Another Epic AMA yesterday with Lucy Komisar hosted byย u/Luridess!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
โI am very glad to be in touch with the people on Superstonk. I think that you all are doing a really good job in the absence of real mainstream journalism on this issue.โ- Lucy Komisar

Investigative Journalist Lucy Komisar
We had a fantastic time hearing what Lucy had to say about us and about the issue of naked short selling, offshoring, and Gamestop. She had this to say and I think it cannot be understated how BIG OF A DEAL it is that someone of Lucyโs caliber, who has been watching this unfold for longer than a lot of us have been alive, has this to say about naked short selling and the GME saga;
โIn the end, as we go down through the years, the decades, it ends with Gamestop.โ
Howโs that for a hit of confirmation bias on your Saturday morning?
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
KEEP THE AMA HYPE TRAIN ROLLING!!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Tuesday at 4:30 pm eastern we have Attorney Wes Christian!!
๐ขAMA QUESTION THREAD IS NOW LIVE! SUBMIT QUESTIONS NOW!ย ๐ข
His primary focus in the last 11 years has been suing Wall Street for fraud.
Wes Christian is a Texas attorney withย an accent as big as his list of accomplishments! Once again Iโm going toย shamelessly plug the old documentary Wall Street Conspiracy, where I first learned of Wes Christian along with all of the other OGs weโve been talking to. And a fun factโฆ our former AMA guest and very favorite resident wrinkly brain,ย u/dlauerย has served as an expert witness for Wes multiple times in the fight against naked short selling. They go way backโฆ
Which is why weโre havingย u/Dlauerย cohost this AMA with his old pal Wes!! We are literally assembling the dream team here!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
did I mention Dave Lauer is one of us?
The Wes Christian/Dlauer mashup AMA is next Tuesday, May 18 at 4:30 pm Eastern!!
Wes Christian
Hereโs what Dr. T has to say about how she first met Wes in her book, Naked Short and Greedy:
Chapter 3: A Sidewalk Cafรฉ in New York. At the request of a business colleague, I have coffee with a lawyer from Texas who tells me that a problem was about to blow up the financial markets: Wall Street brokers are using short sales and fails to deliver to grab the assets of American entrepreneurs. I feel a pang of guilt for not sticking it out to fix this before I left DTC in 1993. By 2003, it was a full-blown regulatory crisis!
The Napkin Story
โOne afternoon [in late 2003], my boss tells me he has just come from lunch with an old friend, Gary Jewell, a Houston-based lawyer. Gary said that he was in New York looking for someone who understands post-trade clearing and settlement, possibly someone who may have worked at the DTC. My boss recognizes the company name as part of my past work experience. He asks me to meet Gary over coffee. The two of them had run marathons in their younger days and my boss presents it to me as doing him a favor. Gary brought Wes Christian to that casual meeting.
James โWesโ Christian, is a Senior Partner at Christian, Smith, & Jewell in Houston. If not for Wes, I may not ever have become aware that the crack in the system Ray Riley brought to me in 1993 was becoming a gaping chasm in 2003. Wes was born, raised, and educated in Texas. He comes complete with a pleasant drawl that belies his non-nonsense approach to the matter. Wes would lead a team of 65 lawyers as he eventually uncovered more than 1,200 hedge fund and offshore accounts working through more than 150 broker-dealers to strip mall and medium size public companies of their value.โ- Dr. Susanne Trimbath, Naked Short and Greedy.
We are so honored, humbled, and thrilled to bring you these top-tier AMA guests! If only we could go back and tell our February selves how far weโve come ๐
This just in: Jeopardy asks better questions than Congress

A note from your friendly local Pink Cat ๐
I want to say how proud I am of this community! The momentum has picked up, our bias has officially been confirmed, we know this is a matter ofย wenย we moon, not ifโฆ all thanks to the overwhelming growth weโve seen in the last couple of weeks and our amazing mod team. This is real, and you should feel confident in that as you peruse the sub, or as you interact with the people in your everyday life.ย The only way the shorts get out of this like they always do, is by driving the company to bankruptcy like they always do.ย And donโt forget that GME paid off all its long term debt a couple weeks ago.ย Bankruptcy isย completelyย off the table. In this unique scenario where we have the turnaround of a company with a dream team board of directors, the real unique situation here is THE APES ON REDDIT WITH DIAMOND HANDS.
Doย NOTย forget where we came from. ๐๐๐ Thatโs what got us here, and thatโs what will take us to Valhalla. Trust the companyโs plan and HODL. The professionals we are bringing on for AMAs are providing invaluable confirmation and validity to our sub and to apes (and ants!) everywhere.ย The heart and energy of this sub is quite literally the catalyst.ย By you buying a stock in a company you believe in, HODLing with diamond hands, andย VOTING YOUR SHARES, you are literally creating the MOASS.
Do you understand that?
๐APES ARE THE CATALYST๐VOTING IS THE CATALYST๐
BUY. HODL. VOTE.
The catalyst really has been inside us the whole time. โ
No date or meeting or rule or new CEO or merger or margin call or ANY OF THIS WOULD EVEN EXIST IF IT WERENโT FOR DIAMOND HANDS. ๐๐
Even Lucy Komisar believes in us!! WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!! We have debunked every cult accusation and FUD tactic thrown at us since January. Is this what it feels like to ascend Mt. Olympus??
Be excellent to each other!!!
Be friendly, help others!
We are here from all different walks of life and all different countries.
This doesnโt matter as we are all apes in here, and apes are friends.
Doesnโt matter if youโre a silverback a chimp or a bonobo.
We help each other, we care for each other.
Ape donโt fight ape, apes help other apes.
This helps us weed out the shills really fast, because if everyone is helpful, the ones who arenโt stand out.
Remember the fundamentals of this company.
There is no sense of urgency, this will come when it comes, be a week, be it a month be it six.
We donโt care, just be nice and lets make this community as Excellent as we can.
