Cytodyn Inc (CYDY)

[Chuckles759]

Here's an article that was found which has very interesting analysis and hypothesis of the Jun 30th CYDY bear raid. I've only found one reference to this external website on this board by Latane for a different article by the same author, but related to CytoDyn/Leronlimab.

In advance apology to Black-Ops with his very detailed "Naked Short" hypothesis and analysis of that day, I find the following article to be a more plausible scenario...and it actually fits in with the known CYDY short sellers' "reputation" defense I've found on Twitter, and other places, against it not being a "naked short" selling event...because that would away from their pride of being able to pull off something as grand and complex as this. They want their credit and recognition for how smart they are...dammit!!

Now...the question is would this type of coordinated stock price "manipulation" be legal. Selling short on a stock isn't illegal - it actually takes a lot of skill, research, and some cajones. Maybe the SEC would be the best judge of this...since we've seen the SEC FOIA Response letters posted different places that seem to center around Jun 30, 2020 (no investigation before....but then one after)...and we know who requested those letters...known hedge fund personalities...and we know what hedge funds like to do...yes...SHORT STOCKS. Could those FOIA requestors be part of this grand scheme....I'll let the SEC be the final judge of that....but I encourage everyone to do their own research. The posts are still there.

So...without further adieu (that's a play on french for "goodbye"...but you french speakers would already know that)...here's an awesome article to read about CYDY and June 30, 2020.

The author of the article makes note of not being aware of any SEC investigation....but we now know there is one...

Advantage Players and casino upper echelon will tell you the most damaging plays (to the casinos) are those conducted by coordinated teams.

It's the same in the stock market.

Here is an analysis of a coordinated short attack against Cytodyn which occurred on June 30th, 2020.

I have culled this information from a number of different sources for this analysis.

The names of the perpetrators are public and in fact they brag about what they did.

It consists of a few primary short Investors and a lot of minions.

Ok here we go:

Primary short Investor #1 has a Twitter following of over 250,000 followers. He promises them he will help them make a profit if they just listen to his advice

To be fair HE DOES ACTUALLY MAKE THEM MONEY!

For a week and a half prior to the attack Primary short Investor #1 tells his Twitter following to invest in Cytodyn at the current price of $4-5.

250,000 people invest into Cytodyn driving the price up. As it rises outside Investors join in driving it up further.

The coordinated attack is planned days in advance. In fact some of the minions could not keep quiet. They bragged about the imminent short attack the day prior laughing at how they were going to steal shares and money from long Investors. This bragging was on public forum message boards dedicated to Cytodyn such as on Yahoo.

The morning of June 30th with the price at $9+ a share, the primary short Investors began a huge volume of short acquiring. This actually drove the price up a bit further until it hit an All Time High of $10.01.

That's when Primary short Investor #2 gave the signal for the short attack to begin. The signal was a false and misleading report posted on his website that the SEC was looking into an investigation of Cytodyn with intent to halt trading.

[IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION NOR IS THERE CURRENTLY ONE BY THE SEC TO MY KNOWLEDGE. AND THIS FALSE AND MISLEADING REPORT WAS TAKEN DOWN WITHIN ONE HOUR]

Primary short Investor #1 links to it on his Twitter. 250,000 followers link to the article (this becomes an important part of the plan later).

250,000 minions dump their shares simultaneously!!!

As promised, these minions make money because they brought in at $4-5 and are now selling at $9-10. In this manner the primary short Investor delivers on his promises which of course attract an even bigger Twitter following for future attacks.

The primary short Investors make money because they know in advance there is going to be a massive selloff on the stock they just shorted.

Here is where it gets insidious!

As the price precipitously drops, it triggers automated Stop Losses!

Stop Losses are for the individual Investors protection. Let's say a stock tanks on legitimate bad news and the individual Investor isn't paying attention. Rather than suffer a total loss, you can institute Stop Losses mitigating the ruin.

Just as AP's are known to take anti-AP protective measures and turn them into a positive situation, so too did these short attack Investors.

The Stop Losses were calculated into their plan.

As the first stop loss triggers caused automated selling that contributed to the price drop.

Of course panicked Investors added to that by quickly dumping their shares.

But there were some savvy believers in Cytodyn who quickly rushed to Google if there was any truly bad news causing the runoff.

Searching for "Cytodyn latest news" would of course bring to the top of the search engine list the FAKE SEC investigation which had just been linked to by 250,000 Twitter followers. (Just so you see how well thought out their plan was)

That caused even savvy Investors to dump further.

As the cascading effect took hold the tumbling price blew through even more stop Losses.

Investors with no intention of selling found themselves completely divested of all their Cytodyn stock.

The price was brought down from ATH of $10.01 to $4.65 IN THE SPACE OF 7 MINUTES!!!

In case you can't envision that it looks like this:


ATTACK PART TWO

The primary short Investors, having made millions in the space of just a few minutes were not done.

As true believer Investors suddenly realized this was due to a short attack they began buying stock at the now discounted prices.

Similarly, those Investors who had their stocks stolen by the automated Stop Losses brought back in, as well.

Understanding that would happen the primary short Investors now purchased stock to ride the wave back up.

As you can see from the graph this caused the price to quickly rebound to the $7+ range where the primary Investors sold off.

They had made their profit. The price settled at around $6

The primary short Investors now brag about it because again, they need more Twitter followers for the next attack.









WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

Here is a video podcast of some of them bragging. SKIP TO THE :08:30 MINUTES MARK FOR THE RELEVANT CONVERSATION ABOUT CYTODYN. THEY EVEN REFER TO IT AS THE "BIG DUMP DAY". WATCH IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES

[Can’t embed video…but here’s link]

Finally here is an article that breaks the attack down with more specific info

These short attacks have persisted the last month but wary Investors have taken some counter measures. I will discuss this in a later post.

I hope you guys found this enlightening
