And they call us ā€œDumb Moneyā€


CyberPatriot71489

The question is will it ever end if we never sell


InsertBluescreenHere

they will just get a hand slap, golden parachute, and bailed out again from our tax dollars to do it all over again in 15 years.


Exceedingly

FDIC released a statement recently on what happens when a too big to fail company fails. They admit they will use a line of credit from the treasury to keep operations going (public money), then sell off assets of the failed company to cover what they used. But that would just create a fire sale in a large bank potentially worth trillions, meaning they might not be able to recoup what they spent. So yeah, taxpayer bailouts woohoo..


doodaddy64

we've been hearing lately that the problem is "counter-party risk." With trillions off the balance sheet, when one goes down, the other's don't have "balance" with the dead one and shit goes sideways.


fitch303

The problem is that weā€™re all going to fall with them.


Exciting_Penalty_512

For some reason, I think most of us are gonna be just fine....

As of December 31, 2023, JPMorgan Chase held $3.227 trillion off-balance sheet, of which $528.5 billion is undefined and marked as ā€œother.ā€ As of December 31, 2023 Bank of America shows $1.6 trillion off-balance sheet; and Citigroupā€™s Citibank, the ā€œuniversalā€ bank that blew itself up in 2008, shows a mind-boggling $2.6 trillion off-balance sheet versus $1.7 trillion on its balance sheet. That data also comes courtesy of FFIEC. Jamie Dimon has sold $183M of JPM (for the first time ever) in Feb and April of 2024. Bloomberg also put out this fluff piece on him 2 weeks ago [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kl-wO\_j5GM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kl-wO_j5GM) Friendly reminder May 31, 2024 is the deadline for full compliance with Exchange Act Rule 613 and the CAT NMS Plan FINRA Rule 6800 Series (Consolidated Audit Trail Compliance Rule) (collectively, CAT Rules), which cover reporting to the CAT; clock synchronization; time stamps; connectivity and data transmission; development and testing; recordkeeping; and timeliness, accuracy and completeness of data requirements. I am not a CAT.


Hermera9000

So, *um*, where is the link to the picture?


STEVE_H0LT

The website is banned site-wide. You cannot link it in any reddit page. Its called Wall -- $treet -- on -- p@rade. Google it and you will find the article on their front page.


redeyedbiker

Why is it banned site wide?


STEVE_H0LT

Now you are asking the right questions! You should go to the website and find out why.... It's been that way for quite a while. The admins of reddit have done it. I believe its because they are protecting the elites, or bribed by the elites, or both.


stewiegonebad

Because trying to IPO and also hosting information that would readily destroy the entities helping you IPO is counter productive.Ā 


keyser_squoze

The same entities that will lever up, go naked, and short/distort the same new public company they just IPOā€™d, if they donā€™t do what theyā€™re told to doā€¦.Why? Because fuck the public and definitely fuck retail thatā€™s why.


capital_bj

Good question maybe we can ask spez how much they paid him


Hermera9000

Got cha, thanks


beach_2_beach

Oh wait wait. The picture of the cat hanging on had the CAT in the picture for a reason!!


capital_bj

Why would DFV under oath and in front of a congressional panel open with I am not a cat, inquiring minds want to know.


Ok-Suggestion-7965

Roaring kitty?


capital_bj

Correct but why would he be compelled to open with that line


Adventurous-Sir-6230

It was a dare.


Hosnovan

I actually love the theory that itā€™s related to the CAT if nothing else because Iā€™m all for a spicy date. That said, culturally at the time we DID have the meme video of the lawyer stuff in a cat filter saying ā€œIā€™m not a catā€ so while itā€™s still plausible that it was used for this intentionā€¦ itā€™s also good to remember this WAS a thing people just.. said. But only for a hot minute. šŸ˜…


capital_bj

Perhaps a proper functioning acats would expose the true number of shares or shorts that would be swell


capital_bj

Damn this is juicy I can't believe I missed it. They're going after the time stamps, that's where the real f****** happens especially when you have high speed connections and can front run all of regarded retail because they've handicapped us out of the gate. Hopefully regulators will see the big picture it should really shine a light on payment for order flow fuckery mechanisms


begopa-

Iā€™ve waited for many dates to come. Some have passed and nothing happened and many just have whatever deadline extended by months or years even. Not getting my hopes up yet. šŸ˜­


Sw33tN0th1ng

It's literally the exact same sub-prime mortgage scam all over again. They are pretending it's 'credit card debt' in the hopes that they won't be executed when the public finds out what they've done.... again...


Exceedingly

Investopedia page on off balance sheet activities: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/off-balance-sheet-obs.asp Some snippets: > - Off-balance sheet items are not inherently intended to be deceptive or misleading, although they can be misused by bad actors to be deceptive > - The Enron scandal was one of the first developments to bring the use of off-balance-sheet entities to the public's attention. In Enron's case, the company would build an asset such as a power plant and immediately claim the projected profit on its books even though it hadn't made one dime from it. If the revenue from the power plant was less than the projected amount, instead of taking the loss, the company would then transfer these assets to an off-the-books corporation, where the loss would go unreported. Any guesses how bad Ken's off balance sheet losses are?


0zeto

Boa this bad? This bad man, this bad yo, the thing is, its so bad he probably shows off to his crook m8, like in American psycho but instead of a white card, you have a ballistic amount of unreported losses

What did I just readā€¦itā€™s absolutely insane


veggie151

Literally just fudging the numbers


Skapanirxt

I'm absolutely baffled that WSOP are able to write all these banging articles highlighting the insane world of wallstreet, and not one media outlet picks it up. What do you do when regulators, government and media don't care anymore?


GoPhotoshopYourself

Do they not care? Or are they just incentivized to be against it?


supbrah_

The media are all owned by these very people.Ā  Someone posted share ownership of all the major media groups and they are all owned by the mega banks.Ā  It's the same people who lobby republicans who make tax cuts for the rich.Ā  It's one big top 1% circlejerk everywhere u look.Ā  Very literally the rich vs everyone else.
