Don't hate the players if you don't understand the game.

Citadel is a hedge fund and Citadel Securities is an electronic market maker", both owned and managed by you-know-who. So Citadel Securities get orders via pfof and make money on the spread. Citadel, the hedge fund, can trade against retail in the dark-pool. We are not even talking about shorting/synthetic shares.

Some of this is illegal. But of course, no one can prove Citadel (the hedge fund) gets info from Citadel Securities. But given Citadel's past SEC violation and the circumstances surrounding Citadel and stocks (AMC, GME and in the past NWBO), You can bet your @zz...

All my opinion.

Nothing illegal in what I see them doing. They are just monitoring the buying interest and sell on the bid when it slows down. If they were doing phantom trades or anything like that, I would agree, but at these levels they are just trying to make a buck on the back of nervous retail investors or day traders. I, personally, try to figure out what they are doing and sell below them and buy above them. I have not done much trading this calendar year, but have picked up a few extra shares in my Roth IRA. I mostly do these trades when I am bored or when I don't see anything interesting in the general market.
