Stand together. AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY arrives in AMC Theatres 12/18 - save your seat now! amc.film/4kfmlt5
MattC - Ducking - Warbucks retweeted
Over the last
two months, AMC has stopped ticket scalpers on some 2,500 AMC movie theatre tickets!
Greedy malevolent speculators were trying to jack up prices above face to potential AMC guests.
I am proud of our team for standing up tall to defend AMC’s moviegoing public.

🚨 WHAT THE HELL, ROBINHOOD?! 🚨
Robinhood is creating digital tokens that track AMC's stock price, claiming they're backed 1-for-1 by real shares.
But here's the damn problem!
❌ NO ACTUAL SHARE OWNERSHIP!
❌ NO VOTING RIGHTS!
❌ NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS!
YOU'RE BUYING A DAMN PRICE COPY, NOT AMC STOCK!
🚨 AMC DID NOT CONSENT!
🔥 Im 100% With Adam Aron!
ENOUGH OF THE DAMN GAMES!
Robinhood doesn't get to make up it's own rules!!!
🔥 NO EXCUSES. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. SAME LAWS, SAME RULES, SAME CONSEQUENCES! 🦍🔥
I am not going away @vladtenev @DanGallagher
AMC Entertainment does not consent to Robinhood creating Stock Tokens to replicate AMC shares in the United States (the SEC requires you to get our consent, or failing that, at least with us to stand down). They are fake, synthetic shares, which could impact our capital structure.
AMC should control our financial destiny, not Robinhood.

This weekend Netflix’s new movie La Bola Negra gets a theatrical release at AMC. It won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, and highly likely will be in Oscar contention.
It’s one of four Netflix films coming to AMC between now and year-end.
We are so pleased to showcase to you all the creativity and mastery of Netflix in our theatres.

Hello again @vladtenev and @DanGallagher. So what’s Robinhood’s answer?
You claim to “support” the SEC’s new rules on Stock Tokenization efforts, as they apply in the United States.
Internationally, are you going to respect those same principals as laid out be the SEC?
Or shame, shame, shame, will your off-shore operation in far-off Jersey be a sleazy bastardization that makes a total mockery of what the SEC has demanded as being the right thing to do?
MattC - Ducking - Warbucks retweeted
Hey there @vladtenev and @DanGallagher: My voice will stay loud. You supported the SEC on U.S. stock tokens. They must carry voting rights, and companies can opt out. How hypocritical of Robinhood if not adopting those same principals offshore. Don’t spit in the face of the SEC.

🚨 HISTORY JUST GOT MADE. 🍿🎬
Q3 2026 crossed $3 BILLION at the box office.
And damn, I’m proud.
For years we heard...
“Theaters are dead.”
“Streaming killed the big screen.”
Turns out, people still LOVE going to the theaters.
The numbers don’t lie. People are showing up, buying tickets and proving the big screen isn’t going anywhere.
I freaking LOVE the movies. ❤️🎬
History made. Records broken.
Now let’s go break some more. 🍿🔥

In my crosshairs as much as Robinhood’s shameful Stock Tokens and the trademark- infringing meme coins that they trade: dreaded TICKET SCALPERS.
So far, we have reclaimed more than 1,600 AMC tickets from resale sites posted there.
Scalpers beware, AMC is coming after you.

My issue is simple: AMC shareholders have every right to be angry and demand answers.
Robinhood says its AMC Stock Tokens are backed 1:1. Fine. Then prove it. The token itself is not an AMC share. Token holders don't directly own AMC stock and don't receive the normal rights of AMC shareholders. AMC also did not create, authorize, or endorse this product.
So where are the receipts?
Who holds the underlying AMC shares? How many shares are actually held compared with the number of tokens outstanding? Who independently verifies that 1:1 backing, and can investors see that verification?
And I want to know why AMC. Why create a financial product using AMC's name and ticker without AMC's involvement? What other publicly traded theater chains received the same treatment, and why or why not?
That's why AMC investors are angry. We're not asking for rumors or promises. We're asking for transparency and independently verifiable facts.
If it's truly backed 1:1, show us. It shouldn't be controversial to ask for the receipts.

The SEC’s “Tokenized Stock” Plan Is Financial Innovation Theater. And We Should All Be Alarmed.
The SEC’s imminent “innovation exemption” for tokenized stocks may be the most reckless regulatory gamble in a generation. And that is saying something.
Here’s the SEC’s scheme: Third parties — with no authorization from the underlying companies — can create tokens that track the price of any public stock, trade them on largely unregulated DeFi platforms and call it financial innovation. No issuer consent required. No firm guarantee of voting rights. No dividends. Just a digital wrapper around a stock you don’t actually own.
In other words: NFTs for equities (and we all know how brilliantly that worked out for investors). The problems are structural and severe:
1. Market Fragmentation. As Brett Redfearn of Securitize (himself a proponent of tokenization) warned: “If third parties can tokenize Apple or Amazon without the issuer at the table, there’s no theoretical limit on how many wrappers of the same company exist at once.” This could leave investors uncertain what their shares are actually worth at any moment. Securities markets will fragment and become disorderly, information asymmetries and conflicts of interest will arise and investors will suffer, thereby eroding trust in the global financial marketplace.
2. Gutting Investor Protections. The sandbox-style approach creates competitive imbalances, weakens safeguards around custody and AML compliance, and facilitates market fragmentation — while siphoning liquidity away from US markets and creating opaque, dark pools of finance.
3. DeFi’s Dismal Track Record. The November 2025 collapse of Stream Finance’s so-called DeFi protocol illustrates how the absence of basic investor-protection and market-integrity safeguards can rapidly magnify losses and spread contagion — a single failure point propagating rapidly across a fragmented ecosystem.
Chairman Atkins promised a “new day” at the SEC. Apparently this means dismantling 90 years of market structure to run a DeFi experiment on the backbone of ordinary Americans — with no public notice/comment, and cheered on mainly by the same crypto ecosystem that brought us FTX, Terra-Luna and an endless parade of rug pulls.
US equity markets are the deepest, most liquid, most trusted in the world. That didn’t happen by accident. It was built through decades of hard-won regulatory frameworks. You don’t “innovate” your way out of fraud protections and price transparency.
The Stark reality is that, despite his bold promises, Atkins is not ushering in a 4th Industrial Revolution — he is gleefully enabling a cyberpunk financial dystopia. It’s deregulation masquerading as innovation. And retail investors will pay the price.
Chairman Atkins has forgotten that the SEC’s mandate is investor protection. Could someone please remind him before we all crash and burn?
In addition to these couple shown — Donald Danks’s Sept. 14, 2026 securities-fraud conviction tied to Nasdaq-listed Loop Industries, and the Sept. 15, 2026 charges against Robinhood engineers Hefu Chai and Huaisong Xiang for allegedly trading on confidential listing information — U.S. authorities have announced a number of other securities, commodities, and investment-fraud cases in recent weeks and months. gazettengr.com
Here are some of the more notable recent examples:
Very recent (early–mid September 2026)
• Ilit Raz (Joonko Diversity): The founder/former CEO of an AI recruiting startup pleaded guilty on Sept. 14, 2026, to securities fraud. Prosecutors said she misled venture investors about customers and revenue while raising about $27 million; the company later went bankrupt. A parallel SEC case is also pending. investmentexecutive.com
• William Sarris / Joseph Endoso (Linqto pre-IPO platform): On Sept. 1–2, 2026, SDNY charged Sarris (founder) with securities fraud and related counts in an alleged $450 million scheme involving hidden markups on pre-IPO shares sold to more than 13,000 customers. Endoso, a former top executive, pleaded guilty. The platform later collapsed into bankruptcy. justice.gov
• Mark Hanf and Nam Phan (Pacific Private Money): Charged Sept. 1, 2026, in Northern California with wire-fraud conspiracy (Hanf also money laundering) in an alleged multi-year scheme that raised about $103 million from 175+ investors in a real-estate fund that later filed for bankruptcy. The SEC filed a parallel civil action. justice.gov
• Matthew Shane Perkins: Sentenced Sept. 2–3, 2026, in Utah to 15 years in prison for wire fraud after posing as a highly successful stock trader and taking in at least $89 million from ~200 investors; most of the money was lost in day trading or misappropriated, with ~$77 million in victim losses. justice.gov
• Jihoon Park: A federal jury in Virginia convicted him Sept. 8, 2026, of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud in a scheme in which he took more than $2.5 million from investors he promised high-yield returns, then hid assets (including crypto) in bankruptcy. justice.gov
Slightly earlier 2026 cases of similar type
• Joshua Allen and Michael Cox (Ferrum Capital): A federal jury in Texas convicted them Aug. 18–19, 2026, of securities fraud and related conspiracy counts in a multimillion-dollar investment-fraud scheme that solicited tens of millions from hundreds of investors. ssb.texas.gov
• Paul Jorgensen (former Doximity CRO): Already sentenced in May 2026 to 26 months for insider trading in the company’s stock/options ahead of earnings. In mid-September 2026 the SEC obtained a related civil judgment requiring additional payments and an officer-and-director bar. justice.gov
• Andrew Left: Convicted in June 2026 of securities fraud in a $21 million stock-market manipulation scheme; he was an activist short seller who allegedly used false claims of independence. justice.gov
• Other 2026 insider-trading or market-manipulation matters include a four-person insider-trading ring sentenced in June (profits >$600k), a broker-and-traders insider-trading guilty-plea group in EDNY (profits >$1 million), and a California trader who pleaded guilty in June to a $1.3 million securities-spoofing scheme. justice.gov
