The #ButNothingsHappening cases are moving from the banks to the Hedge Funds who are rigging markets to profit off short selling & other manipulation schemes.

finance.yahoo.com/news/hedge-fun…
Looking at collusion between Hedge Funds & market research firms to coordinate trades to illegally profit off news before it becomes public.
The investigation is being run out of Los Angeles, instead of NY where most of the markets are located...

Does that mean it grew out of other investigations conducted by those offices?
Looks like a major investigation into some big players, but hese are not people with name recognition to the public...
Of course these short sellers have been pushing to have the small investors who sabotaged some of their short sales by colluding to buy up stocks like Gamestop.
DOJ is looking for evidence of collusion & false statements about funding & relationships with researchers. I'm sure there will be #receipts & communications related to manipulating the markets...
Industry insiders are saying this will all go away, like it usually does, because FBI won't find the evidence of coordination between these short sellers...

Times have changed with investigators using AI & big data tools to indentify suspicious activity to narrow investigations.
Some researchers have been paid specifically to go after companies the hedge funds wanted to short sell. One even got a cut of the profits from the deals that occurred because his research panicked investors to sell stocks & allow short sellers to buy at lower prices.
The researchers get paid by the hedge funds, then write dodgy dossiers about the target companies. The companies' stock value drops & the hedge fund investors cash in on their short sell bets...
I was right about why this office has the cases.

They previously brought the cases against JPMorgan Chase for manipulating precious metals markets & US Treasury futures.

How did they find it? Big data analysis for suspicious trades to get probable cause to investigate them!!!
Looks like the investigation began before Gamestop but they have issued subpoenas as recently as October, probably since then too.
Fake news based on dodgy dossiers isn't limited only to the political realm. It can manipulate financial markets to allow thos involved in the manipulation to profit at the expense of honest investors.
Of course these hedge funds are exploiting holes in the regulations, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people involved were also involved in lobbying & helping write those rules to include the loopholes...

The first flip by McKinsey!

Handed over the #receipts to DOJ to charge one of their former enior partners for helping fuel the opioid epidemic.

McKinsey is the world's Swampiest consulting firm!

Purdue Pharma case!

#ButNothingsHappening
McKinsey's Deferred Prosecution Agreement requires them to cooperate with FBI & DOJ for the next 5 years.

If they fail to cooperate in any way, this deal becomes their confession & the criminal charges are revived against the company.

Failure to cooperate could me debarment! Image
Debarment would mean that they would lose all their federal contracts & be prohibited from bidding on more for a certain number of years.

"Consulting" government agencies is one of their biggest businesses. But they also consult companies trying to evade the same govt. agencies!

CEO of UnitedHealthcare's insurance division gunned own in Manhattan outside of annual investor meeting.
Prior to 2021, he headed UH's govt division covering Medicare & retirement that Trump's DOJ accused of billions in fraud. #ButNothingsHappening nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-…
In 2003, UnitedHealthcare & othe insurance companies convinced Congress & the Bush Admin to create Medicare Advantage claiming they could save the govt. money.
Instead they overbilled the US for more than a decade until the Obama Admin investigated.

After manipulating rates by spying on patient medical records & using 'consultants' to find hidden patient medical problems so they could raise their 'risk' rate & bill higher premiums from Medicare, then they switched to an AI program to deny their care. cbsnews.com/news/unitedhea…

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts! Image
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals. Image
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions. Image

The Swamp draining gets to Raytheon!

Not to mention more Swamp draining in Qatar!

#ButNothingsHappening
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate!
justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal! Image

Continuing to drain the Swamp in New York City.

Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.

And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
I wonder how he got caught?

Could it be one of Trump's partners in catching Swamp creatures for the FBI? Image
The Republican Swamp Creatures are upset that another Democrat Swamp Creature is gettig drained!

Usually they aren't this blatant in defending corrupt Democrats. Image

Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
