RC and the Red Button - In Kind Share Transfer

Based on the research of others like, @itsalwaysrains and @TheUltimator5 and examining history, specifically August / September of 2020 and beyond, and the chain of events that occurred therein, I think RC may have just "pushed the red button." I am NOT committing to dates because I don't understand the settlement dynamics fully.

However, I can make deductions. Here is what I know - RC started buying shares of $GME on 8/13/20 and bought every trading day the rest of the month. There was some movement in the stock during this time, but the first MAJOR move occurred on 8/31/20, T+1 from the date 8/28/20 on which RC transferred his shares from his personal ownership as a Canadian citizen (presumably in a Canadian broker?) to RC Ventures, LLC, a Delaware, USA entity which likely used a broker in the United States different from RC's personal Canadian broker.

@itsalwaysrains has done an incredible amount of research on the shenanigans involving share movement, settlement, dark pools, etc etc and his conclusion is that transferring shares in-kind between brokers breaks the ludicrous chain of dark pool rehypothecation which is used to create a completely synthetic market and manipulate the stock price to dealers' preferences.

I am making a deduction here, not a conclusion - but my logical deduction is that RC forcing a break in the system COMBINED with the fact that such a large percentage of the float, combined with the absurd amount of short positions on $GME kicked off the 2020 run up, culminating in the sneeze in January 2021.

However, and ironically, this probably only amplified the amount of dark pool-based manipulation to an absurd level in order to give the appearance that the short position had been closed, when in fact it had just been burried in the dark pool and instrument-ized away in the shadows via swaps to move the vast sum of money and IOU's between power brokers out of public view.

I have seen DD on SuperStonk showing $40B worth of those swaps expiring on 1/31/25. If the swap is not renewed, then the hedge by the counterparty who was "long" in the swap and thus hedged by shorting the stock (but didn't need to report due to dealer exemptions) is no longer needed. I'm sure there are multiple parties involved and there are lending arrangements. The Fed Funds rate was close to 0% in 2020/2021 so the economics worked then. It is now over 4%. The last place to borrow cheap money, Japan, just increased their interest rate 500% in the last 7 months.

Not only is it time to cover, but what happens if the price of the stock continues to rise organically. What if the company continues to grow it's cash hoard, and thus the absolute floor of the stock, the cash per share value, is increased?

And what if true locates caused by an in kind transfer of shares from the largest activist investor of the stock who owns over 8% of the float breaks rehypothecation and this creates its own sort of "covering" mechanism and pushes the stock up higher aggressively, quickly? What if other investors start transferring their shares in kind as well?

The time is ticking and every day that passes by, RISK increases to those who made a deal with the devil in 2021.

TIME TO COVER

Take a little walk to the edge of town And go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires In the humming wires Hey man, you know You're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes A tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with A RED RIGHT HAND
