Using pure logic - why GameStop will be the ones to trigger MOASS, and how they’ll do it.

If this was a casino (which it is) and if I was a degenerate gambler (which I am), I would place my bet on GameStop being the ones to trigger MOASS. TA:DR at bottom.

So let’s just go over all of the players in the game and how likely each are to trigger the MOASS.

DTCC: Nope. They didn’t do a margin call when things popped off in January (and if I remember correctly, they actually even lifted liquidity restrictions/requirements for brokers during that time). They also stand to lose trillions from MOASS. They are only placing these new rules in case someone else triggers the MOASS. They won’t margin call when the time comes.

SEC: you f*cking kidding me? No way in hell. They’ve stood by this entire time and haven’t done anything. Not a peep. Besides, they don’t want to ruin their revolving door chance of getting in bed with Wall Street after they leave their current jobs.

Retail Investors: I love apes, and so much has happened because of apes. But it’s at a point where there’s nothing left to do but buy on the paycheck and hold. Apes have used up most of their ammunition for this to be where it’s at right now, but there’s no more ammo. Don’t know about you, but I’m 100% balls deep in GME already. I’m assuming the same for most of you. Retail investors will not be the ones to trigger MOASS.

Long whales: No. Although long whales have the capital to increase buying pressure tremendously, they would have to do it all at once (which they can’t because that’s market manipulation). On top of that, they will have to first overcome the huge short selling that hedge funds will employ to cancel it out when they see the price start to shoot up.

Courts/Sue/Legal Actions: I don’t think so. I have very little faith in this. If I remember Overstock’s situation correctly, they also tried to go the legal route, but at the last minute someone was bribed and it didn’t go through. This was confirmed in the recent AMA with Lucy Komisar.

GameStop: DING DING DING. GameStop actually has a few different ways they can trigger a share recall. After months of DD, theory, and research, I think there are 4 ways GameStop can trigger a share recall, which will trigger MOASS:

1. Merger: a merger would need shares to be recalled so that new identification numbers (or whatever they’re called, I can’t remember the DD) can be issued to the shares after the merge. GameStop paid off its debts so it is now able to do this. Edit 3: a fellow ape mentioned they are actually called CUSIP numbers!

2. Name Change: if I remember the DD correctly, a name change would accomplish a recall in the same way a merger would (with the ID numbers). This has been teased a few times as a name change to simply “GS” (will link below).

3. Crypto Dividend: if I remember the DD correctly, this is what Overstock did to their shorted stock. And it worked! A dividend is where a company pays a shareholder $x per every share they hold. This is done on a monthly/quarterly/semiannually/yearly basis (it’s usually very low, but still something). However, hedge funds would simply just write a check for any dividend payments for their shorted shares. That’s why it has to be crypto dividends (hedge funds can’t simply write a check. Overstock did this and it worked. They got sued for it, but I think they either won that suit, or it was eventually dropped). A few months back, GameStop was also looking to hire crypto/blockchain experts too (there was a DD post on it). Edit 2: some apes are mentioning that Overstock’s crypto case is ongoing. Can anyone confirm?

4. Stock Split: my thumbs are sore, and this is pretty straightforward and self explanatory, so I’ll leave it at that as to how this will trigger a recall.

TA:DR - I believe it will ultimately be GameStop to trigger MOASS, and it will be through one of these 4 methods (or a combo of a few of them: merger, name change, crypto dividend, or stock split). It won’t be DTCC, SEC, retail traders, the court of law, or long whales that trigger it.

PREDICTION: Based on all of this, my prediction is that at the shareholder meeting on June 9th, a merger will be announced between GameStop and SLGG. A name change will also be announced because of this. This effectively hits 2 of the 4 tactics mentioned above.

Not financial advice. Just theories. 🤘💎🚀🌕

Edit 1: deeply apologize for not linking more of the DD that I mentioned throughout this post. It’s spread throughout the last 4 months and this ape is too lazy to hunt for it. Take my word for it though, they exist if you’d like to hunt for them (might be in GME or WSB subs though....back when they were still great subs).
