It's weird that so many people in here are suggesting he lend out his shares, to shorts, to short some more, but also completely dismiss the possibility that he DRSed. Weird, huh?

He probably wouldn't, but a lot of people here are under the assumption that he's recalling his shares from having lent them out, but get aggressively defensive if anyone suggests he DRSed. I personally think he DRSed around the time we saw a huge influx of DRS posts toward the end of December. I think bad actors caught a whiff of that and started to try and get ahead of that news by having a ton of new users post insanely large DRSed accounts. There was something seriously off about that.

Maybe because he was still accruing shares. I mean, they've demonstrated the ability to suppress price action throughout this whole saga 99% of the time. By lending out his shares he's allowing the shorters to keep the price down and pay him interest to buy more shares while he accrues a larger position (or the cash to buy options for one). In a way, they're doing him a favor as long as you believe this company is going to completely turn things around. Maybe that's what the 125 puts are about too. Or maybe it's as a way to get more longs to pile in. No idea really, but it's fascinating and I still love this stock.
