U.S. Senators Are Paid Bribes, By Big Tech, Via Their Stock Market
Mutual Funds
Senators want America to think that it is "OK, if they, and their
families, just own 'Mutual Funds" in the stock market..." THEY ARE
LYING. Those stock market mutual funds have tricky layers of 'back-doors' in
them which allow Google, Facebook, YouTube, Alphabet, Elon Musk, George
Soros, Eric Schmidt, and that crowd, to pay bribes to Nancy Pelosi, Kamala
Harris, The Biden family, Dianne Feinstein and White House senior staff (
All of whom protect Big Tech from regulation) . David Plouffe and Steve
Westly have 'Stock Operatives' who have provided key details...
The Tech Bribes Using The Stock Market
Every One
of these financial
scam tricks (
https://www.sec.gov/files/Algo_Trading_Report_2020.pdf ) is
used
daily
by the suspects in this case:
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Pools"
Agreements,
often written, among a group of traders to delegate authority to a
single manager to trade in a specific stock for a specific period of
time and then to share in the resulting profits or losses."[5]
In Australia section 1041B prohibits pooling. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation#cite_note-5
)
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Churning"
When a trader places both buy
and sell orders at about the same price. The increase in activity is
intended to attract additional investors, and increase the price.
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Stock bashing"
This
scheme is usually orchestrated by savvy online message board posters
(a.k.a. "Bashers") who make up false and/or misleading
information about the target company in an attempt to get shares for
a cheaper price. This activity, in most cases, is conducted by
posting libelous posts on multiple public forums. The perpetrators
sometimes work directly for unscrupulous Investor Relations firms who
have convertible notes that convert for more shares the lower the bid
or ask price is; thus the lower these Bashers can drive a stock price
down by trying to convince shareholders they have bought a worthless
security, the more shares the Investor Relations firm receives as
compensation. Immediately after the stock conversion is complete and
shares are issued to the Investor Relations firm, consultant,
attorney or similar party, the basher/s then become friends of the
company and move quickly to ensure they profit on a classic Pump &
Dump scheme to liquidate their ill-gotten shares. (see P&D)
**
The
Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Pump and dump"
A pump
and
dump scheme is generally part of a more complex grand plan of
market manipulation on the targeted security. The Perpetrators
(Usually stock promoters) convince company affiliates and large
position non-affiliates to release shares into a free trading status
as "Payment" for services for promoting the security.
Instead of putting out legitimate information about a company the
promoter sends out bogus e-mails (the "Pump") to millions
of unsophisticated investors (Sometimes called "Retail
Investors") in an attempt to drive the price of the stock and
volume to higher points. After they accomplish both, the promoter
sells their shares (the "Dump") and the stock price falls,
taking all the duped investors' money with it.
**
The
Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Runs"
When
a group of traders create activity or rumours in order to drive the
price of a security up. An example is the Guinness
share-trading
fraud of the 1980s. In the US, this activity is
usually referred to as painting
the
tape.[6]
Runs may also occur when trader(s) are attempting to drive the price
of a certain share down, although this is rare. (see Stock Bashing) (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_share-trading_fraud
)
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Ramping (the
market)"
Actions
designed
to artificially raise the market price of listed securities
and give the impression of voluminous trading in order to make a
quick profit.[7]
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation#cite_note-7
)
**
The
Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Wash trade"
In a wash
trade the manipulator sells and repurchases the same or
substantially the same security for the purpose of generating
activity and increasing the price.
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Bear raid"
In
a bear raid
there is an attempt to push the price of a stock down by heavy
selling or short
selling.[8]
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation#cite_note-8
)
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Lure and Squeeze"
This
works with a company that is very distressed
on
paper, with impossibly high debt, consistently high annual
losses but very few assets, making it look as if bankruptcy must be
imminent. The stock price gradually falls as people new to the stock
short it on the basis of the poor outlook for the company, until the
number of shorted shares greatly exceeds the total number of shares
that are not held by those aware of the lure and squeeze scheme (call
them "people in the know"). In the meantime, people in the
know increasingly purchase the stock as it drops to lower and lower
prices. When the short interest has reached a maximum, the company
announces it has made a deal with its creditors to settle its loans
in exchange for shares of stock (or some similar kind of arrangement
that leverages the stock price to benefit the company), knowing that
those who have short positions will be squeezed as the price of the
stock sky-rockets. Near its peak price, people in the know start to
sell, and the price gradually falls back down again for the cycle to
repeat.
**
The
Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Quote stuffing"
Quote
stuffing is made possible by high-frequency trading programs that
can execute market actions with incredible speed. However,
high-frequency trading in and of itself is not illegal. The tactic
involves using specialized, high-bandwidth hardware to quickly enter
and withdraw large quantities of orders in an attempt to flood the
market, thereby gaining an advantage over slower market
participants.[9]

)
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Cross-Product
Manipulation"
A type
of manipulation possible when financial instruments are settled based
on benchmarks
set by the trading of physical commodities, for example in United
States Natural Gas Markets. The manipulator takes a large long
(short)
financial position that will benefit from the benchmark
settling at a higher (lower) price, then trades in the physical
commodity markets at such a large volume as to influence the
benchmark price in the direction that will benefit their financial
position.
**
The
Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Spoofing (finance)"
Spoofing
is a disruptive algorithmic trading entity employed by traders to
outpace other market participants and to manipulate commodity
markets. Spoofers feign interest in trading futures, stocks and other
products in financial markets creating an illusion of exchange
pessimism in the futures market when many offers are being cancelled
or withdrawn, or false optimism or demand when many offers are being
placed in bad faith. Spoofers bid or offer with intent to cancel
before the orders are filled. The flurry of activity around the buy
or sell orders is intended to attract other high-frequency
traders (HFT) to induce a particular market reaction such as
manipulating the market price of a security. Spoofing can be a factor
in the rise and fall of the price of shares and can be very
profitable to the spoofer who can time buying and selling based on
this manipulation.
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Price-Fixing"
A very simple type of fraud
where the principles who publish a price or indicator conspire to set
it falsely and benefit their own interests. The
Libor
scandal for example, involved bankers setting the Libor
rate to benefit their trader's portfolios or to make certain entities
appear more creditworthy than they were.
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "High Closing
(finance)"
High closing is an attempt to
manipulate the price of a security at the end of trading day to
ensure that it closes higher than it should. This is usually achieved
by putting in manipulative trades close to closing.
**
The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "Cornering the
market"
In cornering
the
market the manipulators buy sufficiently large amount of a
commodity so they can control the price creating in effect a
monopoly. For
example, the brothers Nelson
Bunker
Hunt and William
Herbert
Hunt attempted to corner the world silver
markets in the late 1970s and early 1980s, at one stage holding the
rights to more than half of the world's deliverable silver.[10]
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation#cite_note-TEXAS-10
) During the Hunts'
accumulation of the precious metal, silver prices rose from $11 an
ounce in September 1979 to nearly $50 an ounce in January 1980.[11]
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation#cite_note-NYT-11
) Silver prices
ultimately collapsed to below $11 an ounce two months later,[11]
much of the fall occurring on a single day now known as Silver
Thursday, due to changes made to exchange rules regarding the
purchase of commodities on margin.[12]

The Silicon Valley Stock Scam Called: "The Conduit Double
Blind"
In this scam, government
money is given to a Tesla, Solyndra, etc. who then money launder the
cash through executive-held 501 c3 and c4 charities; and company
assets and then provide DARK MONEY cash and services to
political campaigns like Obama and Clinton election funds. In the
case of Tesla, Google (an investor and boyfriend of Musk) supplied
billions of dollars of web search rigging. Stock ownership in the
companies and deals is traded for campaign funds. David Brock is a
master of this kind of Dark Money money-laundering for political
campaigns using PACS and pass-through spoofing.
Tesla and Solyndra investors
have used ALL of the above tactics and more. Goldman Sachs and JP
Morgan have thousands of staff who PROVIDE these stock market
manipulation tricks to people like Elon Musk, Larry Page, Eric
Schmidt, et al. These kinds of financial crimes and corruption
account for the manipulation of over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS
of ill-gotten profits annually!
Given the massive stimulus
packages that are in force today and expected to be implemented going
forward, regulators need to set clear guidelines for how and when
such privileged information can be disclosed, and impose rigorous
trading restrictions for investors with access to private
information. Failure to do so always gives unfair advantage to some
and damages the level playing field in financial markets.
To avoid providing such
unfair advantage to selected executives, the SEC and the Department
of Justice need to develop new procedures to incorporate potential
illegal transactions derived from information about government
intervention through diverse channels. Plaintiffs advocate for a more
transparent and consistent protocol on information disclosure
regarding government’s loan programs to prevent similar events from
recurring. For example, the government could channel the release of
news about COVID-19-related stimulus interventions through a common
platform to prevent leakage from diverse sources and reduce
information asymmetry among investors.
The DFC loan to Kodak is the
first of its kind under the Defense Production Act but not the first
ever because GOVT already created the pump-and-dump scheme for tech
oligarchs. Nobody should be surprised by Kodak trying a proven
corruption scam. Since we are in unprecedented times, government
agencies and regulators need to make changes to adapt to the current
situation and fulfill their mission to ensure a level playing field
for investors even during this difficult period. Regulation never
happens in theses scams because most California Senators and their
families profit from these crimes and corruption.
