Is Citadel working on a deal with Uncle Sam behind the scenes? (i.e, "we'll cover but you have to promise to make us whole for the good of the economy")
Remember in The Big Short when Burry's clients started pulling their cash out? And he was pleading with them to stay in? Watch Citadel holdings (and others) very closely. When all the Ritchie Riches start yanking their coin out of the box that will be one big catalyst.
I think you are right except I think it’s somewhere between 1 and 2.4 billion short, otherwise I think they would have covered by now or be forced to and this is why all entities around them are protecting themselves.
