I'm here to help Chucky reach for stuff that's too high for him, like cognitive thought & integrity. He's tiny in every way and needs as much help as he can get
I want to extend my highest praise to Paul Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for the wise decision — perhaps a better characterization being the brilliant decision — he announced today on behalf of the SEC about Stock Tokens.
The SEC granted a five year period of experimentation on this topic in U.S. markets. In doing so, the SEC laid out some inviolate and unequivocally annumerated conditions:
The SEC highlighted that “Investor Protection Is Not Optional.” The SEC clearly laid out that even as it puts forward an “Innovation Exemption,” the SEC has an implicit right to govern on this issue. This means that at least within the U.S., there is an underpinning that appropriate regulatory bodies can regulate
as they think is needed. I believe that over the last full century, investors have best been protected when U.S. regulatory bodies have been involved and U.S. securities laws have been applicable. Thank you, SEC.
The SEC also emphasized that there can be “No Synthetics.” Any such Stock Tokens must carry full voting and dividend rights. No synthetics is such a vital and basic concept. Thank you, SEC.
Also of crucial importance, the SEC mandated that “Issuers Can Object.” It said that issuers of stock must have the opportunity to object and prevent their security from being trading on a Tokenized Securities Venue if companies so choose. This puts companies in charge of their own securities and capital structures, not brokerage houses. Thank you, SEC.
I applaud what the SEC did today. Bravo!
And @vladtenev and @dangallagher I note that at Robinhood you accepted and supported the SEC’s ruling today. I call on you now to adhere to the exact same standards internationally. How hypocritical would it be if Robinhood’s stock tokens abroad were to differ materially from stock tokens in the U.S. on these hyper-important matters of investor protections, synthetics and issuer objections.

🗣️📣 Don’t sell retail a token and call it ownership. If I buy the stock, GIVE ME THE STOCK not a synthetic token dressed up like one!⚠️!!
Hey there @dangallagher, in the past week you and @vladtenev CEO of Robinhood have made public comments defending your use of and “standing behind” your relatively new Stock Token concept.
I think this practice is abhorrent. It defeats the very ethos of share ownership. Public financial markets were created so that companies could raise capital, and so that investors could share in the wealth created as a result. Not to turn investing instead merely into some gamified business-oriented casino.
If by your own admission you can’t offer or sell Stock Tokens to “U.S. persons” why does your U.S. web site talk about them so much and so favorably?
Vlad: How can a U.S. brokerage firm be proud of creating an offshore Channel Island operation in far off Jersey specifically with the intent to operate outside U.S. securities laws? Is there potential confusion that Stock Token purchasers are getting less than all the rights accorded to real shareholders, and if so do you care? If those tokens are theoretically backed 1:1 by real shares, but hypothetically some of those underlying real shares are in turn lent out to short sellers, are the Tokens really backed 1:1 in fact?
Dan: I think U.S. securities laws have protected the public very well over the past century. You spent much of your career at the SEC. Deep down, in your heart of hearts, how can you really think a world without the precautions imposed by U.S. securities laws creates a better, safer environment for investors?
Choose whatever descriptors you think best make sense under the circumstances: Non-regulated, derivative, synthetic, sham, debt-backed securities trying to simulate actual real stock, or pick your own words if these don’t fit.
Stock Tokens may make you an innovator in your own eyes. In my eyes, they bring your firm dishonor.
HOW is this being said on LIVE TV and not triggering an immediate investigation?
A stock price is supposed to be PRICE DISCOVERY buyers, sellers, SUPPLY and DEMAND.
If anyone is deliberately CONTROLLING the price of #AMC or #GME, that isn't a “free market.” If proven, that's the kind of conduct regulators should be investigating as MARKET MANIPULATION.
And now we're talking about TOKENIZED securities tied to these stocks?
Who controls the supply?
Who verifies the alleged 1:1 backing?
Where are the underlying shares?
Where are the independent audits?
And most importantly can any of this influence the price of the REAL stock.
These aren't conspiracy questions. They're MARKET-INTEGRITY questions.
Robinhood has already faced SEC enforcement actions over securities-law violations in the past. So why should investors simply take anyone's word for it now?
If investigators find that anyone intentionally manipulated stock prices or defrauded investors, STOP treating financial crime like a cost of doing business.
Fines aren't enough.
If criminal conduct is proven, PROSECUTE IT and if the law calls for prison, SEND THEM TO PRISON.
Retail deserves a market, not a rigged scoreboard.
INVESTIGATE. SUBPOENA. AUDIT. PROSECUTE.

This is FTX all over again.

More good news about AMC’s business prospects.
This new rating of our debt by the prominent ratings agency Fitch meshes with that of Standard & Poor‘s, which upgraded AMC’s debt in July.
“RATING ACTION COMMENTARY:
Fitch Assigns AMC Entertainment First-Time 'B-' IDR; Outlook Positive
The rating reflects AMC's leading market position, broad theater footprint, and strong exposure to premium formats, which support attendance, pricing, and operating leverage as the box office recovers. The rating is constrained by negative FCF and a complex capital structure relative to peers.
The Positive Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation for continued box office recovery, with performance approaching pre-pandemic levels and AMC's ability to monetize attendance through pricing and concessions, supporting revenue growth and margin expansion.”

There were only 165 Million Shares, yet Bloomberg data has just been decoded that Market Makers sold over 11 BILLION, with a B!!!
Largest Financial Scandal in History
@SusieWiles47@SECPaulSAtkins
@vladtenev you are defrauding American Retail Investors with these Stock Tokens in $AMC and others while they are able to be used for naked short locates and not being backed 1:1. And if they are being backed 1:1 then this shows the severity of naked shorts in #AMC and float sold over multiple times.
Lots of CEO’s should be coming on board ..
This can’t be a coincidence..
@CEOAdam@wolf_of_ape_st
Are they bad companies or something else. Time will tell.. 🦍’s have an idea. Naked shorts
August 2026 had the highest industry-wide domestic box office grosses for any month of August since record keeping started 50 years ago. See for yourself: https://t.co/F2DMd8G681
Experts moronically predicting movie theatres were dead?
What a total crock of - - - - !
$AMC CEO Adam Aron sounds off on Vlad Tenev and Robinhood over these tokens
“I hereby call on you and Robinhood to voluntarily CEASE AND DECIST the trading of AMC stock tokens. If you don’t, our high priced securities counsel has been asked to see whether we can force you to stop.”
CaLL to Action to all $AMC investors and @CEOadam
- this needs to be done now - look what happened to the price action when @CEOAdam sent his notice to @vladtenev
If you’re an AMC investor and you don’t press on AMC to send the same notice to @brian_armstrong that was sent to @vladtenev than it’s on you - and just plain lazy stupidness
@CEOAdam same communication needs to go to @brian_armstrong NOW - they shifted all the volume from RH to Coinbase the FTX2 models is all they have left to suppress volume and dilute AMC value - please send now!
The picture below is from Coinbase’s site concerning $AMC - it’s possibly on Etoro as well
We must shut them all down
Look at $AMC on X. First result: AMC Entertainment Holdings, NYSE, CUSIP 00165C302. Right under it: meme coins also labeled AMC, some using the company logo. That ticker already belongs to a registered stock. Why is X putting unaffiliated tokens in the same AMC page as if they are the same asset?
@elonmusk@nikitabier@CEOAdam
You can separate stocks from tokens. You can stop copycat tickers and logos from showing under the real company cashtag. Why is this allowed on X?
If a token supposedly represents the same underlying asset, that kind of disconnect should set off alarm bells.
Who backs the tokens?
Where are the REAL shares?
Are they actually backed 1:1?
Can the backing be independently verified?
And most importantly, can any of these tokens or their supposed backing be used in the securities lending locate ecosystem?
Tokenization should create transparency, not another layer where synthetic exposure (Fraud) can multiply while real shareholders are left wondering what actually exists.
One company. One real share price. Show us the receipts.
