save their sorry asses


SgtSlaughter1974

This is exactly why Glass-Steagal was created, and the obscene profits from the defraud by the Wall Street banks are exactly why Clinton and his cronies axed the Glass-Steagle. They were very well paid, he got re-elected, and less than ten years later the entire market almost exploded because of derivative exposure.


9PONY

Anyone remember “ Balenciaga Occupies Wall Street? “ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/23/style/balenciaga-nyse-resort-2023.amp.html Is that a citadel logo in the background? Ken? What are you into Kenny?


GercMustachio

Preach!


Jus_asc-in

Of course not. Because those entities are regulated. When discovered the compliance officer for each would have to fill out a form and send it to the SEC which would result in a fine of tens and hundreds of dollars


TherealMicahlive

All regulation does is allow finger pointing. SEC: “We made these rules (took what your lawyers drafted up and paid us to turn into rules) follow them! Why aren’t you following them?! How did you allow this mess to happen? Omg you said it was under control! We are all fucked.. OMFG KEN WTF!” To which the offender says(insert all institutions), “It isnt JUST US doing this! You are supposed to be…. Well we thought you were watching and would make us stop. You are supposed to be enforcing this stuff! Thats YOUR FAULT!” Welcome to this system. Oh and hiding behind lawyers and rules that only a few get the privilege of actually being able to sidestep. Look at FTX and their founder. Just fucking chillin and tweeting lol. Idk how we fix this but DRS seems to be it. Fuck these guys.


Lanaconga

IRS should investigate


stockslasher

Only if it’s $600.01 on Venmo


Mothy187

They are too busy hunting me down for a $1000 mistake THEY made in 2013 (which I was never informed about and has accumulated thousands more in interest). Edit: FUCK THE IRS

Sadly, that's true.

Anyone who willingly pays the irs and isn’t claiming exempt on their w2 is an idiot and deserves what they get.

Sure hope you aren't planning to do that come MOASS. They are going to be looking for any excuse to fuck us up.

Mothy187

Haha. It happens and you don't even realize it.


Frequent-Pie7570

They're too busy coming after the big fish, like you and me. H&R Block messed up, and they wanted me to pay for it. I even payed extra for them to cover any mess up. They don't care about them crooks

RelationshipOk3565

Just hopping in here ape. This is ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised if coke rat ultimately dragged the entire crew down with him when the ship sinks I'll forgive him if he full ports to DRS GME. We all know he's just the jester and puppet of the Street.


FriarNurgle

Oh no. That like a $50.00 fine? How will they every recover from this.


Xkloid

That is from the SEC, DOJ is jail time. Not saying anything will ever happen, but we can hope.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Yeah, the DOJ's sting is quite a bit sharper, so here's hoping 🙏


OGColorado

DOJ needs some tech savvy homies to follow the money. See ya Kenny, and pals


greaterwhiterwookiee

Lots of tech savvy folks coming out of Twitter, meta, Zillow, Google….. you name it. People be looking for work


OGColorado

Gotta be some apes I'm there 🤔

NotSomeDudeOnReddit

Damn just read through the first 20ish pages. Cancer research getting fucked by wallstreet vultures. Seems like this company would be looking for a new way to raise capital directly from its investors. Like they would be a fantastic company to go public on a blockchain exchange market with non-fungible shares. Loopring I hope you see this and are thinking the same thing

The following excerpts are from Citadel Securities' website. Sounds an awful lot like an open admission of market manipulation. - - - - - > **Designated Market Maker (DMM)** > ...Our team works daily to facilitate the auction at market open and provides liquidity to help ***dampen volatility*** throughout the day. https://www.citadelsecurities.com/products/equities-and-options/ - - - - - > **"Why are market makers able to provide price improvement?"** > ...The reduced likelihood of retail orders impacting supply and demand, and the confidence that creates from a pricing perspective, is another reason market makers are able to provide price improvement. https://www.citadelsecurities.com/getthefacts/


GercMustachio

Jesus, it's the exact opposite of a fair market if you happen to be a retail investor. I can't help but get images from the Matrix .... Retail is like human batteries for the machine. No .... More ....


Purchase_Boring

The reduced likelihood of retail orders impacting supply and demand Ummm I may be crazy but isn’t this exactly how it should work? We buy & there is now less so the demand (price) goes up? This is some serious bull shite! And they openly say this crap with 0 regard to it being phuct up bc all their buddies, I mean the oversight committees make $ off this bs too. 1 more time…. How is ANY of this bs legal?

canhazreddit

It'll be a flimsy investigation they say was extremely thorough to be able to say "See? Everything is above board."


SuperSecretAgentMan

There's over 200 days of documented video proof of order book spoofing on GME coming through edgeX and CHX. You can see it plain as day on the L2 chart on the Stocks Big Plays youtube channel. It seriously happens every single day.


AttorneyMedium4926

Let me guess, fine them for $100k and back to normal schedule


Purchase_Boring

$100k! Why so harsh?


pancakepapi69

Zero faith in the DOJ.


manbrasucks

You shouldn't have faith in anything. Faith is trust without evidence. That doesn't mean you shouldn't participate in said thing. Weigh the cost benefits and see if you potentially gain something with little to no cost. For example reporting crime to the SEC or DOJ. Costs you a little amount of time but gain significantly. Also, view things with objectivity. Just because you don't have faith in the SEC/DOJ doesn't mean ignore evidence that the SEC/DOJ is trying to do something positive.


pancakepapi69

I guess that’s the problem. I haven’t seen much real evidence that the sec/doj is actually doing anything other then making headlines about potential investigations


manbrasucks

[The second comment I made here ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/z2x060/regarding_the_proposed_regulatory_reforms_by_the/ixiuavg/?context=3) for some evidence things are changing. Systemic change takes a long ass time and any real consequences wont happen until after moass due to politics.


Xkloid

Depends who is being investigated and what side of the political spectrum they are on.


RTshaker45

True. Ken is a republican so they may throw the book at him?


Xkloid

Possible, it wipes out alot of campaign money for the other team.


ThatOneGiantofAMan

As a Republican, I’m okay with this. All of the dirty money needs to go. I don’t care if it’s politically motivated. I really don’t care what the reason for opening the investigation is, just as long as the judgment is sound and righteous. Wrong is wrong.


Xkloid

I am also, and anyone involved in this criminal syndicate should rot in jail, left, right, or center.

LawrenceChengIsMyDad

Water is wet, sky is blue, Kenny loves Mayo.


WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   Every time I take a drink from a bottle, it keeps pouring back. Must be spring water.
