Ho boy…lol. Since I am not going to respond to each post individually I will round up all three here.
1) “Counterfeiting Shares 2.0”. That tome had its origins in 2014 I believe. It has come back into vogue and looks like people have added to it and someone submitted to the SEC recently as a “comment”. It is a large collection of some fact, a lot of fiction, half-truths and conspiracy theories. But I did LOL when I got to Appendix P “Confessions of a Basher”. LMAO. I guess whoever added that piece didn’t realize it was written as a joke many years ago by someone who was amused by the whole evil basher narrative. And like any good conspiracy theory it was lapped up and taken as truth.
2) Colak and Kostov - that was from activity almost a dozen years ago using exactly the strategy I have already discussed that was the last loophole in RegSho “deep-in-the-money calls”. It, of course has zero relevance today. And the FTD’s were there as the SEC release shows. What those guys were trying to do was reset the FTD’s so they didn’t get to the point of a forced buyin.
And even if it could be done today it has no relevance to MIKP because MIKP is not an exchange traded stock with an options chain.
3) and lastly, this post. I noticed the discussion was completely devoid of the margin requirements that have to be maintained UNTIL THE POSITION IS CLOSED. For any stock under $2.50 (which in the case of bankruptcy or “grey market” stocks - which would be pretty ALL of them), that means you get nothing back until the position is closed…because the margin required is greater than the amount shorted.
I am not going to get into a debate around conspiracy theories that even themselves have nothing to do with MIKP because it is a stock with no FTD’s, no short interest, and can’t be shorted.
If you are interested in such discussions I would suggest this board:
