This is a story for Hollywood. I cannot capture everything here in part 1, but I believe that this series of pieces will blow up the internet. Or get 50 views. Could go either way today. This story has everything you can imagine for a financial movie. Hundreds of billions of dollars with a silver short at stake, banking cabal chicanery, villainy, a rise and fall of a group of hardened silver stackers, deceit, treachery, violence, fraud – mixed in with heroes and blue collar stackers. Trying to sort all of this out may be a book someday I’d like to do with one of my accomplished author friends – as my first hand account of being smack in the middle of this gives me a great seat to be the narrator of this amazing story. If I was writing a book, I could build the setup for 13 chapters. If I was writing a Hollywood movie, I think I’d need some sort of heist with guns in the first scene. Instead, let’s lead off with a paragraph of the setup. I’d like to then detail out some of the characters, and then bring you up to speed with where the fuck this has taken a wrong turn around January 2023.

This will be several blogs in a series, as I have shit to do and a career, but I can’t possibly make this a single blog post.

Mark my words, movies will be made about this.

The setup:

I’m not a journalist, or a reporter, or a novelist – I’m a hobbyist blogger that writes about a million different interests. I got involved with silver as a small child from my parents, but it took a hiatus until the repo market broke September 16th 2019 (this would be a great side cut out for a Wolf of Wall Street Margo Robbie bath tub scene to explain what the repo market is, and why the F people like me went Defcon 1 and still are). Towards the end of 2019, I found Mike Maloney’s “Hidden Secrets of Wealth Story” (to be played by David Caruso) who had a 4 hour, 10 part series on what money is, where it came from, and EDUCATING the rube like me on what the difference is with MONEY and CURRENCY. Shortly thereafter, I had stumbled across Chris Marcus’ Arcadia economics (where I’m now a part time contributor) and with this – bought the book “The Silver Short” he did, which at the time was a bunch of audio file interviews cobbled together. This built up a narrative to me and others, that a 1980-like move to $50 silver was perhaps imminent.

There were many other factors at play at the time, but if you fast forward about a year, a movement called “Silver Squeeze” erupted, at precisely the EXACT same time I wrote an article about how Eric Sprott is going to be the world’s richest man – as he owns tons of silver mines. On a Saturday (we need the exact dates for the movie, but I recall last weekend or so in January 2021) a “raid” called the “Silver Squeeze” was put into place where everyone in a Reddit group called “Wall Street Silver” were going to buy silver from dealers all over the world. At the time I joined this group, it was about 10,000 people. I had never used Reddit before.

My article blew up after a bunch of Twitter people had picked up my article and next thing you know, this article had maybe 65,000 views on my blog, but it was also re-published on many other sites. My email blew up with TV news and YouTube creators wanting me to do an interview with them. I had ONLY joined Twitter a month before, and had like maybe 100 followers – as I stated – I was a hobbyist blogger. I had no idea how to use Twitter, Reddit, and I had never heard the term “DD” (due diligence) before. I was like, “I don’t want to be on camera. I have a real career”. I’ll discuss an overview of my career in future posts – which led to me eventually getting doxxed by one of the villains of the story and with this – laid the foundation for another character in the movie that I cannot discuss at this moment for legal reasons.

So I eventually did an interview on Palisades Radio – I had no business doing it, and I had expressed my concerns to Tom Bodrovics (Tom, what do you think – Jason Statham for you?) – who to me is one of the heroes of the story I’ll cover much later. Tom assured me all will be well, and we had a lot of fun doing it. To me, I was like, WTF should I be doing here? There are a lot of industry pros that Tom and others interview up and down, but there’s always places for newer folks that are writers, analysts, and can bring fresh angles on things. There’s no “gold and silver” major in college, and none of my MBA classes ever discussed either – so this industry up and down is filled with a lot of good, decent, honest people as well as people who come from shadier backgrounds meaning to take advantage of others. Yep, another angle for the movie. Fraud!!

With the “squeeze” the price went from like $28 to $30 Sunday evening of that weekend, after dealers around the world were cleaned out and rushed to buy more as I believe they ordered a lot more to backfill. On that Monday, my portfolio was up like 25%. The next day, at 5AM, a silver hit piece came out and somehow, mysteriously, the portfolio later dropped that amount it went up the very next day. But – prices building up to the “squeeze” had been elevated. I made a 5x on some mining stock options, and many of us were out of our minds excited.

With this, I was contacted by folks at WallStreetSilver for a “AMA” – which I had no idea what it was. I said sure, and told me to join the chat at 8PM. Remember, I had never been on Reddit before. I joined, and went into the chat at 8PM with like 30 people there. I’m like, “I’m here for an AMA” and no one had any clue who I was or why I was there. I had later tried to contact this person and didn’t get any response. I found it was odd. I was sort of “ghosted”. The next day or so is when I did the Palisades interview if I recall correctly.

I then spent time over the next few weeks writing more blog posts and “DDs” which I posted on WallStreet Silver. I had also then become aware of some others – The Happy Hawaiian, and later “Ditch the Deep State” or “Ditch”. Many of us wrote a lot of DD and got thousands of views, tweets, etc. We were, at the best of my understanding, D- list celebs with our 15 minutes of pseudo fame. It was ok, I was having fun with it.

A few weeks later, I had seen a weird WallStreetSilver YouTube video where one of the women was trashing another, and spoke of a split of WallStreetSilver – where there were different “camps”. There was hostility amongst this group, power control, people knocking each other off of the reddits, stealing passwords, dummy accounts – lawsuits over branding, and rights, etc.

Ho Lee Shit this started to get nuts with the drama. I stayed out of all of this and played Switzerland. It was maybe around this time this group then decided to do billboards for silver awareness around the country. The pitch was, that monies would be donated into the GoFundMe, and with this, contributors would be assured there was a record of accounting, and all dollars would be accounted for. I donated I believe $600, as my belief with this, is that if this could be successful, it could drive a lot more users to WallStreetSilver and with this, put a LOT more buying pressure on bullion, ETFs, and even the miners. I was ASS deep in investments with this – as these were hedges against my real estate. If my real estate went south, like in the “Big Short” – then my silver/gold investments would go vertical.

No one has ever seen the ledger. The cast of character will be revealed later. And, some of this involves criminal convictions of some – and ALLEGATIONS of fraud and the like against others. I will be EXTREMELY careful with this. As in, I can report on ALLEGATIONs that have been made. I can report on public records of criminal convictions. I will tread CAREFULLY to not make character smears, and I want to extend a great amount of effort to defining some of the characters for this movement, as I feel some people lately have lumped all of these people into one shitball pile, and with this, people who I know that are upstanding, good, decent, honest people are getting confused and conflated with others. Like – the people are polar opposites, but share a name and a business interest in common, and with this, I believe a lot of people on the outside looking in – have no idea what is going on but are being told to hate on certain individuals – and the “why” is a convoluted telephone game of WTF.

This story I also have has severe mental illness, severe alcoholism that led to rampages, death threats, and more.

Maybe this does get to a book after all.

Conclusion of setup

Here I have to pause, as I’m off to a Phillies game today with my oldest. With this, I wanted to tease a much greater story than any of you can comprehend. For those involved, in all cases, I will paint you in the best possible light. As far as I know, at this second, many of these individual parties have lawyers lined up to shoot each other over control of WallStreetSilver reddit – which was recently made public knowledge on Twitter and in the reddits. Companies that are involved with this, in all cases will remain nameless and only spoken of in context of the subject, and not by any specific names. This will be presented through the eyes of someone looking at this on Twitter, and coming in at chapter 67 of the book and needing to understand the first 66 chapters. EVEN those in this with the most despicable records I will find ways to find your upside and be balanced with this as an objective writer. What Hollywood does down the road when they change names, blend characters, and embellish is up to them.

I believe in Part 2, I will get more into what I believe the big issue here is – is that somehow, some way, characters were able to not only solicit what we estimate to be millions of dollars from sponsors, but somehow got Elon Musk to follow them on Twitter and comment on their content regularly.

I’m telling you. This shit is going to Hollywood. I believe part 3 will start some of the cast of characters.

Side note for some of you reading this who are worried. I will not divulge anything you told me in confidence, and anything related to anyone in any legal capacity will mostly all be off limits to (except what is made public at the time of writing). Any correspondence I have had with anyone related to any of this, will be at the highest levels of discretion to hide any and all identities, confidential information, etc. One thing of interest here – is NOW I get to put on my journalist hat, and with this, I cannot be compelled to provide ANY of my sources or correspondence to any courts, ever. So – anyone nervous, I want to tell a compelling story here, and there will be nothing factually untrue. Furthermore, I will use the word “alleged” copious amounts of times as to protect those innocent until proven guilty – and I also want to try and NOT convict someone in the court of public opinion. However, those already convicted at the time of this writing I am permitted to share arrest records and court documents as evidence.
