The author of the explainer was an Executive VP at Smith Barney. Perhaps you should read what he's sharing.

Executive VP at a bank is just a standard rank-and-file role. It is not a leadership position.

There's copious amounts of allegations of illegal naked short selling but zero actual evidence - not even circumstantial evidence. The article mentions coincidences that might've happened, by citing how stock prices seems to adjust to news so quickly as to being evidence of it being manipulated.

I would not trust the article. It reeks of the same conspiracy theory as https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

I'll believe a Wall St veteran over a nameless internet person. Thanks though.

Meh, appeal to authority reinforcing a densely packed post doesn't win me over. Still appreciate they took the time, and it's helpful to know details. I'd prefer it was shorter and approachable to outsiders like myself.
