Hillary Clinton campaign attorney moves to dismiss Durham investigation case

 

An attorney for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign is seeking the dismissal of a case against him, calling the matter “extraordinary prosecutorial overreach”

 

The attorney, Michael Sussman, was charged in Special Prosecutor John Durham’s investigation with making a false statement to a federal agent when he gave the FBI a tip in September 2016 about an apparent connection between the Trump Organization and Moscow’s Alfa Bank. Further review suggested the supposed digital fingerprints were likely the result of junk email.

 

Prosecutors allege that Sussman falsely stated “that he was not acting on behalf of any client in conveying particular allegations concerning a Presidential candidate,” when he was in fact working for then-candidate Clinton.

 

Sussmann has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

 

In a motion to dismiss filed Thursday, lawyers for Sussman said he did not make false statements to the FBI, and argued that prosecutors were pursuing him on a technicality.

 

Lawyers for Sussman said in a Thursday filing that he “voluntarily” met with the FBI in the fall of 2016 to “pass along information that raised national security concerns.”

 

“He met with the FBI, in other words, to provide a tip,” attorneys for Sussman wrote. “There is no allegation in the indictment that the tip he provided was false. And there is no allegation that he believed the tip he provided was false.”

 

“Rather, Mr. Sussmann has been charged with making a false statement about an entirely ancillary matter—about who his client may have been when he met with the FBI—which is a fact that even the Special Counsel’s own Indictment fails to allege had any effect on the FBI’s decision to open an investigation,” they continued.

 

“Allowing this case to go forward would risk criminalizing ordinary conduct, raise First Amendment concerns, dissuade honest citizens from coming forward with tips, and chill the advocacy of lawyers who interact with the government,” Sussman’s lawyers said.

 

“Mr. Sussmann did not make any false statement to the FBI,” they added.

 

Sussman faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

Ottawa bylaw threatens to seize protesters' pets and 'relinquish' them after 8 days

Animal owners participating in the Ottawa 'Freedom Convoy' protests could lose their pets, city by-law officials warned.

By Ian Miles Cheong | February 17, 2022

 

Thursday morning, Ottawa bylaw officials announced that anyone participating in the on-going protests,

which began over two weeks ago, could risk having their pets seized.

The move to threaten pet-owners follows increased efforts by both the city and federal authorities to bring an end

to the truck drivers’ protests over Canadian vaccine mandates.

 

“If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions,

your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost,”

warned Ottawa bylaw on Twitter. “After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished.”

 

While it’s unclear what the government officials mean by the term “relinquished,”

the warning garnered outrage on social media, with many expressing dismay over the city’s threat.

 

Move the truck or we euthanize your dog. https://t.co/FTj9bJZqhO

The move to threaten protesters comes as Ottawa police and bylaw officials hand out notices to truck drivers

still camped out near Parliament Hill at Wellington Street and R. O’Connor Street.

Despite the warnings, protesters are yet to vacate the area.

FBI Raids and Subpoenas Have Been Occurring on Wall Street. What’s Up?

 

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal dropped the bombshell that the Justice Department has been conducting raids on prominent short-sellers, including Muddy Waters’ Carson Block and Andrew Left of Citron Research. The Journal reported that the Justice Department “has seized hardware, trading records and private communications….”

muh evil short sellers are ALWAYS blamed same in 2008-this is not an endorsement of naked shorting because that is an altogether different issue/problem

Reuters reported yesterday that the Justice Department’s probe is “part of a wide-ranging investigation into short-sellers and hedge funds focused on suspected coordinated manipulative trading, according to two people familiar with the matter.” Reuters also reported that “dozens” of subpoenas have been issued to various firms since early last year.

 

Of particular interest to Wall Street On Parade was a report on December 10 by Reuters which indicated that trading activity in the shares of GSX Techedu was in the cross hairs of the Justice Department because both Muddy Waters and Citron Research had circulated negative research on the company. If GSX Techedu, a Chinese online tutoring firm, is being probed, we can assure you that more than short-sellers need to be under investigation by the Justice Department. (The company has changed its name to Gaotu Techedu.)

 

GSX Techedu was one of the stocks that had been purchased in huge quantities by Archegos Capital Management before Archegos blew itself up in March of last year. Archegos was using tricked-up derivative contracts provided by major Wall Street firms that allowed it to hide its ownership interests in various stocks and obtain massive amounts of margin loans provided by the same Wall Street firms.

 

When we checked 13F filings with the SEC that were dated prior to the Archegos blowup to find out who might have been fronting for Archegos’ position in GSX Techedu, we found the following: Goldman Sachs held over 20 million shares of GSX Techedu with a put option on just 3.45 million shares; Morgan Stanley held over 14 million shares; UBS held more than 11 million shares; Bank of America held more than 5.8 million shares; Citigroup, over 4.8 million shares; and JPMorgan Chase, over 4 million shares.

2 of 2

The market value for all six megabanks’ holdings in GSX Techedu was more than $3 billion as of December 31, 2020. What was completely insane about these "sophisticated Wall Street banks" holding such a sizeable position in GSX Techedu as of December 31, 2020 was that on April 14, 2020 Citron Research had published a 34-page report calling the company “The Most Blatant Chinese Stock Fraud since 2011.” On May 18, 2020 Muddy Waters had released a 25-page detailed report on GSX Techedu which sized up the company as follows: “We are short GSX because we conclude that it is a near-total fraud.....“We conclude that at least ~70% of its users are fake, and we think it’s quite likely that at least ~80% of its users are fake.” Both reports offered compelling evidence for their charges of fraud.

 

But after the detailed reports of a fraudulent operation were published, instead of the share price collapsing, it actually soared from about $30 a share to over $100. That doesn’t sound like manipulation by short-sellers who should be under investigation.

No it's the market makers playing games to keep the system intact-a similar thing habbened in 2007 when Morgan Stanley sold a large chunk to one of the Arab SWF and had them make a choice to either do the deal before Morgan announced a huge qtrly loss or at current price before the loss announced-naturally they chose to take the deal after the loss announced and Morgan Stanley stock was jammed upwards from by about 20% making that deal more costly-I witnessed it cause I watched muh Puts on it become worthless after that huge loss announced

 

The share price of GSX Techedu did crash when Archegos blew up in late March 2021, because Wall Street firms had to liquidate all of the stock positions they had leveraged up on behalf of Archegos. Under its new name, Gaotu Techedu, the company’s share price closed at $2.47 yesterday. It has traded in a range of $1.55 to $2.50 since December.

 

The draft registration statement filed with the SEC for the listing of GSX Techedu’s American Depository Receipts (ADRs) on the New York Stock Exchange lists the following Wall Street firms as the underwriters: Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs (Asia), Bank of America Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities.

 

This raises the question, if GSX Techedu was, indeed, a fraud at the time Citron Research and Muddy Waters published their reports, why didn’t these megabanks on Wall Street catch it when they did their due diligence as underwriters? If the company was not a fraud, why have Muddy Waters and Citron Research not been forced to retract their published reports, which remain online for anybody to read?

A $2.2 Trillion Crunch Time Looms for Traders Loaded With Stock Hedges

 

Stock investors, on guard for turmoil with everything from geopolitics to Federal Reserve hawkishness strafing their nerves, are bracing for a chaotic end to the week with $2.2 trillion of option expirations set to hit the market Friday.

 

The monthly event involves $545 billion of derivatives across single stocks scheduled to expire, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates. About $985 billion of S&P 500-linked contracts and $165 billion in options tied to the world’s largest exchange-traded fund, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ticker SPY), will run out, according to the firm’s strategist Rocky Fishman.

 

While the specific impact of the options market on stocks is never easy to quantify, equity indexes have shown a reliable pattern during the last year of lurching lower near the third Friday -- the day when many stock derivatives are closed. This time, volume is being whipped up by traders searching for protection in a market where the S&P 500 has swung by more than 1% in all but two sessions this month.

 

Exploding options volume has been a fixture of the post-pandemic era and repeatedly shown itself able to exacerbate volatility in cash equities. Among other channels, efforts to hedge positions among dealers are theorized to induce bigger swings in underlying securities, as market makers dart in and out of shares to balance positions, particularly around expiration.

 

While bullish contracts were once the instrument of choice among the meme crowd, investor demand for bearish options has been growing with the Fed expected to hike rates in March for the first time in three years. Amid a new-year selloff across assets, put open interest on SPY climbed to a two-month high, while that for the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (ticker HYG) surged to a record. A similarly cautious stance is on display for individual stocks. The 20-day average of the Cboe put-call ratio for equities hovered near the highest level in almost two years-cap #3. Retail traders are now paying up for puts. Meanwhile, hedge fund short sellers are reloading at the fastest pace in more than a decade.

 

As skeptical as sentiment looked in the options market, investors are hardly bailing. In fact, they poured $34.1 billion into U.S. large-cap stock funds in the week to Feb. 9, the most ever, EPFR Global data compiled by Bank of America Corp. show.

 

If anything, Friday’s OpEx event could lead to an unwinding of hedging from options dealers, helping propel equity gains, according to Charlie McElligott, a cross-asset strategist at Nomura Holdings. It’s a complicated process,'''(really it is not-just understand the language and the mystery unveils itself-however he is right below*) but it works roughly like this: When a dealer sells a put option, it’s essentially taking a bet on the underlying asset to go up. To offset this unwanted directional risk, the dealer typically sells some of the asset to maintain a neutral position. When the put options expire, it will reverse those hedging moves, potentially creating a tail wind for the asset.

 

Another factor involving options dealers, McElligott pointed out, is their current “short gamma” position that requires them to go with prevailing market trends: buy stocks when they go up and sell when they fall.

 

That “means chase-y accelerant flows from dealer hedging into moves and creating overshoots in both directions,” McElligott wrote in a note Thursday. *“We have a ton of ‘push/pull.’”

Allianz Takes $4.2 Billion Charge Over Collapsed Hedge Fund Debacle

 

2021 was a bad year for hedge funds, but few were hit as hard as insurance giant Allianz SE, which today announced it would take a €3.7 billion ($4.2 billion) charge tied to the implosion of some of its U.S. hedge funds.

 

The provision will hit last year’s net income by €2.8 billion, the company said in a statement late Thursday. And while the insurer expects to settle with major investors in the funds shortly, bringing some clarity to months of uncertainty on the legal bill for the matter, discussions with other plaintiffs, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are ongoing. The company also warned that it can’t reliably estimate the total financial impact of the legal matter and expects additional expenses.

 

Some background: the Allianz hedge fund investment strategy, known as Structured Alpha, used "complex option strategies" to generate predictable returns without excessive risk, but according to the investors, imploded in February and March 2020 after quietly removing hedges designed to minimize losses. What is remarkable is that the hedge funds offered by the AGI unit were designed to provide protection against a market crash. Instead, two of the Structured Alpha Funds were liquidated at the end of March 2020 after suffering massive losses, and Allianz has since wound down the rest.

 

According to court papers, the Structured Alpha Global Equity 500 fund lost three-quarters of its value, lagging its benchmark by nearly 60 percentage points. Two other funds once worth $2.3 billion were liquidated, locking in investor losses.The collapse sparked a frenzy of lawsuits by investors alleging losses of some $6 billion, as well as an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. (which will go NOWHERE)

 

Back in August, Allianz warned that the hedge funds implosion could “materially impact” future earnings, after the U.S. Department of Justice started a probe into the funds. Then, in September, a U.S. judge said Allianz must face investor claims it wrongly "abandoned" the investment strategies it promised to use on hedge funds that suffered massive losses as the COVID-19 pandemic shook markets early last year.

 

It wasn't all bad though: Allianz said operating profit rose 25% to 13.4 billion euros last year, and the company announced a plan to buy back as much as 1 billion euros of its own shares. Indeed, as Bloomberg notes, the hedge fund debacle "overshadowed a strong rebound at Allianz from the impact of the pandemic, with higher prices and an economic recovery fueling underlying earnings."

SAM276 USAF G5 KAF AC of interdast se back to JBA from Minneapolis Intl after about 9 hours on the ground

This is in the top 3 of high-level G5 ACs in the 99th Airlift squad, excepting the three super secret ones that are never seen, so that it is still over CONUS (when just about everything else is overseas) is pretty interdasting.
