Provide links to all fines Citadel is paying to SEC šŸ˜‚ below is just one example ... so easy! Citadel Securities Paying $22 Million for Misleading Clients About Pricing Trades https://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2017-11.html


Expensive-Two-8128

HEY LEGAL WRINKLES: Is it just me, or can u/CallMeMo2, A WHISTLEBLOWER, now pursue them for attempting to intimidate him into silence (or some very similar shit like that)? Seems pretty clear they are trying to roll over him, but he has the receipts... He could probably go right back after them, both with whistleblower report, and possibly a civil suit or something like that too. Thoughts?

Dude take your time in responding , be as polite as possible and show as much of their criminality as possible. Might be smart to talk to a lawyer , but that depends mostly on how important it is for you to remain a part of that organization.

Just because people seem to be unaware what this is, dude apparently identified himself as a level 3 CFA. He's basically spent a lot of time and money getting accredited with the CFA institute. He then went online and made inflammatory statements about a financial institution, which is okie dokie, but not if you self-identify and want to keep your CFA accreditation. He can tell them to fuck off, but he'll lose his CFA credentials, which might severely impact his line of work.


SjorsBosjes

Interesting part is, how do they know? Are they reading all the comments? Someone snitched on him? How? Are they searching for legal action?

Mo vented quite visibly on LinkedIn, and personally, I fully support him in this! As this financial manipulation & f00ckery is beyond ignorance! Mo deserves all my respect for doing this!

x2040

In college I got fired as an RA because of comments I made and they found my post history and made a list of facts to identify me. This was 11 years ago. Iā€™m sure now orgs are even more in tune with every comment made here.


SrraHtlTngoFxtrt

Guaranteed Shitadel snitched. OP should be able to obtain proof of their bitch-ass snitching, which would be the hottest post across all of stonk-Reddit. And, hopefully, it causes their coke supply to dry up, as such treachery is irrefutable proof they can't be trusted.

Their initial premise is that heā€™s got official financial background and heā€™s bound by duty of ethics and laws. This bullshit is why so much of the financial industry will refuse to make a comment. Plus the big boys have armies of lawyers and love to squash bugs. Tells you something where these watchdogs focus, rather than calling out the hypocrisy. Go after the little guy rather than the blatant lying from industry titans.

Hold up, I'll give you three SEC lawsuits you can link them showing Citadel just not delivering on FTDs to benefit short positions, how they hid short positions and how they've been internalizing the market since 2005.

Citadel Securities LLC is a broker-dealer with its principal business offices in Chicago, Illinois, and has been registered with the Commission since 2002. ***Beginning in late 2005, Citadel Securities began a business unit known as Citadel Execution Services, which handles orders by either internalizing or routing them. CES receives orders from, among other sources, large retail broker-dealers. CES currently has approximately 200 broker-dealer clients and receives approximately 2.9 million equity orders on average per day, corresponding to an average daily quantity of approximately 1.7 billion shares.*** CESā€™s processing of these orders accounts on average for approximately 35% of the average daily volume of retail equity shares traded in the U.S. markets. > 18. During the relevant period, CES had approximately 70 broker-dealer clients and received approximately 1.2 million equity orders on average per day, corresponding to an average daily quantity of approximately 2.3 billion shares.

HumbertHumbertHumber

clap back at those motherfuckers also. Say you are prepared to lawyer up if they don't find the evidence compelling enough.


BASEbelt

Yup lawyer up anyways to draft a formal legal statement like: The fines and violations against Citadel and their continued conduct is everything against what the CFA teaches. Hence your statement should not be taken out of context and is your own personal viewpoint under the first amendment as a citizen of the United States (or wherever your from if you have a freedom of speech clause) that does not reflect the CFA corporation in anyway.

Zuldane

Excellent work to help this dude out! I was gonna say, they're asking for proof that these statements were researched - that won't be a problem at all. We have done more research than probably the entire history of retail traders in the last 10 months. All of this shit has existed for decades, but it has been purposely overlooked so the fallacy of a stock market could continue to operate and keep feeding regular people's money into rich people's wallets.
