* Arcanis_Ender 12/8/2025 comment: Swaps allow the parties to effectively hide their positions from the public. Bullet swaps were famously used by Bill Hwang to blow up his family office Archegos Capital via margin call as well as the counterparty involved--Credit Suisse. Those bags passed on to UBS who was forced by their government to absorb them and their toxic liabilities. The swiss government opted to HIDE (seal) the swap data regarding Credit Suisse collapse for 50 years as well. Swaps are very hard to trace by their nature, but they allow parties to have hidden short positions from their structure without actively impacting the Short Interest % of a stock. This keeps the cost to borrow low, just like when a market maker abuses their creation/redemption privileges on an ETF to artificially inflate supply of a stock that would otherwise have low liquidity.

* Long-Setting [11/1/2025 post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1olv8ox/memorandum_for_the_record_due_diligence_report_on/) - Snippet: A total return swap (TRS) is a derivative contract where one party (e.g., a hedge fund) receives the total economic performance (gains/losses, dividends) of a reference asset (e.g., $GME shares) from a counterparty (e.g., a bank), in exchange for periodic payments based on a fixed/variable rate. Unlike direct short sales, TRS allow synthetic exposure without borrowing shares, evading "locate" requirements and enabling indefinite position recycling.
