It's version 2 of the weird conspiracy theory thing that was linked to an SEC consultation - I haven't compared it all, but they added a picture of an iceberg, so that's nice.
There seem to be two things going on:
- a lot of very motivated reasoning, apparently based on the belief that share prices going down is a bad thing done to harm companies. Presumably no company has ever been overvalued, and no investor wants to know that their money could more usefully be invested elsewhere.
- the continual (and frequently italicized) use of the word counterfeit to make things sound scary, in almost exactly the same way as fractional reserve banking is criticized for creating money out of thin air.
Having said that, there's also a decent section on genuinely dodgy short attacks. It's undermined a bit by all the emotive crap, but otherwise OK. Unfortunately it makes no effort to distinguish between these and simply shorting a company you think is overvalued (and I'm not offering any opinion on which of those better describes GME).
