So amazon gets an easy buy out and they all profit guys be sure to put your tin foil hats on for this one and stay tuned and let's make some money, but guys before i dive into the video.

So, what's a bust out in a bust out scheme, the identity and credit line of a business are used to obtain loans and goods with no intention of repayment. In some instances, businesses are created for this sole purpose. In others, legitimate businesses are required and used for the fraud in this post i'll go over. What, i believe is a scheme set out by amazon to capture and kill companies for market share.

The scheme involves amazon, identifying a target and, with the help of its gang members, citadel and bain capital, or most likely d e shaw, it busts out the target using it to capture and kill other competitors in the process. This could effectively be the reason why amazon has managed to grow so much over the last 20 years, with almost zero competition and they've been bankrupting pretty much every potential competitor in the process. Who is now the biggest retailer of kids toys? Amazon? Who did it used to be toys? R us what happened to them bankruptcy? What about movie rental platforms? Well, it used to be blockbuster now it's amazon and netflix, and actually amazon even used to host netflix as well. What happened to blockbuster bankruptcy? Clearly, amc is one of amazon's only remaining competitors, and now amazon is trying to do the same to amc.

So in the beginning, amazon acquired the competition legitimately. Amazon has been known for capturing market share of just about every single sector of the retail space, and now it has its eyes set on movies and maybe even at one point wanted to get into the gaming sector as well. Amazon started relatively small and it set its sights on easy targets books, but beezus wasn't actually interested in just books. He wanted to create a company that was so big and so dependent on retailers.

The retailers were dependent on it and the reason why amazon, citadel and d shaw are working together is because by naked shorting competing stocks, hedge funds can then reinvest those proceeds. The profits that make from the naked short into amazon stock, essentially wall street, steals money from a competitor's market cap and artificially inflates the price of amazon stock. I believe this is the largest successful financial scam pulled in history. Amazon stock is the highest percentage returning stock.

In the last decade, amazon was only 43 dollars a share at the 2008 lows and obviously amazon now trades for around 3 463 a share. So that's a fairly good return. What's that, like ten thousand percent, but first we have to rewind the clock and understand jeff bezos, the mastermind vp quant of d e shaw. So what is a quant? A quant is short for quantitative in wall street speak.

It describes a process of using mathematic modelling and high frequency trading to identify and act on trading opportunities in short, quants specialise in calculating probability and risk hedging positions and shorting stocks is commonplace practice in quantitatively driven fund portfolios. So bezos saw a business opportunity by creating and controlling a company that had strong relationships with wall street, a company that was willing to act in blatant anti-competitive fashion possessing an understanding of the complex practices that inflate amazon's market cap. A company could rely on private equity. Doing their dirty work by targeting competitors through leveraged buyouts and naked shorting, so after graduating from princeton visas found work at several firms on wall street, including fintel bankers, trust and the investment firm d e shaw.

In 1990, bezos became the e shaw's youngest vice president and bezos actually started funding for amazon, while he was still working as a vp. At de shore and jeff bezos said that i was living and working in new york city. I came across the fact that the world wide web was growing very fast and came up with this simple idea to sell books on the internet. I went to my boss, david and told him the idea and therefore it's clear that david shaw was aware of amazon's concept before it went public and had an active interest in investing in the web space and managed d e shaw, employing quantitative strategies during this time.

Now, just in case you didn't already know, in 2013, d e shaw has previously violated short selling regulations and that's how jeff, bezos and d e shaw linked together and therefore it makes sense if a private equity hedge fund, like d e shaw, intentionally, exercised their relationship And capital to destroy amazon's competitors deliberately through leveraged buyouts and naked shorting, so amazon could capture their market share. While the e shore invest their profits from the naked shorting back into amazon and make even more profits, but obviously for de short and naked short amc. They need some help and that's where citadel comes in citadel can create and sell fake shares, driving the share price of a targeted company to the point of either being delisted or bankrupt, or both when this happens citadel keeps all the money it makes from the short Sale never having to cover their shorts, and i think by now you all understand how this works so i'll leave it there. So basically, amazon has been using ken griffin to naked short companies in order for amazon to steal market share from current and future competitors and to just bankrupt them and remove them from the space.

Ken griffin is also a fan and a frequent investor of amazon, so it makes sense for citadel to help amazon out as well and then de shore that same quant hedge fund, where jeff bezos became the youngest vice president says about citadel, and it says we cross Paths with them all the time and they are huge - and that was as far back as 2001 way before citadel's widespread success and therefore that's how d shaw and citadel link together as well and how jeff bezos is the glue holding the two together. But what will we see if citadel had followed this playbook, where we'd see some of the old otc stocks of dead companies squeeze? At the same time, an idiosyncratic risk would emerge in a basket of algorithmically shorted securities, basically with companies like sears and blockbuster when they went bankrupt, they were bought out by firms like d.e shaw and their stocks, still technically trade on the otc exchange. Just for pennies. On a dollar and therefore citadel and d.e sure do still have shares in these companies on their books.

They're, obviously just worth basically nothing and that's why no one really notices, but obviously, as idiosyncratic risk increases. They have to reshuffle portfolios and it could cause a squeeze or a mini rise in price in those otc stocks. And would you look at that? Sears and blockbuster both bankrupt companies listed on otc markets and former amazon competitors squeezed at the same time as gamestop and amc back in january of 2021.. Now call me crazy, but i'm going to speculate that the public isn't investing in those stocks investing in blockbuster on the otc exchange.

So how is amazon connected to blockbuster? You might ask, and he had the same question. Surprisingly. I forgot about amazon's biggest business, amazon, web services and amazon prime movies. I bet you can guess who is providing web hosting for netflix around 2010 when blockbuster went under yes, amazon and therefore amazon may be behind all of this.

It makes sense, there's a reason why rumors have been flying around for months of a potential buyout. Obviously there was an article that came out a while ago saying that amazon was planning to take over amc, and it makes sense because it'd just eliminate even more competition. For amazon and they wanted to shore amc to the ground, so they could purchase amc at a cheaper price and effectively. That's why amazon are shorting amc with the help of de shore and citadel as well citadel are creating the synthetic shares and naked shorting.

The shaw is going to be the full guy to buy our amc and declare bankruptcy and amazon walks away being the number one competitor and the only competitor in that space. But why do they all do it and how do they all profit? Well, i think that's how this scam works, they borrow say: blockbuster stock or amc stock, sell it to short it and as long as they maintain the short position indefinitely, they never close and from a tax standpoint, never realize a profit. So if the company is declared bankrupt and the share value drops to zero dollars - or it's just listed on the otc exchange, it costs nothing to maintain the open short position and they never pay tax on the original short sale games. Really, the tax code needs to be updated to close the loophole and force profits to be booked once a company is bankrupt or delisted, or the share price goes to zero.

I imagine there's a heap of zombie company shares on wall street firms's books that they have never and will never pay tax on those profits from those trades. I could never understand the point of shorting to me. It exposes you to a lot of risk, but now i realize that for these players there is huge upside in that, if they can short it and successfully bankrupt a company, they never pay tax on that trade at all. It's a huge incentive to short and participate in criminal actions to ensure that the trade plays out and the way they wanted it to go, and it's literally free money when they succeed.

So that's why citadel creates all these synthetic shares and naked shorts? The company, like amc or blockbuster into oblivion, because if it goes bankrupt, they never have to cover that original short and therefore never pay tax on those initial profits or those initial short sale gains for the short again as well, then they could short the company. The whole way down they swoop it up at the very end and pick it up for pennies on the dollar, never pay tax on their naked shorts either and they've just got something they just leave on the books and then for amazon. They get to remain. King of the retail industry and never have any actual competition, and on top of that citadel and d.e shaw reinvest all of their profits from the naked shorting back into amazon and continue compounding their gains.

Because, obviously, if amazon has no competition and is the king of retail, their stock just continues to grow, and if we look at d e shaw, their third largest position is in amazon and they've been holding it all the way. Since 2007, with around 1.2 billion dollars invested and actually d shaw sold off a large amount of their amazon position after jeff bezos stepped down as ceo before the sale, they had around 2.1 billion dollars invested in amazon, and it was their largest position. And if we head on over to citadel amazon is their fifth largest position, with around 13 billion dollars invested in call options. And if we head on over to amazon and filter their holdings from largest to smallest there's.

So many familiar names that come up like state street susquehanna, james street and obviously citadel now. Obviously, all of this is very tinfoil hat like, but it does make a lot of sense and does give rise to a lot of potential for amazon to be the one shorting, amc or coordinating everything guys be sure to. Let me know down in the comments below what you think about amazon and jeff bezos being the mastermind behind the amc naked shore and as always guys, if you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out some of my others.
