Is this the same Brett Harrison that used to work for Bernie Maddoff’s protégée Ken Griffin at Citadel securities?

The same trading firm that posted 34% returns in a year when global finance is in complete meltdown?

Isn’t there a trading rule that allows market makers like Citadel securities to flood the market with synthetic shares in order to provide “liquidity” to markets? Isn’t that rule colloquially referred to as the Maddoff exemption?

Is the entire finance industry just a piece of dog shit wrapped in cat shit?

I wonder if they got a visit from government agencies over the machine?

This is a dumpster fire AMA from a guy with 29 years of experience who seems to know fuckall.

It’s like Woody all over again..

I was embedded with the Afghan National Police as an advisor in northern Helmand. Every Thursday our police would have a celebration where they ate, smoked hash, and invariably played pin the tail on the donkey with one of the young men working for the police. The police referred to the practice as "jiggy jiggy," and informed us that women were for procreation, and boys were recreation. They flatly denied participating in homosexual behavior, and insinuations of such occasionally resulted in the police turning their weapons on Marines. For the most part, this was limited to the unmarried police, and usually the chai boy was a junior policeman. Meanwhile, the district governor compound was like the Afghan equivalent of neverland ranch with children coming and going all the time. We knew what was taking place behind those walls, but our hands were tied seeing as how the governor was the major powerbroker in the village. There was a lot of really heart-wrenching stuff that I saw take place out there.

Well, I didn’t need a degree from Harvard Business School to know that FTX was a total scam. I wonder what excuse “smart money” has for such a poor investment.
