I believe it is the brokers that are on the hook if their margin calls are not satisfied, not the retail investors. Can anyone confirm this?

LOL. Is this what it’s come to now? 🤣

>>The big question for everyone holding shares is:
Are we holding any of the 2 BILLION synthetic shares without us knowing?

Well, do the numbers.

The 2B synthetic shares have been established by beartrap by virtue of sourcing to both Smith on Stocks and LG.

Figure the present real retail shares are about 1B and all the synthetic will be added to that. So retail owns 3B with 2/3 "counterfeit".

Now, if this stock goes to the moon you can bet the other side will vanish into the night. That would leave the average retail account with 1/3 of their account real and the rest relying on SPIC for a half mill. per account. So your decision to spread out is good if you have more than 50k shares or so.

Alas, it could be far worse. It is reasonable to assume that NWBOI is not special. So if the brokers/MMs/DTB have to deal with the same losses across the board it will be a total wipe out. Figure all accounts become worthless.

OTOH, maybe the original sources, LG and SoS, who assert the numbers based on no reason are just making up numbers and are not reliable.
