I'm pretty sure that they weren't planning for it to happen, although it feels like they have safeguards toward everything. Perhaps this was their Achilles' heel?

From what I hear, the hedge fund guys were openly talking about what they were doing on Twitter. Naked short sales are supposed to be illegal, but they've been doing it for so long that they just didn't care about getting caught.

Of course they were caught with their pants down. thing about stocks is most people do not understand and/or dont care about the market. Combine that with the ability to make anyone who gives you a hard time rich. you just tell them what to do. no money changes hand. bribes are paid. and combine that with a business that no longer has a profitable business model. if anyone questions/implies/accuses anything they just have to point to blockbuster, vonage, blackberry. the whole point is to gamble on a loss. watch the news these people are not self aware. they are saying the stupidest things on live tv. this is the problem with the trophy generation. they never had to lose anything. they lose the rules get changed. its what happened in the election. they were so panicked they didn't care who saw it. better to ask forgiveness than permission is what they ran with.

Sure, because the little people have never worked together to bring down the titans. The only ones they had to worry about were other titans who wanted revenge.

Well I believe the IMF, Rothschilds and Chyna are willing to let these hedge funds go to speed up the “great reset”. Watch. System collapses only the elite will be able to travel and us peasant will just live and work where we are.
