They gave the shares to the group that keeps ledgers of who has shares and what. And then that group instructed their brokers to treat it as a forward split f2 instead of a dividend split f6.
Essentially instead of giving everyone (on paper) 3 more shares per share they told the brokers to multiply existing shares by 4 essentially taking one existing share and splitting it into 4. One action divides the price by 4 the other should of resulted in no price action.
GameStop was very clear in their filing how to handle it and that of the dtcc and brokers did it wrong they would step in and do it themselves. I’m waiting for that part now.
So we should have gotten 3 extra shares at the ~$130 price each, but the DTCC fucked us and split our shares into 4 parts equaling ~$38 each?
No, this is always the intention. They wanted to lower the price of the share so more people could afford to buy them.
Some companies just do a share split. IE. they instruct all investment companies to (in this case) multiply all shares by 4 and dividing the price by 4.
Gamestop did a stock dividend split. So Gamestop increased the total number of shares by 4 and handed the DTCC something like 200m shares to divvy out to the investors as a dividend with a value of 0. (So the value of shares should have decreased since there are 4x) As of right now, all we know is investment companies were instructed by the DTCC to just multiply their shares by 4 and were never given any of the newly issued shares. Where are they?
And did they do that so that the hedge fund fucktards could continue to cover their short interest, where as they would have owed 4x the amount?
So, wait .. a person who had 100 shares now has 400? Is that what you mean? And what you're saying is that this DTCC (whatever that is) didn't follow instructions and did something wrong, so now they're in trouble?

Ohh ... thank you for explaining more. Where are they, indeed?
yes, yes, looks like it
Clearly, I know nothing about the stock market. But I do know that something has been cooking with GME, so it's interesting to sort of follow, even if I don't fully understand.
I hope you take the time to buy a few of them. I think you'll be happy you did.
yes, this is going to be fun to watch! Are you following the AMC saga?
I am multiape. Answer: Yes
I know, right! Things are getting hotttttt
I'm a multiape as well. You can direct register your own shares in your own name for BOTH Gamestop and AMC. AMC holders should learn more.
AMC is about to go nuts with the new APE stock listing. It's going to be like 'Musical Chairs' in school. Not everybody is going to get their free premium 1:1 share of APE stock for each AMC share they own. Could be a problem if hundreds of millions of shares are counterfeit. We'll see what happens.
Note: Shareholders with registered shares at Computershare will see the new APE exchange-listed premium shares appear in their accounts automatically. Those shares are registered in their name.
The leftover shares are sent to Wall Street for distribution. What happens when they don't have enough to distribute?
Details about the process to direct register shares can be found on the Superstonk Red. site This is obviously information and not advice.
Appreciate it 👊🏼
