Short & Distort Checklist:
1. Short the chosen stock to oblivion
2. Insert hand firmly into puppet and broadcast baseless assumptions across national media outlets
3. Encourage an SEC investigation in order to tie up company resources, complicate the legality of an official company response, and to further the perceived veracity of said baseless assumptions
4. Retail sells stock due to #2 & #3
5. Original shorters either cellar box the company off the exchange or switch to long position at the bottom of the plunge
6. $$Massive profits$$ for providing value to society

We are at step 2, approaching step 3 for anyone not paying attention. Can't wait for comments to be turned off.

I'm honestly impressed that cnbc doesn't disable their comments section. It only shows how everyone on YouTube, reddit, discord, or any other place on the internet sees this channel for what it is, the short and distort propaganda channel (brought to you by Citadel!).

I think CNBC are the ones who really need to be investigated here by SEC. They are the official spokespeople for the short campaigns.

[etherkye]

His ownership percentage went up because BBBY have been doing share buybacks. Therefore he's legally require to file the form. Why are you telling people that he's breaking the law when he's just following it directly?

Surely you should be the ones under investigation for illegal market manipulations with this trash

[jacobwalsh]

CNBC keeps looking more and more compromised the more this game plays out.

[purplerings]

Gary should look at CNBC distorting information.

[kennethgriffin]

Thanks for the reach-around, fellas! Mayo's on me tonight!
Invite Gary if you see him...last I checked he was busy commenting in the S&M section of PH.

fake news... cramer looks like he is going to cry

[rockievii]

You are just flat out lying. THIS is market manipulation, not what Ryan Cohen is doing.

[ThiRteeNzwei]

Now can we get some information from the DTC immediately about the split dividend of $GME?

[natureboy]

I love how Cramer speaks in a low voice this one. As if he is the wise person talking to those that are not as smart as him

[beatingthedow]

Wow.. you guys are relentless. Are your hedge fund friends THAT underwater? Ryan Cohen bought at 15ish... and the current price is $17, so you guys are saying he is putting all this effort to sell now or at a loss? Can you support American workers and economy by doing honest reporting and supporting good activist investors like Ryan Cohen and stop spreading this crap?

[QPham]

egghead 🤡spreading lies, RC only filed 144 Form to keep option to sell in the future, he isn't selling.

RICO for CNBC and the other outlets- now’s the time.

Utterly insane and these hosts should be facing legal consequences ASAP now.

[jake-wigi]

bahahahaha cramer, a criminal asking the feds to arrest someone who plays by the rules is epitome of how free and fair markets are.

[johnsanders]

Blood in the water, fear and desperation starting to show in public.

[rudriguezbauer]

*Impressive! your potentials have always been amazing* I'm fascinated by investing, and having about *$250K* sitting around doing nothing in the bank, I'm ready to invest. What sector do you recommend getting into?

[Swaggaccino]

YOU CAN'T STRENGTHEN YOUR BALANCE SHEETS AND ATTRACT NEW INVESTORS PRIOR TO BANKRUPTCY, THAT'S MARKET MANIPULATION AND COULD LIQUIDATE OUR HEDGE FUND BECAUSE WE MADE A REALLY RISKY PLAY FOR FREE MONEY, I'M LITERALLY PHONING GG RN." - Literally Cramer

[seanbous]

Boy are you guys happy Youtube removed the ability to see the like/dislike ratio

[edwardmulduggan]

Imagine reporting on finance and not understanding what is going on. Maybe the real APEs were the pundits all along. Idiots (yes I do know they are just lying)
