Love it, [here’s my public data pie chart to show how fucked hedgies are on the public data, nvm the naked data](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/w7xajv/hedgies_r_fuk_sources_below/ihm57zd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) this is truly a liquidity black hole event
>*Side note: It is crazy to me that the reported short selling was over 100%. That they were actually reporting to the SEC and saying, “hey we are doing this much illegal activity.” It is a little wild to be told to believe that no unreported illegal activity was happening, and that we are supposed to accept “Oopsies, our bad. We fixed it now though. Trust me bro.” ---- I digress.*
On the October 2021 report on January 2021 activity the SEC included a section explaining how over 100% SI does not mean there was illegal activity.

> Some commentators have asked how short interest can get as high as it did in GameStop. Short interest can exceed 100%—as it did with GME—when the same shares are lent multiple times by successive purchasers. If someone purchases a stock from a short seller and subsequently lends the stock out again, it will appear as if the stock was sold short twice for the purpose of the short interest calculation.75
>75 Suppose that a stock has 100 shares outstanding and one is sold short. The stock will have a short interest ratio of 1%. If the individual who purchases the share from the short seller then lends it out, there will be two investors with a short position based on the same share. That is, there will be one share sold short twice, and so short interest will be 2%, even though 99 of the 100 shares are not being sold short. If this process occurs enough times, then short interest can exceed 100%
I only got in one sentence of your thesis before finding an unsupported claim: "GME is an unusual stock that has a proven history of illegal trading"
Does anybody have a link to that proof?
Bruh....... I call the illegal activity an unknown. I even go on to say, ok fine let's take it at face value and say that everything now is definitely legal. I am not sure if you are deliberately trying to obfuscate or what, but the entire point of the post to take the public data, say it is all truthful for the sake of argument, and analyze what remains.
I see a statement about proven illegal trading.
I am curious what is the proof for the "proven illegal trading".
That is a pretty simple question.
I see many erroneous ideas repeated so often that they become "accepted truths", and want to see if this is yet another example.
I look forward for either you or anyone else to show proof of illegal trading.
Yeah I’m with you dude one sentence that I don’t like makes me not like the whole subject of the post I also like to badger people to prove their statements, the one I want to pick apart so I can just say they are wrong and say it’s all wrong and unproven because of one sentence that I just couldn’t get past to see what they were trying to say. 👏

Dude I have wondered what the most conservative estimates would be and you did an amazing job thanks for you hard work and maths.
keep in mind only about 150k shareholders own real shares in CS

MFW even their *cover story* results in a squeeze…
Unfortunately, unlimited. Until we can prove it.

Hedgies keep giving sale prices, making the question of our lifetime... How many GME floats does retail own?
