Still trying to confirm. You can imagine that the MSM outlets won’t be rushing to confirm or even report it.



If true, this is pretty big.

I true, it should be a huge deal. It won't be with today's media.

That shine is fading pretty fast, huh? Of course, we can't expect much actual investigating or reporting of this, I'm sure.

It's not. There were multiple threads on r/wsb discrediting this already.

Do you think some low level IT guy really overheard White House level conversations with the CEO? fricking hell man.

This is another false flag to try and get the media to get people to turn against each other. Just like when they tried to paint r/wsb as Nazi's.

The SEC does this kind of thing if they deem it necessary. And they have sweeping authority to do just about anything to stabilize the market. Doubt the white house had anything to do with it or even cares. Hell Biden today said 400mm vaccines will cure 300 Americans. Then repeated it for emphasis. Seriously.
But let's not miss a chance to make shite political.

A Reddit poster was talking about this earlier in the afternoon. Wouldn’t surprise me if it those brokerage firms were calling in favors everywhere they could.

The only entities less likely to be held responsible for their actions than Wall Street is a Democrat holding public office. So don’t expect anything to happen if it’s true.

There will be no investigation into it. No one will ask questions about it in any press conference.

Serious question: How would anyone know if the "White House" did or didn't "pressure" any particular person or entity to do any particular thing? Is there some sort of official "pressure" paperwork that has to be drawn up, signed, and filed?

With billions of dollars at stake? Of course they would.

The last 4 years the media has had stories about once a week with these "leaks" regarding shite like this. "anonymous" white house sources were the story of the past 4 years if you trust media.

If I'm one of these slimy funds I would pray a rumor happens, too. Just like the playbook says, deflect attention from the root cause, which is Big Hedge. Blame others. Pawns will buy in.
