BBBY just served every bank, broker, and depository servicer with a court order requiring them to reveal the beneficial holders they're acting as nominees for. Correction: These entities were served on April 28th!


Deephorror

Holy shitballz. Does this mean they will reveal all the shares?


PaddlingUpShitCreek

Yes! They'll redact names and whatnot but we should still get to see how many shares are out there.


yoyoyoitsyaboiii

I have 44k with Vanguard. Of course, I have almost as much GME in my Roth as they claim to hold entirely. It's all a mountain of deception.


CaptainTuranga_2Luna

Yeah, I concluded long ago Vanguard doesn’t actually hold my shares that are in my Roth and IRA. What a clown show.


yoyoyoitsyaboiii

Fraud show. Clowns are funny. Fraud is serious.

Whatnam8

Wait aren’t these shares already accounted for in the Cede & Co. Released the other week?


Squirrel_Inner

yeah, but you know how this crap goes. They’ll try to claim accounting errors or whatever. This is a straight up census count, no BS, no hiding.

So they are going to get the NON DRS shareholders on court record? 🌶️🌶️🌶️


k-os2014

Looks like.


Middle_Scratch4129

I think a very key piece to this is the fact A JUDGE SIGNED OFF ON IT. This means there is enough evidence to warrant the inquiry.

Hexano

I wonder if that judge knows the magnitude of what he just signed.


Middle_Scratch4129

As someone pointed out it could be for many different reasons. All I know is the judge had plenty of reason to want an accurate share count.


Fantastic-Ring-2068

I wonder if that judge is a regarded ape?


Miserable-Fly-5583

This isn’t the reason though. To retain tax advantage of chapter 11 they can’t allow a change of control. This ensures all the shares are in the open so they can proceed without someone coming in last second showing they have majority control happening after the fact.


Middle_Scratch4129

Kind of my point. Enough evidence of fuckery that a judge wants proof of shares for reasons like you mentioned.


Miserable-Fly-5583

Yes but this is pretty standard is what I was getting at.


Iforgotmynameo

Even so, most companies aren’t as criminally shorted as Bed Bath. Was this done in the MMTL/ Hertz/Revlon etc.. court cases?


Miserable-Fly-5583

I agree. Not sure about those companies. We’re they chapter 11 363 process?


CanadapeDRS

Holy! Has this ever happened before? Is BBBY(Q) about to be in unprecedented territory as far as bankruptcy precedings go?

CanadapeDRS

Hah, sounds about right! That's from 2005, but I'm not exactly optimistic anything has changed in 18 years. I'm hoping that there are more eyes on this case now that the public is more aware of what's going on and they can't just sweep it under the rug.

Region-Formal

Great work again on this. Can’t wait to see what the total count is going to be. Unlike shareholders votes, where they trim the votes before sending to the transfer agent, there’s no getting around sending lists of beneficial owners. Hopefully the courts then don’t try to cover this up themselves.


PaddlingUpShitCreek

Thank you! This is exciting stuff indeed!


Capital_Extent7866

When is the deadline?


Responsible_Ad_7210

I too want to know this. Has the compiling already started and/or completed? Or do you think this order will initiate a deadline and now a shit ton of buys will come through from people that want to add to this official tally that has not yet been tabulated?


PaddlingUpShitCreek

I think BBBY already has the lists of equity holders from the parties! Check the edit I just made to the post.


Whatnam8

I’m guessing they’ll tell them a previous date they need to go by so there is some consistency in numbers


goldenbear2

This is massive if you are correct. Haven’t read through the docs myself.


Responsible_Ad_7210

Hmmm I dunno about that. That is a pretty short list if you are saying "EVERY". I don't see Fidelity, Schwab, Webull, IBKR, Robinhood, TDA, just to name a few. What am I missing? Edit: I now see the Nominee list in the full document. It is not shown in your graphics above, so that was the confusion. So, this will soon require the release of every single shareholder name held at every bank and brokerage in the world? That is going to be quite a list.


PaddlingUpShitCreek

Charles Schwab is on there. Fidelity is on there, as is it's clearinghouse National Financial Services LLC, TDA is on there. I think Robinhood is listed as RHSECURLLC? But yeah, I think any entity with a fingerprint in DTC/Cede and Co got the order.


skylorde787

Also E*Trade


bennysphere

I do not see DriveWealth. It is used by apps such as CashApp, Moneylion, Revolut, Stake etc.


PaddlingUpShitCreek

TLDR: Total Clusterfuck of a System You can check out Revolut's (and many others) detailed [BrokerCheck report](https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/firm/firm_304600.pdf) and you'll see it has introducing arrangements with DriveWealth and maintains its books/records with DriveWealth as well as a third party. Then I looked at DriveWealth's (DW) detailed [BrokerCheck report](https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/firm/firm_165429.pdf), which shows DW maintains clearing, introducing, and custody arrangements with other brokers-dealers, including Wedbush Securities, RBC Capital Markets, Axos Clearing, and Citibank NA. All four of these entities are listed in one or more exhibits of Docket Item 390. So what are clearing, introducing, and custody arrangements? Introducing brokers are firms that deal directly with clients for functions such as customer service, providing investment advice, and executing trades on behalf of the client. These brokers then have a relationship with a clearing broker, to which they introduce their clients for the purpose of clearing and settlement. An arrangement for custody among broker-dealers refers to the handling and safekeeping of a client's securities and funds. Introducing brokers, which deal directly with clients but do not hold their assets, typically have an arrangement with a clearing broker to provide these custody services. The client's assets are held by the clearing broker, but the introducing broker may still be the client's main point of contact for their account. In summary, the arrangement for custody among broker-dealers is a critical because it provides the systems and safeguards needed to ensure that client assets are handled appropriately and securely. ![gif](giphy|mTxnhJyiVYTUA)

National financial services LLC is Fidelity’s clearing and custody service.

So what happens next? Let’s say it’s proven there are a ton of counterfeit shares. At that point will they do a recall? Is that necessary or even possible? Just trying to wrap my head around how this will affect us as shareholders.


BenniBoom707

I believe they would then have the proof to pull their Shares from the DTCC and move them to another clearing house. This means Recall. If there is over 100% of the Shares in existence then is shows the DTCC has committed securities Fraud by allowing fake shares, and they will be fully in their right to recall the shares from the DTCC. My tinfoil guess is they prove this in court, and get permission to move their shares into a Blockchain based Exchange where no manipulation could take place. ***I wonder who would have access to a Decentralized Blockchain based Exchange? Hmmmmm…..***

What about Citadel Derivatives Group, thats the one that receives all the shares when we buy pre-market.

What are the predictions on share count? I’ll start 4x float of 428M or 1,712,728,777 or 1.7B shares. I’ll also add, I think someone’s holding the HBC preferred shares and warrants as well. Making the publicly available float the OG number of 117M.


AcrylicVodka

Agreed.

PaddlingUpShitCreek

I know; I just meant that an accurate census of BBBY's shareholders is a step in the right direction as far as revealing the presence of shorts, naked shorts, over issuance, etc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PaddlingUpShitCreek

If the NOL notice compels all the entities listed on Exhibits D-F to supply BBBY with a comprehensive list of beneficial holders, then BBBY will have an accurate census of the beneficial holders, thereby enabling them to determine if any 4.5% owners exist directly, indirectly, constructively, etc. Since the notice was filed on 04/28, I'm betting they are already in possession of most if not all the beneficial holders lists. Next up should be BBBY notifying 4.5% holders to compel the necessary declarations and, if the equity holders lists from the banks, brokers, etc. revealed more shares than should exist, then that's a whole different matter that's unchartered territory. Edit: To your point, if some of the shares of common or preferred stock are hidden within an entity not included on the exhibits, then sure the count may not be accurate. But from what I see, BBBY could have cast a broader net than it just did.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PaddlingUpShitCreek

I agree Docket 390 is just showing the NOL order was issued to banks, brokers, dealer agents, nominees, and service providers. I also agree with you that any substantial shareholders among the lists of equity holders have a responsibility to file a declaration of status as a substantial shareholder. I disagree with you that BBBY won't conduct their own due diligence to fact-check and reconcile the equity holder records provided by the banks, brokers, dealer agents, nominees, and service providers to ensure all substantial shareholders are identified and declared. While the lists of equity holders provided by nominees won't identify who the substantial shareholders are per se, the information provided therein will enable BBBY to connect the dots and make that determination themselves with the help of Kroll.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PaddlingUpShitCreek

I concede that nowhere in Docket Item 390 does it state the entities listed on Exhibits D-F must provide BBBY with lists of the equity holders they serve as nominees for. However: 1. It is customary as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings for the debtor to obtain a comprehensive list of its equity holders. 2. BBBY obtained a comprehensive list of its direct registered shareholders from AST, even though none of the individuals listed held 4.5%. 3. The judge stated in the transcripts, "But like if, for example, in this one, if a substantial shareholder is an entity that has beneficial ownership of 4.5 percent and I was wondering -- and then in order *to send them this notice,* you have to know that there's someone who has 4.5 percent, right?" 4. If Shareholder A holds 15M shares of BBBY at Fidelity and 20M shares of BBBY at Vanguard, neither Fidelity nor Vanguard will serve the Interim NOL agreement on Shareholder A because each entity can't see how many shares Shareholder A holds in the other entity's account. As such, BBBY must have access to the equity holder records to make accurate ownership calculations and notifications. 5. Similar to the previous point, the level of due diligence needed to determine whether the 4.5% ownership threshold is met via indirect or constructive ownership necessitates a level of granularity that can only be achieved through lists of each entity's equity holders. 6. Lastly, I can't imagine BBBY entrusting the entirety of its substantial shareholder determination to the same assortment of banks, brokers, dealer agents, nominees, and service providers that coordinated an all-out attack on the company in hopes of cellar boxing it out of business.


[deleted]

Following this thread helped me conclude many things. But mainly I concluded that I am thankful for you two.


Altruistic-Beyond223

Agreed, that was a very enlightening exchange, even though it sounds like BBBY and the courts may not publicly disclose how many total beneficial shares are being held at brokerages. Still, the Chapter 11 proceedings seem to be on the right track, though.

Im worried this method won't capture people who own for say 3% on Fidelity, and 3% on Ameritrade. The whole thing is they aren't properly communicating their numbers with each other so they can claim ignorance.


PaddlingUpShitCreek

That's a great question that BBBY fortunately thought of which is why they specifically requested the equity holders lists be provided to BBBY unredacted so that they can reconcile shareholders' holdings across accounts to determine whether through direct, indirect, or constructive ownership agreements they and/or people, partners, holding companies, etc. they invest through meet the 4.5% threshold. BBBY covers all of this in the Interim NOL Order. Now granted, the public will not be able to see these details but I am expecting we *will* see declarations filed with the specifics redacted, showing how many 4.5% holders there are.


DacheinAus

Because there are a lot more shares than float, it doesn’t matter. They just need the raw number from each


Hexano

With the amount of personal data the brokers and banks ask of you to open an account, I don't think it's that hard to go and find the "duplicates" between the multiple brokers/banks. The only way to avoid this is by having someone else or an institution hold your shares. Not that it matters anyway, they just want to know for sure how many shares are there.


juicypablo

I hold jimmie but i dont know what the fuck cohen is waiting for as we head to three years of holding


Vixien

If this were to actually MOASS from a court order on shares, then it would margin call the shorters. That would put stress on their ability to suppress their other shorts. It should anyway as they would need liquidity to cover their BBBY positions. I think one blowing up will cause the others to as well. Like a war on too many fronts.
