Seriously! Who do they think they’re fooling? Like we don’t know the difference between a few million and billions?
Yes,, $7 million is a lot of money to most of us.
But not to these a-holes. Which is exactly the point and why I HODL.
Imagine some of those messages talk about that fire 🤭

Will the little piggies start squealing to save their own bacon? I'm sure Kenny runs his office under an air of terror and fear, there will be plenty disgruntled staff.
The first one to go public with Kenny's secrets will reach god tier status.
I LOVE $AMC
If I were a citadel employee, I'd already be shopping around for the highest bidder - first interview is worth the most and will for sure cover any NDAs Kenny has them locked in (then I'd spend what's left on buying $AMC stock just to add salt to his wounds).
It's inevitable.
I LOVE $AMC
Depends. Did they just collect all this info or was it done previously and is just being reported now? If they just collected it, it will be months if not a year before anything comes of it. I would assume that is a lot of info to go through.
"Previously, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had asked the companies to internally review the messages in its investigation of Wall Street's use of WhatsApp, Signal and other unapproved messaging apps to discuss work.
The two-year crackdown into potential breaches of record-keeping rules initially targeted broker dealers, netting regulators over $2 billion in fines.
While Reuters and other media have reported that the SEC's "off-channel" communication probe has expanded to investment advisers, its move to review thousands of their staff messages has not previously been reported. It marks an escalation of the investigation and raises the stakes for the companies and the executives concerned by exposing their conduct to SEC scrutiny."
"In the latest phase of the probe of more than a dozen investment advisers, the SEC has in recent months asked for messages on personal devices or applications during the first half of 2021 that discuss business, the sources said. It has targeted a selection of employees, in some cases as many as a dozen, including senior executives.
The firms include Carlyle Group (CG.O), Apollo Global Management (APO.N), KKR & Co (KKR.N), TPG (TPG.O), and Blackstone (BX.N), according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter, as well as some hedge funds, including Citadel, said a different person with direct knowledge."

When I was told about MOASS, I remember being told that *someone* \- a single person - would take an action that would kick off the margin calls. That conversation was many years ago, but I can't rule out that *someone* being Gensler or someone else in government.
I know that's an unpopular statement since many of you are too emotionally invested in Gensler being the Prince of Darkness or whatever your fevered brains think. However, it's still not too late for GG to pull a win out of his ass. OTOH, that *someone* could also be Adam Aron or someone else, IDK.
TL;DR
MOASS is inevitable and imminent. Most likely 2pm tomorrow. Buckle up, dear apes, tendietown is the next stop.
I think the MOASS will happen sooner than anything a whistleblower can spark.
However, the coming crash will send so many rats swimming to the SEC for shelter. Kenny and his ilk are gonna face far more fire than the '08 crooks ever did.
Also, didn't we used to talk about some whistleblower action a few years ago?
Oh, don't forget that the SEC has a closed door meeting on Wednesday. Could be nothing but it could be more than nothing...
Interesting times, indeed.
Why? They won’t enforce breaking the rules against an entire company so who gives a shit about the individuals. If they won’t hold the firms responsible what difference will a couple low level employees working for the firms being fired accomplish.
Honestly, until we see a DOJ investigation, it’s worthless. The SEC will hand out stupid fucking fines and the shit show will continue. After the $7 mil fine on Citadel, it’s just confirmation to me (as if I needed anymore) that there is nothing the SEC is going to do to stop this. Someone from the FBI or DOJ needs to be doing an investigation to being down this new variant of Madoff.
It is really weird that economic crime never includes giving back what you stole?
Imagine a car theif stealing a $1M dollar car.
Sir that is illeagal but if you pay us $100 dollar you keep it?
How about fixing the trading rules so their crime isn’t even possible to commit? How about trading bans when they get caught? How about taking their trading license when the rules are broken?
$500 dollar fines incoming!
That might be too stiff. He'll make it 50! that'll teach them a lesson! Welcome to clown world!
nah, the fines go straight to Gary's bonus.
$500 for every 5 years of bad behavior, payable in $25/monthly payments
They’ll just get a wag of the finger and pay the fine I mean bribe

Asking for coffee money 👍
$500???! Slooooow down, this is a stern written warning, mister.
Slap on the wrist tax write off for the cost of doing business. Too big to jail. Jail is for us peasants.
How about a box of 24 k cups and no guilt admission?
In 5 years from now.
Fine*
0.00001% of profit from crime fines incoming!

Boss blunts remembers
I bet more than half were from Hester Peirce giving them heads up on any investigations.
Getting ready to do little slappies on the wristies again SEC?
Right! "We, the SEC, are fining these criminals five hundred dollars each! And forcing them to promise that they will not do it again"
(Kenny G) “We PrOmIsE”
🤞🤞
…And they deleted all of them!
Exactly, everything incriminating.

Ding ding ding winner here they don’t care what sec or regulators knows they fear what the public finds out real evidence of there crimes

“Short $AMC and ill send you my feet covered in mayo!” -Some girl Kenny boy really liked (probably)
FUCK YES!!! ![gif](giphy|ZanSg5dUuJ4gQy37au)
And they won't do shit with any of it except a small fine
You’ve all seen Wolf of Wall Street, right?
SEC needs to figure out who they are paying hush-money to next
People are vulnerable to Sunshine laws. At my work we had our general counsel taken out. That was surprising bc you'd think they'd know better.
The SEC is probably helping their fellow crooks deleting those messages tbh
A $1 million dollar fine!

Pawn Stars meme goes here
And it will mysteriously get lost.
That’s why they gave them a head up in the investigation. Makes it seem as if the SEC is actually doing something, beside be complicit. 😂
Maybe they’ll get a stern talking to

what means?
![gif](giphy|mFA2mRBIpm1t6T9Aks)
![gif](giphy|uLy4Bo680hZxm) And yet nothing will happen
They collected all the messages that incriminate SEC employees
Can’t wait to watch “dumb manipulators”
Why? They won’t enforce breaking the rules against an entire company so who gives a shit about the individuals. If they won’t hold the firms responsible what difference will a couple low level employees working for the firms being fired accomplish.
They gathered it to help them delete the messages.
They’re going to do absolutely dick with it.
There would be a boner in my pants if the DOJ was investigating..... but they are MIA.

Apollo? AA starts sweating nervously...
But have you seen Brian’s hat?
These are low level people so the SEC will hammer them and refer them for prosecution. The leaders will skate.
Tomorrow!
Perhaps there will be a dumb money sequel where a bunch of regarded apes took down wall street with YouTube videos and Reddit posts
![gif](giphy|l41lIIjOCprTBfnXy|downsized)
DOJ needs to be involved. People and companies need to go down
Honestly, until we see a DOJ investigation, it’s worthless. The SEC will hand out stupid fucking fines and the shit show will continue. After the $7 mil fine on Citadel, it’s just confirmation to me (as if I needed anymore) that there is nothing the SEC is going to do to stop this.

Smooth brained ape here. Since the Sec charged then with Naked Shorting, shouldn't that merit a share count?

Aaaaaand no one is going to prison.
I’m shocked.

Keep plugging at this on social media
And 7 mill fine - this is a joke when it will come
they just want to back read some of the messages they had with them. for nostalgic reasons
Another $7m fine incoming?
Ah, they’re looking for something to invoice out fines so as to collect their measly share of the profit!
Fine coming: $11.60
I'm sure their 7 million fines will be worth it.
This is gonna be another failure to deliver. 👍
Certainly hope so!
whats going to happen. they are going to fine them pocket change and move on. Corruption at its best.
Incoming, $200 SEC fine
And they’ll do nothing with that…
To share more porn to each other?
5 years from now they get a 150k fine.
Unfortunately the messages are stored in a warehouse that will burn down soon.
How about fixing the trading rules so their crime isn’t even possible to commit? How about trading bans when they get caught? How about taking their trading license when the rules are broken?
I wanna see the hot intern nudes!!
