$GME
‼️ CRITICAL ‼️ 😡🤬
🚨 This one is going to blow your mind. Share far & wide ‼️
In a class action filed Nov 17, 2017 (Case No. 17-cv-06221, KPF) we learn that the stock lending market has been under the grip of a cabal of banks and prime brokers.
We all know the NSCC’s CNS program launders billions of beneficial entitlements. But have you ever heard of the Five Families… and Project Gateway?
For years, the stock lending business was dominated by a cartel calling themselves the Five Families, a clear nod to the infamous NYC mafia clans.
Yes, a literal cartel: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, Bank of America… (later joined by UBS). Totally legit, right?
Led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, they launched Project Gateway, a coordinated plan to keep lending markets opaque, sabotage every fintech that tried to add transparency, and then bury the tech so it could never threaten their control. (Stock lending is 75% of their revenues...)
(Chances are, this is why $GME has been dragging for so long, as it could connect directly to abusive short selling.)
And believe it or not, it gets even darker… In the class action, we learn that every single one of these banks also holds critical roles inside the OCC and DTCC; the very clearinghouses meant to oversee and safeguard the system they were exploiting. 🤯🤯🤯

my friend quit his $95k/year tech job to trade full-time
everyone told him he was crazy
6 months later he was broke
moved back in with his parents
everyone said "told you so"
12 months later he was making $18k/month
24 months later he was making $40k/month
now he's at $70k+/month and just bought a house cash
here's what nobody saw during those first 6 months:
he was trading scared because he NEEDED it to work
the pressure made him overtrade
overtrading made him lose
losing made him more scared
more fear = worse decisions
cycle repeated until broke
what changed:
got a part-time job (removed financial pressure)
traded like he didn't need the money (because he didn't)
made money because he wasn't desperate
the lesson:
don't quit your job to trade
trade until trading REPLACES your job income
then quit
the desperation tax is real
and it costs more than any mentor or course ever will
