Citadel can use Chinese commercial paper and bonds as collateral. Once Evergrande is declared bankrupt and has a D status, the hedge funds can no longer use the Chinese paper and bonds as collateral. As a result, they are unable to meet multi-billion dollar margin requirements and must sell shares to cover margins or close short positions. In doing so, hedge funds must buy AMC/GME at any price. Even if the market collapses, AMC and GME shares will soar. Apes ... you are going to be filthy rich.
I wonder if the people saying this have a financial incentive to keep the hype high.

Right, so maybe I'm misreading this, but if the short positions are closed, aren't the margin requirements now gone?

At least with my hedging account, margin requirements have to be covered before the close of day. CBOT seats have been lost because of failure to cover.

I have a hard time believing NYSE will allow multi-month failure to maintain margin requirements.

So are they still trying to pedal the transitory narrative or have we given up on that.

Ken Griffin lied to Congress and is in for a world of hurt it appears. They haven't covered their short positions.

Seems to me that would still be a brokerage problem not an investor problem. I'm far from the authority on here, but ain't nobody trusting individual investors to follow the rules, that's why they come down hard on the brokerage houses.

At least that's the way it works in commodities.

I read that and there was several wonky assertions in there, but if they've found a way to actually do that shit... Man.

I can't wait for the Michael Lewis book about it.
