FRAUDULENT MARKET MAKERS USING VARIOUS EXCHANGES TO TARGET MY PORTFOLIO.
The Collusive Scheme.
At first, I had to be identified. That happened by matching my posts from Investors Hub and Yahoo Finance Board to my identity. Next, my identity had to be coded to machines to track whatever I purchased or sold. Then, using facilities of the NYSE, CBOE, PHLX, AMEX, BSE, NSDQ, and more, the securities fraudsters, parading as market makers and associated hedge funds, proceeded to track anything that I held in my various portfolios and trade against me until I suffered financial damage. Initially, it was difficult to flush me out. Examples: PLAY (2020), AIV (December 2020 to February 2021, AMC (March 2021), I (2020), AFH (2020), LKNCY (2020), more on these later in the Book. Then, they expanded their number and shifted to manipulating values and prices of derivatives I sold as cover against my securities. While one group attacked securities in my portfolio all year —- RIDE, MPLN, AHT—- another group shorted options that I held long or purchased at higher bids all options that I sold as cover. So, while the securities were being sold off, certain options were either being shorted, bought up, or held at a steady price. This caused a wide spread and artificial divulsion from the underlying stocks. In most cases, they took out all bids or low-balled the bids, while tracking my portfolio. A broker had told me that several times they wanted to force-sell my positions, “no one was willing to take the other side of the trade.” Many times I would try to sell into a bid, it would immediately disappear. So that, as my account values were being manipulated down, I was trapped! In the midst of that fraud, Webull Financial technology, either intentionally or through a reckless malfunctioning, started miscalculating my NAV, and arbitrarily and without authorization disposing and buying back securities in my account. Whether Webull destroyed the portfolio in association or lockstep with the securities fraudsters parading as MMs will be discovered as we review and proceed against these wrongs on their own going forward.
First interface with Citadel and others
In November 2020, Citadel and four other Market Makers abandoned market making in an OTC stock to OTCOTC because I owned a good percentage of the shares and they could no longer short the name. These market makers returned to the stock in December 2020 after learning that I was sold off. Citadel, GTX Securities, OTCOTC, and others returned to that same playbook with RIDE, AHT and MPLN. Volumes dropped off these names as these market makers sold these stocks in synchronized pattern, pushing them as much as they could to get me out. The CEO of MPLN held more than one emergency conference calls after the company’s 3rd quarter 2021 earnings report as the company tried to grasp what was happening to their shares. These market makers sold that name down to $3.52 because of me. Similarly, the CEO of Ashford Hospitality Trust had used at least two occasions to highlight the high cash position of his company vis-a-vis the share price. Rob Hayes even bought shares at $14. That was when the company was trading at $14. Today, under $9, he must be flabbergasted! These securities fraudsters coordinated to short about 40 million shares of RIDE - and drove the stock price to $1.98 in a rabid use of their combined resources and exchange facilities to stalk and attack me.
