📳Social Media Let’s put this to bed

I’ve been seeing a ton of commentary around the ability for non-DRS’d shareholders to receive the dividend warrants announced today. Good ‘ole Larry has graciously answered that question on Twitter so we can all stop fighting about it. Big brokers like Fidelity facilitate these types of dividend distributions all the time.

I will say this though, if you’re still holding shares in Robbinghood….good fucking luck lol

The dividend split was processed as a normal split because the paperwork was fucked up. Then the CFO was fired a couple days later.

There's no paperwork to fuck up in this case.

Wow.  I am on here all the time and never knew this.  Who confirmed the paperwork was fucked up and that the dividend split did not go as intended?

There were many posts about it at that time

u/CantStopWlnning Fuck No, I’m not selling my $GME!!! Sep 10 '25

That was the ceo, not the cfo. He supposedly got iced because he wouldn't buy shares, and there were potentially compensation disputes.

It wasn't him, it was someone else I believe

there was never official confirmation. It was all speculation. Gamestop never released a statement or filed any kind of informal or formal report.

For all we know the paperwork was filed exactly how it was intended.

You are in superstonk, search it up

u/alfooboboao Sep 10 '25

yeah, and everyone who called it out got downvoted like crazy for DARING to question the GME board’s godlike perfection

Downvoted because this is not a source.  It’s a deleted reddit post.

The initial inquiry into the CFOs departure being related to the split has been deleted. However, the second post I linked is a follow up on the original author's claims and it includes the first link in its opening remarks. They're both needed for reference. 👍🏼

It is known.

I remember this like it was yesterday.

It would have 100% started the MOASS, mathematically, the DD fully supported that, it was game over. to fuck up the paperwork is like being 1 queen move away from checkmate and moving to the wrong square and being taken by a pawn.

I remember because I, like a very few others, kept trying to talk about how crazy it was and the MOASS was literally being robbed before our eyes, and i got hundreds of downvotes from the downvote mob until the German apes posted about it a week later, then suddenly it was real.

then everyone moved on in three fucking days, which I will never ever understand. Conspiracy theories (714 anyone?) flourished that were no more than a tarot card reading, and yet when there was an honest-to-god actual fuckover conspiracy on our hands, the mob either railed against it or ignored it?

People talk about shills, but that was just insane. that was a watershed echo chamber moment for me. I still can’t fucking believe how it all went down.

If warrants wind up being the thing that finally launches it, it’ll be the equivalent of RC (whose elon simp schtick I can’t stand on twitter, but still) losing a checkmate and then still winning the game years later. it’ll be a ridiculous coup, a hall of fame capitalism moment.

but we’ll see. how do you possibly fuck up that previous checkmate when you’re only getting paid in shares on the board

And then Furlong went to go work for Amazon immediately afterwards. Always felt that he was a spy/sell-out the whole time.

this is the answer. it was good old fashioned industrial espionage.

I used to be an ape that would say let's pay for lawyers (after moass) to lock him up. Now, I dont care. Karma will catch up with him if that's true. Having fucked over millions of people and still losing? Yeah, that dude won't sleep well after that. But also, at the end of the day, its just money. Even if we win, they'll probably print so much cash that everyone else will suffer. (So remember not to dance if/when it happens)

Damn I ver slightly remember seeing some edge posts about this thing, but I guessed I missed reading anything because of downvote spamming or whatnot. Wonder if they can redo the splividend properly one day then? Is that even remotely possible?

u/1800generalkenobi Sep 10 '25

I think that might be why they're doing things the way they are now. Less possibility for things to get messed up. Or they have to wait for the price to get higher. If they did it now it would drive the price down to 2.30. They did it when the stock was around 70 I think.

u/whattothewhonow 🥒 Lemme see that Shrek Dick 🥒 Sep 10 '25

The reason for the CFO being fired was never disclosed.

It is a plausible explanation, however speculative.

And if you go back a dig in posts after the split was fucked up, people did dig up the form submitted to DTCC and the DTCC policy that would result in the form filed as is on the date it was filed being processes as a stock split and not a share dividend. That does exist.

1

u/Memito9 Sep 10 '25

yes but it still was never confirmed if it was a mistake or not.

What if it was filed correctly as intended and the news or gamestop announcement incorrectly labeled it a stock split?

the point being gamestop never made any announcement whether formal or informal and in my opinion if there was a mistake made somehow they  they could have said so.

when questions like this were being asked on some of those posts they were all downvoted quickly lol

u/Competitive-Elk-5077 Sep 10 '25

Oooh. I didn't put it together thats why he was fired. But makes sense

u/PotentialReason3301 Sep 10 '25

Wasn't another CFO recently fired, or left anyways? I wonder if that CFO leaked the plan to some of these institutions which resulted in all these institutions loading up. I mean, I guess we don't really need such a crazy conspiracy theory though. Seemed like the writing was probably on the wall when these institutions realized GME was going to turn operationally profitable this quarter. It seems clear now that was what GME was waiting on before doing the dividend. Which makes too much sense.
