The 8 Step Playbook shared on CEO Roundtable (watch here): youtube.com/live/iRVqVEJK6… - Share with your CEO / Board if the co suspects #nakedshorts - 8 steps below...
(1/10) Step 1: Hire ShareIntel or @buyinsnet to track shares for 30 days. More likely low share price is due to (A) unhealthy business (B) toxic financing than (C) naked shorts. Get proof first.
(2/10) Step 2: Hire specialist lawyer like Wes Christian to advise on steps during first 30 days so the CEO & Board are prepared with next legal steps if/when they have proof of naked shorts.
(3/10) Step 3: Ensure naked shorts can’t achieve their goal of bankrupting or delisting co by getting co cash positive and profitable, and release guidance to reassure investors.
(4/10) Step 4: Set up Board-led Task Force to take actions. Audit committee protects against internal fraud & theft. Task force is needed to protect against external fraud & theft.
(5/10) Step 5: Report to SEC once you have completed first four steps, as well as any other appropriate regulators advised by lawyers. To ensure you’re being compliant.
(6/10) Step 6: Communicate to investors as they need to understand your findings and actions. Investors will support you if they know you’re working together to solve the issue.
(7/10) Step 7: Issue NFT Coupon with a blockchain-based exchange like @UpstreamXchange. This can be done within 30 days and can expose counterfeit shares.
(8/10) Step 8: Issue special trackable dividend, whether blockchain-based, merger or spinoff that forces share count. This may take 3 to 9 months depending on complexity.
(9/10) Bonus Step A: One off counts have only temporary effects, as naked shorts can cover and then short again the day after. So build an ongoing, long-term strategy.
(10/10) Bonus Step B: NakedShorts can only be eradicated through regulation or tech (blockchain exchanges, t-zero transactions). CEOs should lead by example with education & advocacy.

@BreakTheToy@Hil_Davis@palella@SteveReinharz (3/7) Roundtable Guest: Brian McFadden @BreakTheToy - CEO of Cryptyde $TYDE. Exec at $BBIG which did a spin-off of Web3 sub $TYDE as a special dividend in 2022. Company FY23 guidance $60M revenue. Market cap down 98% to $7m market cap. cryptyde.com
(1/5) Details on how our $GNS $10 NFT Coupon (announced today) will work. By being on blockchain on @UpstreamXchange each shareholder can be verified and we can issue further coupons in the future to keep #nakedshorts constantly on their toes.
(2/5) Step One: We expect to get approval to dual list on @UpstreamXchange in Feb, in time for the count date on Feb 28. You don't need to move or trade any $GNS shares from NYSE to Upstream to get your NFT Coupons.
(3/5) Step Two: We'll give all shareholders the link to set up account on Upstream, and those with shares on Feb 28 will then get one NFT for full shareholding. eg. If you have 100 shares, you get a $1,000 NFT. If you have 100,000 shares, you get a $1m NFT.
Top 5 Things I’ve Learned About #NakedShorts-Busting Special Dividends (No.1) Cash dividends don’t work as crooked brokers would rather pay dividends out of pocket and keep counterfeit shares hidden than have to cover. It’s a cheaper ‘cost of doing business’…
Top 5 Things (No.2) Blockchain based dividends force brokers to have to cover and clear counterfeit shares or be exposed. But approval process can take 6 months or more. Plus DTCC won’t distribute so needs 3rd party distribution. So can work but slow solution…
Top 5 Things (No.3) Merger or Spin-off can have same effect as No.2 in flushing out naked shorts and can be faster to get approval as they are more common practice. So more like 3 months. Faster but still not fast enough. Good solution if co has strong assets in subsidiaries.
Wall Street is throwing everything at $GNS - Buy side trading limits, launching options trading, negative rumours (all we were warned of). Meanwhile, here's my $GNS shares: Printed certs, locked up, off market, out of hands of brokers & #NakedShorts. Hold strong. #NakedShortsWar
Anti-Short Tip 1: Get co. stock transfer agent to issue printed shares. So out of market / out of hands of shorts. $GNS agent is vStock. Don't leave your valuables in a bank vault if you don't trust the bank.
Anti-Short Tip 2: Second best is to DRS your shares via same stock transfer agent. So still electronic but out o hands of brokers. Here's how vStock explains the process: vstocktransfer.com/drs-transfer
