Sep 10: It's been a month since media mogul Jimmy Lai was arrested over national security law-related charges.⁣ ⁣ Supporters of the pro-democracy figure⁣ initially appeared to be behind Next Media's surging stocks, but a regulatory probe is now attributing the phenomenon ⁣to alleged stock manipulation.⁣ ⁣ Suspected of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering, 15 people aged 22 to 53 have so far been arrested. ⁣ ⁣ “It is very likely that some investors⁣ were attracted by the massive increase in trade volume, which is a false market situation presented by these culprits or arrested persons,” said Chung Wing-man, Chief Superintendent of the Narcotics Bureau.⁣ ⁣ On August 7th, the last trading day before Jimmy Lai's arrest, 1 million shares were traded at a price of $0.09 per share. ⁣ ⁣ In the next three trading sessions ending August 12th, the transaction volume skyrocketed to 7.1 billion shares -- an increase of more than 4,000%. Prices, too, surged from a historic low of $0.075 to $1.96, before plummeting sharply back to $0.65. The arrestees allegedly engaged in a total of 13,223 transactions, handling 1.69 billion shares accounting for nearly a quarter of all trades at the time. ⁣ ⁣ Profiting over $38 million off the manoeuvre, some of the arrested persons are said to have relied on WhatsApp and a "pump and dump" exercise to facilitate the intensive stock trading. ⁣ ⁣ “On a number of occasions, after they offered to sell their stock, and before the selling order could be executed in the market, they bought back the stocks immediately,” said Chung. ⁣ ⁣ Ricky Tam, who chairs the Hong Kong Institute of Investors, said reportings on stock manipulation usually require at least two to three years' worth of evidence.⁣ ⁣ But he warned that it is illegal for those without relative licences to use social media platforms to call for stock purchases.

#ChallengeAccepted. I appreciate the nom, and need your attention to understand this: It has been 136 days since the murder of #BreonnaTaylor. "The LMPD investigation was centered around 2 men suspected of selling drugs in a different residence, located more than 10 miles away from Breonna's apartment. Breonna's current partner, Kenneth Walker, had no felony charges at the time. Breonna had no criminal history and was an EMT. The cops were not in uniform. The LMPD said the officers had no body cams on despite being assigned them." (Forbes) "At the time of the intrusion, the suspect of the larger narcotics case, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at 12:40 a.m., the same time police entered the apartment complex." (Courier Journal) "As officers JONATHAN MATTINGLY, BRETT HANKINSON, and MYLES COSGROVE battered the door, Walker called 911 believing it was a burglary- not a drug raid. The police claimed to have identified themselves, Walker and multiple first hand witnesses present at the scene, such as neighbors, claim contrary. The officers were not in uniform. A licensed gun owner, Walker shot in self defense as the door open. Mattingly was hit in the leg once. In response the police shot 25 times which Breonna Taylor was shot 8 times. Walker did not restrain arrest when the intruders were identified as police. No drugs were found in the apartment." I challenge 50 of you to hit up one of the awesome females in your life to post a picture of Breonna Taylor and encourage all their followers to contact Kentucky Attorney General #DanielCameron and URGE them to arrest officers JONATHAN MATTINGLY, BRETT HANKINSON, and MYLES COSGROVE. Everyone seeing this can do so by clicking the link in my bio the Attorney's contact. Breonna has over 10 million signatures on her change.org petition and NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. We need to keep saying her name. Say it with me.
