2016 SEC investigation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Cooperman

On September 21, 2016, Cooperman was charged with insider trading by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He denied the charges. Cooperman faced criminal charges in a related parallel proceeding and has asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before a SEC hearing. In May 2017 Cooperman's firm agreed to a $4.9 million settlement with the SEC. As part of the agreement, Omega Advisers admitted no wrongdoing. As part of the settlement, Cooperman and Omega agreed to ongoing compliance monitoring until 2022. The monitoring includes being subject to an onsite compliance monitor with access to their electronic communications and trading records. In addition, Cooperman and Omega must submit monthly certifications that they were not aware of material nonpublic information prior to any securities trades.

The "volatility" as they call it was not "sparked" by reddit users. It was caused by the short sellers.

The reddit users and others just bought Gamestop stock and sat on it, refused to sell whatever the price, encouraged others to do likewise. Their whole thing was pointing out that the short sellers made a time bomb for themselves.

The blame belongs on the heads of wall street big shots who shorted something like 140% of the entire outstanding shares of that company, not random internet people.

Grifter from the Tax Dodger Division of Goldmine Sacked never worked a day in his life.

It’s his greatest fear, work.
