|
Date: February 17th, 2021 1:58 PM Author: Stimulating pearly casino This is going to be a rat-faced answer, so bear with me, but: probably not, but there's some risk.
As a registered investment advisor, it's probably not the smartest thing in the world to go memeing to shit some stock you own on a forum for autistic robinhood gamblers. There also is the implication of pumping since no one held a gun to his head and forced him to go make a bunch of poasts encouraging people to buy the stock--he could have just acted on his diligence, created a position, and watched his gains grow without engaging in a concerted campaign to encourage people to buy in. |

Date: February 17th, 2021 1:53 PM Author: Honey-headed brunch 60. Unaware of Gill’s deceitful social media communications, Plaintiff used approximately $200,000 in collateral to sell call option contracts for GameStop shares when the stock was below $100.
61. Plaintiff sold call option contracts (representing 2,000 shares) at a strike price of $100 on January 26, 2021 with expiration date of January 19,2021, while Gill’s manipulative social media conduct drove the market for GameStop shares into an unjustified frenzy (above $400).
63. Because of the market frenzy caused by Gill’s manipulative conduct and MML’s and MassMutual’s failure to supervise, Plaintiff was forced to “cover” the options contracts by purchasing back offsetting GameStop options contracts representing Gamestop shares at unwarrantedly and unprecedented inflated prices of $300 and $315 unmoored to the true value of GameStop shares, causing Plaintiff to incur substantial loses. |

Date: February 18th, 2021 8:29 AM Author: bateful gunner There is a lead plaintiff process. So others who have suffered losses will come forward and try to explain why they and their lawyers should be in charge of the case. They whoever is appointed will file an amended complaint that will have more detail. They may try to get some confidential witnesses to bolster the allegations in the complaint. There is then a 50/50 shot or so of getting this case tossed on a motion to dismiss. It is lower in Massachusetts than it would be in the SDNY. If the case survives dismissal, plaintiffs will settle for anywhere from 2-30% of their total alleged damages, and the lawyers will keep 30% of that. It is a volume game for plaintiffs lawyers, though they always get money if they get past a MTD and every few years they will settle a case for $80MM plus.
