Today , InvestorTurf officially accuses the DTCC, DTC, and NSCC of orchestrating the biggest fraud in stock market history, and we demand action from the Trump administration.
InvestorTurf accuses the market-plumbing complex—DTCC and its two key arms, DTC and NSCC—of enabling the large-scale manufacture and concealment of “counterfeit” shares created through naked short selling. The DTCC is the broker-dealer-owned holding company, with DTC acting as the depository that holds almost all certificates in its nominee name and keeps member and customer sub-accounts as electronic entries, while NSCC is the central clearer that guarantees settlement and runs the stock-borrow program and Continuous Net Settlement (CNS). This structure lets trades “settle” even when the seller never delivers a real, borrowed share, so the buyer is credited with what call counterfeit share, yet the system treats it as if it were genuine.
NSCC’s stock-borrow and CNS netting process allows the same pool of real shares to be booked across multiple customer accounts at different brokers, inflating the effective float. NSCC guarantees trades and cures fails-to-deliver by borrowing from brokers’ net surpluses at DTC; because only net differences move, the lending broker doesn’t remove specific shares from any named customer, but the borrowing broker credits specific customers—so identical shares appear in more than one account. As long as members keep settling only their net obligations, the system never reconciles to the issuer’s true share count. This “CNS” layer hides “billions” of such counterfeit shares from Regulation SHO, with issuer-level CNS totals available only if DTC is successfully subpoenaed—and even the SEC does not routinely receive those tallies.
DTC is burying historic fails and providing mechanisms that let positions evade buy-ins and clocks. There is a case where roughly 400 million naked shorted shares that “should” have been bought in after a major player’s collapse were instead absorbed into DTC’s system and effectively “grandfathered” into legitimacy, permanently diluting issuers while no longer appearing as fails. The DTC runs or condones programs (described as RECATS) that alert members when positions are about to become fails so they can be shipped offshore or matched elsewhere and then returned with clocks reset—repeating as needed to keep positions naked and out of sight. When public and political pressure forced closure of the formal “grandfather” loophole in 2007, DTC and brokers simply migrated large blocks out of DTC to ex-clearing, where the same economic exposure persists but falls outside what regulators track.
Finally, this plumbing doesn’t just tolerate abuse but powers it at scale: by treating borrowed-from-DTC credits as legitimate and netting away gross imbalances, NSCC and DTC provide a standing reservoir of synthetic supply—ten to twenty times larger than the publicly visible fails in targeted names—that can be drawn on to overwhelm buy pressure, depress prices, and even push companies toward distress, all while appearing settled and compliant on the surface. This reserve of “strategic fails” gets created and maintained alongside profitable stock-lending and one-day “borrows,” and “friends” at the DTC and major clearinghouses” are part of a repeatable playbook used during coordinated short campaigns.
a word of caution for apes on DOGE turning an eye to the SEC...
I see a scenario where they're just here to trim costs, cut the wage base, and identify any wasteful budget items to reduce government spending. Not a terrible thing, but...
That is a far cry from identifying fraud and manipulation, malfeasance, a lack of oversight and complicity with cheaters. And also it is not an overhaul from a group of lawyers to having forensic accounting, data geniuses, and the like who can catch market fraud.
In many cases our financial markets need MORE oversight and new ways of catching cheats. This group is likely interested in less (less workers, less budget, less regulation.) Let's be loud to help them see all that is wrong in financial markets (as we have been for years.)
Time will tell what the fruits of this work are, and I will hold hope we are about to be heard in ways we have not yet seen.
We got this

BREAKING🚨 THE SEC DENIED A FOIA REQUEST FOR MISSING FTD DATA BECAUSE OF "POTENTIAL FORESEEABLE HARM."
It seems like the problem is so BIG that the SEC is scared that there could be harm to entities or the general public $GME
Securities lending is big business.
@JohnnyTabacco says when he and Pat Byrne started testing TZero the SEC fought back hard against putting securities lending on the blockchain
"...'The Pat' was the blockchain nuclear weapon against naked shorting.
Shortly after we did the first Pat testing is when they started going hogwild on you.
They did not want us putting security lending on the block chain.
Because the sloppiness of securities lending accounts for 75% of the revenue of Wall Street.
And I swear it's got to be 100% of the profit or 150%...."
In case Russia nukes us all tomorrow, I have one thing I need to say:
Brett Harrison said that #AMC and #GME tokens were backed 1 for 1 by real shares. But when FTX folded there was no sign they ever owned those shares and the supposed custodian had already severed the relationship 6 months before Brett made that statement.
So how come Brett has never had to answer this question, why do posts speaking about this get suppressed and their likes removed and why Brett never asked to even be a witness in SBF's trial.
🚨We The Investors Files Lawsuit Against the @SECGov to Advocate for Fair Markets and Reg NMS Reform.
Over the past 2+ years you ALL have showed up and helped create change, but it’s clear there’s still work to do.
And #WeTheInvestors are doing it. ✅
Time to Level Up. ✊
Remember a while back a court ordered brokers are responsible if shares they sold where involved with market maniuplation. Keith can exercise and now the cat will track it. This means they are responsible if a mm used the shares incorrectly so when they say market maniuplation they don't mean on Keith's side. Etrade will be I'm trouble

😏Tell me you're clueless without telling me you're clueless.
ICYMI last week:
SEC chair Gensler says penalties for fails-to-deliver #FTD are NOT on the table for US capital markets. Expects Wall Street to fix itself with policies and procedures. @SEC_Enforcement
.@DevinNunes suggests RICO charges for counterfeit crooks. Says fines aren't a deterrent.
"...then it's a much different crime..."
"Over the years when people get busted for doing this, for basically producing counterfeit shares, it's a slap on the wrist.
They make hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe even billions of dollars on trades, and it goes through mountains of legal costs if someone is going to try to bring a case like this. And at the end of the day it's a lot of money to you and I, but they may get a couple million dollars fine or a $10 million fine...
What I've said to Congress and what we're looking at is, if this is really happening, and people aren't afraid of it, there are some other rules on the books called RICO
and if people are conspiring to commit RICO then it's a much different crime...." - full video at https://t.co/CQXvcbsu1k

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨
More than 7,000 investors have signed a petition urging the government to prohibit Citadel from participating in the markets and calling for an investigation into Kenneth C. Griffin, the chief executive officer and co-chief investment officer, for alleged fraudulent activities.
The petition is currently open for additional signatures, providing an opportunity for interested individuals to express their support by signing it.
Power Nickel CEO Terry Lynch says he filed a complaint with regulatory agencies after getting hard data that the company stock is being manipulated.
"they said shorting is not an issue. I said 'guys i've got different math than you. I don't believe you. I don't believe you're collecting data properly...
Their bad data still showed shorting was a problem.
The real data, which we're getting now because that is one of the great breakthroughs we found is that there is a way to get real data for individual companies. We've done that at Power Nickel, and we've a complaint with CIRO and FINRA on these numbers"
Billionaire Eric Sprott has also been sounding the alarm on market manipulation in mining companies for years.
