You give crooks enough rope they will hang themselves. ENTI keep increase the SS as the price went up and the SS swelled. $4-8 commission on each buy or sales. Add the adage a fat pig can't fly...shorts didn't matter....Well, until that immediate release divvy. Then a Cash account could not get DTCC coverage in time because they had made the stock DTCC ineligible. Late in a Cash account is Security Fraud and it only take 1. Then the sale of a asset by the brokerage, merger sell, acquistion put a $ amount on the damage. The SEC complaint cause a investigation. SEC DTCC probably said Oh shit after the investigation resulting in a 1.4 Billion dollar liability 1.4 Billion the brokerage authorized by the SEC and DTCC didn't have assets to cover.

Problem fixed. The dumb-ass trader didn't flinch and here we are. Be my best guess with 100's of billions of shares in the mix.
