“Puck X! So did you catch that rat that moved before us?”
Quite harsh voice.
That voice echoed through the meeting room.
A few days ago, after peaking at $197, the stock price of [Rumble Technology] is currently trending sideways at $180.
In addition to charts for each section of the stock price of this stock, charts of call options and full options are displayed here and there.
Leaving behind such a large screen, a man in his mid-thirties was shouting with a sharp voice exuding a cold energy.
“From [Share Energy Inc] to [Rumble], we’re idiots right now. I can’t even say it. It’s not on the South American fund side, and it’s not on the large hedge fund side. Malcolm! Did something happen inside us?”
Sitting in front of a white laptop on the right side of the conference room, the man who was tapping the keyboard quickly raised his head.
He has curly hair and wears glasses.
At this point, he tapped again quickly on the keyboard and was rapidly playing another slide on the large screen.
“boss. I just got an email from Terry.”
“Terry? Terry Elliot? SEC?”
“yes! boss. Wait.”
Then, the man with curly hair lifted up the glasses frame, and soon after, several screenshots and picture files were launched simultaneously, filling the large screen here and there.
Several men and women gathered in a conference room.
Everyone shows curiosity, but soon their eyes are sharpening.
At this time, Malcolm’s report was beginning.
“The marked part on this side is a list of accounts that sold intensively on the day, and this part is a list of accounts with abnormally increased profits on the day. First, the two situations were compared and compressed into approximately 12,736 accounts. In addition, as a result of re-extracting by entering the minimum and maximum range of option profit values for the day, a total of 248 could be compressed. In addition, as a result of re-extracting by entering the minimum and maximum ranges of the appropriate time range, we were able to reduce it to 58 accounts again.”
“therefore?”
“This is the result of a detailed analysis taking into account the possibility of money laundering, especially in the process of option futures trading, in which funds are rotated from one account to multiple accounts. Accounts with similarities were consolidated and tracked in one category. As a result, we were able to narrow it down to a total of 26 locations.”
After explaining that far, Malcolm laughed.
“As you know, this is illegal material. It should never be made public, and those present here must remain silent about this.”
Director Gary Grubbs then turned his head.
He glanced at the team members sitting in the conference room with sharp eyes.
Then he looked at Malcolm and shouted sternly.
“Malcolm! Never Mind! we are a team So what are the results?”
At that, Malcolm nodded in agreement.
Probably none of them will be able to bring any charges against them in this case.
Each individual earns from a minimum of millions of dollars to a maximum of tens of millions of dollars each year, after all, isn’t it because of the outstanding ability of director Gary Grubbs?
“Then let’s take a look at this. The major IB banks and Wall Street investors included in the suspicious list were separately classified, and for this side, previous transaction histories were extracted and closely matched, but fortunately, no clear suspicions were found.”
“Then what about the other suspicious accounts?”
Director Gary Grubbs’ voice rose again.
“These are the last suspect accounts.”
At the same time, other screenshot picture files appeared on the large screen.
“A total of 13 places. And these are the names of the owners of the 13 accounts.”
Soon after, the Excel file was opened, and the names of each owner of a total of 13 accounts were appearing.
perfect tort.
However, director Gary Grubbs and others did not dwell on such things and looked at the list with great concentration.
“Malcolm! Anything special here?”
Meanwhile, Director Gary Grubbs’ eyes were turbulent like the eve of a storm.
“Most of them are US residents, but only three are overseas residents. Zurich, Switzerland, Paris, France, and Seoul, Korea, appeared like this.”
“Then who are you?”
Director Gary Grubbs’ voice is getting louder again.
Meanwhile, Malcolm, the curly-haired man, calmly opened his mouth again, his eyes twinkling.
“Among these accounts, there are three in total, anyway.”
“Three?”
“yes! What is particularly striking is that the trading patterns of these three accounts are largely similar. Terry and I constantly had doubts about whether the owners of these three accounts were the same person. Fortunately, an email came from [Terrahill] a while ago, and as a result of comparing the personal information confirmed through hacking of each government site, nothing in common has been found so far. but···.”
“but? what? Malcolm! Tell me quickly!”
“yes! boss! So, we have secured the IPs and addresses of the two suspected actors, but the other one is somewhat ambiguous.”
“Ambiguous?”
“yes. He is a resident of Switzerland. However, as a result of information inquiry through Swiss government agency data hacking, it is classified as missing. In other words, it appears to be a forged account.”
“Hmm.”
“As a result, the possibility that some kind of force intervened cannot be ignored.”
For a moment, Gary Grubbs put his hand on his forehead and thought for a moment.
In fact, digging through these illegal sources yields all sorts of oddities. Unknown forces moving like shadows. However, very bizarre groups or individuals who are always reaping huge profits.
“Then what about the other two?”
“ah! Fortunately, the identity was identified. French Jean Richard. And the other one is Korean…”
However, at this time, the English name was so unfamiliar that Malcolm hesitated because he could not pronounce it right away.
However, he frowned and barely finished his speech.
“I am Huiujun Choi.”
#
The personal details of the two people thus revealed.
And for a while, there was silence.
At this time, Director Gary Grubbs is thinking about something for a while.
In the meantime, his eyes were changing several times.
“So, French and Korean?”
“…”
“Malcolm! I’d rather go to the FBI…”
Immediately, however, Malcolm rebelled.
“boss! Isn’t that dangerous for us too?”
In the end, director Gary Grubbs frowned again.
If the state proceeds with the accusation of manipulation, the arrow may eventually come back to them.
In other words, it may be revealed to the world that [Golden Invesco MRC Fund] is not irrelevant to this work.
Director Gary Grubbs closed his eyes for a moment.
Eventually, he clenched his fists and bang! I hit the desk with a loud noise.
“Malcolm! Then how?”
“boss. If the French side entrusts the team leader Victor Anderson in the Paris branch, the investigation can be carried out in secret.”
yes, it’s smart too
Malcolm is a genius like himself.
“Then what about Korea?”
“This is… Boss! Actually, it’s separate from this, but I have a way to ask Director Rick Peters.”
“What? to Rick?”
“As you may know, Director Peters is about to visit Korea in connection with the acquisition of a Korean steel company. If you hurry up and ask for this matter…”
But director Gary Grubbs immediately exclaimed coldly.
“I can’t trust Rick!”
Then Malcolm softly touched the frame of his glasses and closed his mouth.
Director Gary Grubbs, bloodline of Chairman Larry Grubbs.
It couldn’t be helped because one of the people he hated the most was Rick Peters, director of M&A investments anyway.
Nonetheless, if director Rick Peters is not hurriedly asked to do this, it is practically impossible to confirm any further information.
Isn’t this something that can’t be reported to the investigative agency?
“So, going back, what is the final damage? Not actual damage, but damage based on projected profits.”
“Oh, that’s just a moment.”
Malcolm puts something on the screen again.
Then he opened his mouth.
“As you can see, the analysis results! When you add up all the recent projects, I think it will be around $5 billion.”
That’s a lot of money indeed.
If the projects from Gary Grubbs’ genius head went smoothly, that $5 billion would have been Gary Grubbs’ performance.
Of course, even if he had to hide some erratic money flows, at least director Gary Grubbs would have quickly become Wall Street’s most famous person.
As such a great genius who will carry on the legend of the Quantum Fund that attacked Britain in the past.
“Then what is our profit so far?”
“It’s about a billion dollars.”
In other words, despite the appearance of such detractors, director Gary Grubbs ended up making a net profit of $1 billion.
Actually, this alone is not a big deal.
But the problem was elsewhere.
Because stocks must hide price-manipulation allegations, that’s why they can’t disclose all of their billion-dollar net earnings.
In particular, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has very powerful powers in the direction of investment monitoring.
This is a place that has very powerful powers such as seizure and search, inquiry of communication information, summoning witnesses, requesting data submission, and punishment.
So, Grubbs’ official return on investment will be announced at only about $200 million.
It is reduced to one-fifth of the real profit.

“Malcolm!”
“yes! boss!”
“You’re well aware that Director Rick Peters is in Christopher’s VP line, right?”
“yes! boss.”
“As I always said, we must catch the rat with our own hands. Malcolm! When did director Rick Peters say he was visiting Korea?”
“Boss, wait a minute.”
Quickly tapping the laptop keyboard again, Malcolm immediately raised his head and answered.
“It is scheduled for next week.”
“next week?”
“yes!”
But the schedule is too tight.
In fact, I didn’t know he was going to Korea so soon because I didn’t pay much attention to Director Rick Peters’ visit to Korea.
“I can’t. Whatever the case, make a reason. So that I can accompany Director Rick Peters. And make sure to reserve your flight and hotel separately!”
Director Gary Grubbs, who gave such instructions, jumped up from his seat.
His thick eyebrows wriggled and he quickly left the conference room.
It is because there are so many things to prepare before a visit to Korea is confirmed.
In other words, it was because it was necessary to give individual instructions for various investment tasks in advance before going to Korea.

Saturday morning, April 20, 2019.
On the other hand, Hyeon-joon woke up around 6:00 in the morning.
In fact, I had received a KakaoTalk message from her that she couldn’t come out for jogging this morning.
Hyeonjun woke up a little later.
However, immediately after that, Hyun-joon called Yohan and received detailed reports about the option investment practice the team members conducted all night.
