Welcome back to the channel everyone today, i want to talk about citadel investors, potentially losing everything just like what recently happened to investors, events and funds so stay tuned and let's make some money, and i want to dive straight in with the key information. So dr marco metzler, just posted on linkedin, saying citadel investors are on the verge of losing all of their investments. He said the u.s department of justice has recently targeted ants and funds in a criminal investigation focused on market manipulation, insider trading, spoofing and fraud. He believes that's something that is also very likely to happen to citadel, if not already being done in secret.

He says worst of all fans and funds citroen research, a firm that has also released short reports on amc, said in a statement that it's cooperating fully with the government's investigation. According to bloomberg's description of the justice department investigation, money managers are suspected of attempting to induce stunning stock declines and insider trading, and now it's apparently been confirmed that a number of short sellers affected companies and several individuals have come forward and begun cooperating with the justice Department in the investigation, this is terrible news for ants and funds investors. It ultimately means that any funds anson may have earned through illegal activities could be seized and actually a little bit later on in the video. We have the figures of just how much fines they could be facing.

He says this could put all investors in the ants and funds at risk of losing profits from illegal trades and potentially the underlying capital, as well, even worse for investors. Those who remain in the fund could face additional justice, department investigations and the justice department not only seizes profits but also imposes punitive damages for fraud, which, as noted above, can be five times the profits. So if anson illegally made 300 million dollars in profits over the last three years, the company could face up to 1.5 billion dollars in fines and the seizure of the 300 million dollars in profits and obviously that's a very tough situation for a fund. That only has 1.4 billion dollars to work with, including all of that investor capital, and it could be much more devastating for citadel, which has just under 38 billion dollars in investor capital and over 230 billion dollars of actual assets under management.

Dr markham extra says shareholders. Now have little time to act before the damage is irrevocable. If they request redemptions now they may be able to get their funds back before the justice department brings charges against anson and seizes everything under u.s law. It will probably only be a matter of time before one of the most criminally involved.

Hedge funds in the u.s is also under investigation by the department of justice.

Now there was actually some original due diligence on and some funds that was performed over nine months ago. The poacher said, while this doesn't go into huge depth about naked shorting, it does give us insight towards the other dealings that anson funds does to attack. Small companies actually making a difference.

Anson fund is a canadian asset management company and hedge fund that specializes in short selling. At first glance, they seem to be like any other hedge fund operating in the markets like citadel, for example. But although upon closer inspection lies a tale of greed, corruption and criminal activity, the preferred operating method is to wave a wad of cash in the faces of small-scale businesses only to severely short the company post-ipo. They use insider information to launch smear campaigns and spread misinformation on various social media platforms and financial boards.

Just like what's been happening to amc over the last year, ants and funds were notorious for fabricating, rumors and bad pr on the following companies, many of which no longer exist. The xenobis tilray alfrea face drive genius brands and the green organic dutchman now i'll leave the link to this post down in the description below. So you can give a read to some of the companies that were shorted by ants and funds and as a conclusion, it says, despite the overwhelming amount of evidence, anson funds continues to operate alongside a corrupt, posse of hedge funds and news reporters says they represent everything That is broken about the markets and remain a glaring example of the shortcomings of regulatory bodies. Bear in mind this article was written nine months ago before anyone even knew that anson funds was being investigated for their malpractice and it's very very possible that in nine months time the department of justice could be releasing a very, very similar report on citadel, speaking of Which i also wanted to talk about sec, commissioner elad l roizman announcing his intent to depart the sec.

Now recently, there have been a number of sec employees leaving and therefore elag could just be one of many sec employees trying to get out before it all comes crashing down and before they end up taking the blame for it. On top of this, i also wanted to touch on adam aaron's recent tweet, celebrating the success of the new spider-man release. He said the self-absorbed all-knowing so often wrong, conventional wisdom that streaming will defeat. Theaters just does not know how to process the news of the 253 million domestic opening of spider-man, the third biggest opening of all time, hey prophets of doom choke, on that he also give an update on that as sony pictures just released, an updated figure and spider-man Is now the second biggest movie opening of all time, even including pre-pandemic times now that to me sounds very bullish indeed, if you want to pick up a t-shirt, just like this be sure to check out my store down in the description below now.

On top of this, amc just triggered a short squeeze signal on ortex, which obviously is bullish as hell. The last time amc actually triggered an ortek short sweet signal was a long time ago, probably back in june and july time. I think it may have also generated a short sweet signal back in the run-up towards that 53-56 area that we saw back in september, but nothing since then, and therefore this is obviously very very bullish, as amc seems to be moving against the wider market and has Been having some very very good days recently, over the last five days, amc is up 41.9, which obviously is brilliant, but personally i'd love to see. Amc have some 40 days or some 100 days over the next few weeks.

Now, on top of this, i also wanted to touch on the wider market. You may already know that nancy pelosi opposed the idea of members of congress not being allowed to invest in or trade stocks, obviously because she's, the queen of insider trading but aoc, has pushed back on nancy pelosi's stance against banning congressional stock trading. Aoc said we write major policy and have access to sensitive information and therefore, obviously, members of congress should not be allowed to invest in and trade stocks. Business insider recently found that 52 members of congress and 182 senior staffers have violated the stock act.

I personally think it is crucial for the fairness of the market that people that have access to insider information, like members of congress shouldn't be allowed to trade in and invest in stocks, because, obviously, if they do have access to all of that information, they can make Trades ahead of the market and profit massively, you may say well tom: does it really make much of a difference if one or two people invest ahead of the market, but you have to remember that, because they've been doing it for such a long time, they've built Up massive massive fortunes, hundreds of millions of dollars in size and when people have massive fortunes like that, it can move the entire market and it can crash stocks. Therefore, many regular everyday americans could find themselves losing a ton of money through no real thought of their own, and finally, i also wanted to quickly touch on the reverse repo figures. For today, where we set a new record once again of 1.75 trillion dollars in that overnight, repo facility over the last week that overnight, repo facility has increased by nearly 250 billion dollars, going from 1.5 trillion all the way to 1.75 trillion. This is an absolutely ridiculous increase over the span of a week or 10 days at a push based on this trajectory.

It won't be long, maybe another 5 days to ten days before we hit two trillion dollars in that overnight. Repo facility guys be sure to. Let me know down in the comments below what you think about citadel investors potentially losing everything and, as always, guys, if you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out some of my others. Alternatively, subscribe to the channel and ding that notification bell, because that way, you'll be alerted when i upload a new video cheers.
