These are direct quotes from DFV in his livestream. He never says where his mountain of money came from - only that it was his.
I’m not sure about the “legality” of lying about these things on a Youtube livestream while trolling with buffoonery, but it’s a possibility. I personally think he was being truthful, albeit very selective with his words.
I absolutely doubt he was able to scrape together 200+ million (after taxes!?) by himself. We were all shocked he had the financial means to double down in February 2021, and I assumed he tapped a massive line of credit when he quadrupled his position just a few months later. Hundreds of millions, however, is waaayy beyond a 3rd mortgage. Note he did NOT say how he came up with his mountain of money, only that it was “his”.
Possibilities:
If this was Reddit I’d give an award or whatever they push now. Amazing, thank you.
Would you be willing to provide more info regarding the sect you’re referencing, for instance the name? I have a fascination with “original” gnostic/apocryphal beliefs, but this one is extremely intriguing & I want to learn more.
If it weren’t for DFV’s comeback perfectly coinciding with the warm-up & run, I’d also be 100% of the opinion this is the prophesied “fake squeeze”. How the absolute fuck did he foresee this run? The movement, volume and speed of this burst is FAR beyond the capabilities retail, even considering DFV.
First thought is this is UBS closing out CS’ toxic Archegos bags containing GME shorts, but they’d be foolish to do so with such speed - why not draw it out over time to temper the price & close it out cheaper? Maybe they chose to go first & fast before others with massive short positions have a chance to react & follow suit to survive? But if so, how did DFV have recon on this happening?
Second thought was Icahn - whether finally closing short positions and/or taking a new long position, IEP just dropped an 8K showing they borrowed 500m… presumably for a big move. Like UBS, though IEP would be foolish to do so this quickly - Carl’s MO is stealth, and this run is the opposite. Perhaps his health is in sudden decline and he wants to see the system burn before he departs?
Third, and I think the most likely option, is RC. He is (was?) the largest private shareholder of APPL stock which recently did a buy-back. Did they purchase directly from RC so as not to impact their stock price, leaving RC with billions in cash? What if RC then brought DFV into RC Ventures, or coordinated his move with DFV? I’m convinced RC’s GME journey began with DFV, making this a poetic move.
I think DFV is the new CIO of RCV. Whether the protagonists of this story are attempting a rug-pull or not, the event has finally begun.
May I suggest a monthly gallery post instead? While I appreciate your commitment to your hobby art, it is littering the feed - on Reddit too, but more so here due to the low volume of non–your-drawings posts.
