His firm has sold over $65 BILLION dollars worth of securities that they have sold, but not purchased. So yes, they’re making massive profits as they’re not actually purchasing any shares and just pocketing all of the cash. They have more in securities sold and not purchased than many countries GDP’s. He’s also doing all of this through PFOF, which Bernie invented himself.

Edit: idk why you guys think $65 billion is an acceptable “short” position lmao. An amount you guys would never see in your entire life. Yet you’re sitting here online defending a billionaire who manipulates markets 😂😂

Yeah what idiots, shorting since 2021 and now the market is down 20% with tons of garbage IPOs down 90%. How will they ever buy back those securities at this new lower price?!
