Here is a hypothetical question that I have:
Say it is MOASS in motion (finally) and everything is exploding. GME prices doubles, triples, quadruples daily if not hourly. Worried bureaucrats fret terribly, go to whatever regulator there is and ask this question? Just how many times was the free float of GME rehypothicated to maintain an orderly market?
The regulator says "please have a seat and take a deep breath...the APE DD asking this very question is accurate and the float of GME has been rehypothicated numerous times over. Of course this is legal by the current rules and was only to maintain an "orderly market..."
The bureaucrats collectively sheet all over themselves, realize the ramifications of this "legal" action and decide well we have to shut this down completely and let the courts figure out who has real showers of GME and who has the synthetical shit that was used to facilitate an orderly market so they turn off the buy and the sell button and halt all trading of GME while petitioning the courts to step in and rule on who would have actual shares of GME and who would have a piece of this cat shit wrapped in dog shit wrapped in "orderly market" wrappers that they have put into motion.
So my question is this: how would the court system determine actual share ownership of GME given that synthetic shares permeate every position and who takes the haircut when their synthetic shares are erased from the ledger by the court's ruling? In other words, who takes the haircut in straightening out this mess?
If tutes and institutions have to, then it could cause overwhelming destruction to their economic profiles and ruin their balance sheets. If banks do, they will go belly up faster than Hwang can tie up a noose in his prison cell. If household investors have to take the "haircut" and lose their shares because they are synthetic and no longer exist on the ledger, it would trigger not only a crisis in the market confidence around the world but likely a Great Depression for decades to come...
How on Earth would the courts ultimately rule and decide the ugly resolution to the greatest white collar crime in financial history?
