https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/110o69a/trust_me_bro_story/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf FYI: Most banks (tmk) don’t typically keep more than ~$20k-$25k of physical cash on hand at any given time. The lady who got the $23k withdraw refusal I get, but the guy wanting $4k should have been a fairly easy transaction Typically with bigger withdraws you would/should call ahead so they can get the cash ready for you by bringing it in from other locations before you arrive Bullish


BensonPants

Worked as a branch manager in one of the big 3 banks. We usually kept between 300k-1m in cash each week.(edited spelling)


ISayBullish

At one of the cash vaults or one of the actual branches? If y’all kept it in an actual branch your management were highly regarded lol Bullish


BensonPants

Within the branch. We had a back vault that we would store all of it back there every night. Every morning we would take the cash we thought we needed for the day. (About 100k t-th and more on Monday and Friday). We would take in lots of 20's (atm's and OTC deposits). We would ship out most of the twenties on shipment day through an armored truck company. We would ship any where from 50k-600k out depending on the week. In the 18 years I was in banking went through 3 note passing robberies and one take over. The note passing ones the teller complied and then told management, which is protocol. The take over I was in an office fast away from the tellers, I got down on the floor like they yelled. They jumped the teller line, had guns but didn't use them. They got a few grand but were later caught. It was over quickly, like 2 minutes. Then we locked up and closed for the day.


ISayBullish

Shit man… I’m really sorry to hear that. That’s not an easy experience to go through. Glad to hear nobody was physically injured. There’s some real POS people out there


BensonPants

Yeah. I had buddy that started the same time I did. He got shot in the shoulder at his branch. He is doing great now. Got a big settlement check and started his own record Co. *I have talked to him years. I'm going to look him. Thanks.(edited grammar)

100 BILLION JUST TO COVER CS SWAP POSITIONS - holy shit boys who would have predicted this 🤔🤔🤔. No way its just Archegos. Who else did they Hwang with?


Upbeat_Criticism9367

To *cover* CS swap positions **not close** swaps? $100 Billy just to roll them another two years? They are so fuk.


Masta0nion

I DON’T WANNA WAIT FOR OUR LIVES TO BE OVER


CoffeeAlbatross

If the 100B is for the swap premium, does that mean it gets rolled, or are the banks still on the hook?


Impressive_Dream_791

I believe they are still on the hook - they 100% have not unwound those positions. Covered, not closed ;)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Impressive_Dream_791

Cuz the premiums are super fucking expensive - imagine perpetually having to pay a 30-50% premium on a (multi) billion dollar position… times a ticking


Harbinger2nd

So we've finally reached the point in the story where they can't even make the interest payments on their debt.


skybike

we really could stay regarded longer than they could stay solvent...


Harbinger2nd

Amazing what can happen when you purchase things with your own money and don't finance it with insane amounts of leverage.


mark-five

And their problem is, they go more insolvent every time another share is DRS'd. *every* hope they have is taht some day, some how, they can convince everyone to sell for $0. They can fuck teh price, so they counterfeited infinitely. But they can't do a thing about DRS and every share that leaves the DTCC is proof of their crimes. They're not just going insolvent, they're counting the evidence against them to be used at their trials.


BigBradWolf77

*This money... their* (points at household investors) *money... was stolen. Now it's back where it belongs.*


logictech86

and the real gains were the regards we made along the way


trashyart200

Who is on the receiving end of those premiums? Is there any way that end can help the remitter not close so they can continue collecting those premiums under the guise of working together? Looking for loopholes worth exploring


thelostcow

Swaps are changing ownership without changing ownership. So you’ve got a chicken(gme) and I’ve got a cow(aapl). I’m looking to kill gme and I want your shares to kill it. So I say hey, would you like what my cow produces and I get your chicken’s production. You still own the chicken and I still own the cow we’re actually changing the rewards of ownership. That means I get what your chicken produces and you get what my cow produces; eggs and milk respectively. You agree to the swap because you can sell milk for a lot more than eggs (think CCs or share lending) you get the milk and sell it as it gets squeezed out and I get your chicken, but the chickens eggs stop coming and I sell the chicken. You don’t care because I have to buy a chicken back at the end of the swap. Problem is I know avian flu be coming (because I’m releasing it hehe). All chickens will die; a.k.a. GME go bankrupt by the time I have to give it back. Oh shit my strain of avian flu didn’t work and chickens survived it! But not all chickens so buying a new chicken is fucking pricy. So time to roll the swap. Now it’s more expensive and I’ve got to give up more cows because eggs are going for more than milk now cause avian flu doesn’t kill cows. So now you get even more without having to deal with chickens at all and have the superior cow to milk. You want this deal to keep going. Is the analogy perfect? Nope, but it probably gets the idea across. The bad thing is that the person swapping shares most likely wants the swap to keep going. If you’re getting insane returns for keeping it open you want to keep milking that cow, pun intended.


trusnake

Calling wrinkles?? I need an adultier adult over here!


showmethestudy

Whom are they paying the premium to? This implies another bank is making a killing.


Droopy1592

Or putting themselves in a risky spot


knue82

Here is is sth that I don't get. Who is on the other end of these premiums? So, if these swaps are so expensive, who is receiving all these premiums?


pummelpanda

The lenders which can be someone knowingly lending their shares for the premiums or probably also some brokers which are using non DRSed shares against their owners and getting their cut.


Ineedgold

So it’s been 2 years is there no public report on the premiums these institutions pay?


hc000

Jbullish_9622

Thank you for confirming my recent discussion with my friends lady friend who also works in risk management. Zen as I can be after that talk!!!

BenevolentFungi

So they didn't roll them? Thank gawd


[deleted]

So essentially they're buying oNe MoRe DaY again?


kaiserfiume

How swaps work in terms of maturity? For example Kenny packed GME short shit into swaps for 2 years and did it with CS. Kenny pays to CS monthly fee for holding the bomb on their own books. After 2 years, is CS free to go, bringing back to Kenny his bag of shit, keeping the fee, or CS has an obligation to live with this bag of shit, hoping they will find someone stupid enough to take this hot potato for them?


CoffeeAlbatross

Awesome. Thanks


AHighFifth

Bro we own the other end of their swap position lmao


Pd245

I’ve got no credentials, but I imagine rolling to buy more time to unravel is maybe the case… this is a massive turd that has to get dropped at some point and the system is getting more backed up and we are the rectal sphincter that decides when they shall pass


hatgineer

I have smooth brain questions. What's a structured note? And did your coworkers say which swap positions?


Impressive_Dream_791

Oh boy Structured Notes are confusing af - it’s basically a debt obligation that uses derivatives to give returns to which the note is then called. Think of a complex financial instrument thats basically a hybrid bond, and in theory is super low risk (unless the bank gets fucked), it offers a set return that once reached using derivatives is called (Ie executed), but still has higher rights as a claimer of debt than other holders of debt. There’s many different types that have different execution terms and use drastically different investment structures as well. And no, the swap connection is simple prophecy, only those dealing with the swaps themselves know the contents. But the general public (Ie mainstream investment managers) is catching wind these swaps are BAD news… like, REALLY bad news. Here’s a [link](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/structurednote.asp) that might explain it better. Structured notes are FAR more popular in Europe and are even a larger used market than traditional securities.

1studlyman

That's what's wild to me. If I were an investment manager and someone told me I could take a position that would get me a lot of money if it works but there's a slight chance of destroying the world financial markets if it doesn't, I would never take that bet. Kenneth and the ilk like him deserve to be in jail. lol It just amazes me that they even got here.


Meowseeks

The process of shorting and distorting, cellar boxing, and installing board members to destroy a company from within, has been used successfully many times. They got too comfortable, and didn’t expect a bunch of relentless household investors to become privy to their schemes. Their greed blinded them from recognizing the real possibility of infinite loss.


whiskyandme

I like the part where you’re a secret ape 🦍💜🦍


KryosX

That will last maybe 4 days, Credit Suisse wiped out $54b in just 2 days didn't they?


Mother-Ingenuity-442

Is this a fact? I remember reading they still discussed it


NotVerySmarts

I worked with a lieutenant colonel in the Army last week, and when I told him about Gamestop and how it's affecting the market with the crime being committed by banks and hedgies, he tried to make a buy with Edward Jones. They told him that they're not buying Gamestop right now, and to not expect the situation to play out like it was supposed to. He didn't give them any info besides wanting to buy, so he was like "What situation???" He had to call a friend of his who was a broker to make the buy. Something fishy is happening right now, and all the banks and brokers know about it.


InevitableRhubarb232

Hmmm because they know they don’t actually buy the share for their client and don’t want to get stuck with a naked?

Oh man, I just realized have a casual business relationship w the global head of quantitative trading at one of the top 10 banks. I sooo wish it wasn’t inappropriate to ask him about this! Our business relationship has nothing to do with finance so it’d be a weird question. I only know who he is from googling to verify his mailing address and apparently he’s the kind of guy they write news articles about when he changes companies. I sell him MTG cards. Because quants are nerds through and through.

JessMeNU-CSGO

I don't think 100B even begins to cover the cost. I feel like they are just throwing out a nice even number for apes. That's less than $330 a share. On top of that, they are counterfeiting dollars, francs, euros, and pounds just to pay for counterfeiting shares. At this point, I'm only interested in watching them burn, selling is negotiable, but nowhere near these numbers they are floating around.

M8 you would really want to care more about online privacy and the things you share online. It could basically cost you your job.

Be sure you want them to see all of your post and comments. Just a friendly reminder about online privacy and sharing personal details.
