Counterfeit shares of $GME being borrowed? Anonymous Fri Jan 29 22:51:29 2021 No.27111664 [Reply] [Original]

I read somewhere that short sellers were able to do what they did because the brokers opened a "virtual long position". Wouldn't this be a form of counterfeiting a stock? Doesn't issued stock have to be registered with the SEC? And if so, why are they allowed to counterfeit security shares to allow for borrowing? Isn't counterfeiting covered by RICO because this is a means of market manipulation by borrowers and issuers to suppress a security's price?

I don't care what kind of special lingo they use, if you're creating "virtual" long positions, you're creating fake shares to be sold; i.e. counterfeiting securities that aren't registered with the SEC.

Anyone else notice this?
