RE: Veles International vs Alexei Churakov29 Jan 2021 17:04
Possibly but talk is it was .98% and this is probably not like IG this is probably a serious wealth manager. My shares are held by Jarvis with the masses but I am beneficial owner. They don't do a TR-1 or 8.3 or whatever but might if an individual bought 27m I guess or ask them to. It's possible at VI they do some brokering, some wealth management, some advice and maybe even investing on their own behalf or high net worth individuals.
I don't know or think that Veles are Alexei's broker they might just be an ii that was accumulating anyway or expressed interest so was contacted by the MMs or brokers to take the cash call for Alexei's broker, in the idea it would cause less disunity in the market, perhaps.
But my bigger worry would be state intervention in this whole saga so the fact Russian instis bought and we did talks for the state at exhibitions etc again makes me think, hmmm, yes, might be some wheels getting greased here, but not that it's bad overall and it's all going to go off smoothly. Also overall it just confirms that instis are buying in at a certain level like we all thought with the strange trading patterns and tight price range even after the dfs release.
