Transactions were authorized until January 28th, the day the buy button was turned off.
On January 26th, another document was released, updating the effective date to May 27th, which was the day after #Gamestop, #AMC & others, jumped.
At the PEAK of #Gamestop & #AMC price, Biden amended the Executive Order on June 3rd, delaying the effective date to June 3, 2022. Be careful, because the next EO could cause a run up at any moment.
Interesting article to consider given the role Blackrock and Vanguard play in "meme" stocks. The order forced index providers including MSCI, FTSE RUSSELL, S&P Dow Jones and JPMorgan to remove Chinese Companies from their indices. ft.com/content/f68aed…

As of 2/15, the Treasury Dept' OFAC is adding regulations to implement the Nov 12, 2020 Executive Order related to securities #INVESTMENTS that finance Chinese Military Companies.
@TradesTrey@masked_investor@ShortTheVix1
You guys please help me share this. Review it, and you'll see this is 100% on point. #AMC#GME are set for a movement and we may even see a stock market crash before it happens. Shit's about to get wild.
@TradesTrey@masked_investor@ShortTheVix1 I'm not trying to create false hopes here or anything of the sort. I just want people to realize, that something big could potentially happen...
Did you all see #AMC's movement in after hours just now? It hit $20 briefly before being shorted/sold back down quickly.
Edit: Effective date ON THE FEDERAL REGISTER 2/16/2022

🚨 CFTC: UBS CAN HIDE CREDIT SUISSE SWAPS INDEFINITELY 🚨
🧠 1. WHY THE CFTC NO-ACTION LETTER MATTERS
It allows UBS to absorb toxic Credit Suisse swaps quietly — no clearing or margin requirements kick in.
It shields these legacy exposures from public scrutiny.
It suggests the risk is so large or complex, that the CFTC believes enforcing margin and clearing rules now could cause chaos.
In short: This is a regulatory pressure valve release, and not because the trades are fine, but because they’re too explosive to unwind all at once 🌋🌋🌋
Archegos shorted Gamestop & AMC through the use of TRS = Bullet Swaps.
It bankrupted them AND ALSO their prime broker, Credit Suisse.
Now UBS is left with the legacy costs aka = UBS are the bag holders
A thread 🧵
💣 2. UNDERSTANDING SWAPS & THEIR ROLE IN SHORT POSITIONS
🔁 What is a Total Return Swap?
A total return swap allows a hedge fund to gain synthetic exposure to a stock without owning it directly.
Instead, the prime broker / bank owns the stock and gives the fund the economic performance (gain/loss/dividend).
Example:
Hedge Fund A enters into a swap with Credit Suisse.
Credit Suisse buys 10 million shares of GameStop.
Hedge Fund A gets the gains/losses from that position.
Credit Suisse hedges their exposure — often by shorting the same stock (creating market pressure).
👉 End Result: Synthetic short interest is created without any short sale being reported to FINRA.
🧊 3. THE “HIDDEN SHORT” PROBLEM — WHY DISCLOSURE IS DANGEROUS
🧮 Public Short Interest Is Incomplete
Traditional short interest only reflects reported short sales.
Synthetic shorts via TRS, options, and swaps aren’t included in those figures.
If the public knew the real scale of bearish bets — especially in meme stocks — it could trigger market panic or frenzy.
🔦 Disclosure Would Reveal:
Size of legacy positions in GME, AMC, BB, BBBY, etc.
Who holds them (which hedge funds and prime brokers).
How deeply some banks (e.g., Credit Suisse pre-merger) were entangled with these toxic exposures.
#AMC@CEOAdam calls on @FINRA and @NYSE yet AGAIN to investigate the FTD's on #AMC#stock as it nears ~24 consecutive days on the REG SHO THRESHOLD SECURITIES LIST.
What is it and how can covering of FTD's be delayed?
🧵 1/X
A threshold list, AKA "Regulation SHO Threshold Security List", is a list of securities whose transactions failed to clear for five consecutive settlement days at a registered clearing agency.
Settlement failures may be indicative of improper naked short selling. #AMC 2/X
SEC implemented REG SHO to reduce the abuse of naked short selling, where the seller does not borrow or arrange to borrow the securities in time to make delivery to the buyer within the standard two-day settlement period. #AMC 3/X
