Ken and Doug in their suits so fine, Played a game behind the line. Citadel, Virtu, and MEMX, With the largest brokers, they all flex.

Trading shares that don’t exist, In shadows where they twist and twist. They sell the GameStop they never hold, And steal from the retail, bold and cold.

"Fail-to-deliver!" the cry goes out, But the market makers have their route. With loopholes big and rules so loose, They create more shares for their own use.

Counterfeit stocks, as real as can be, Flood the market, wild and free. Billions are taken in this shady dance, While the retail investors have little chance.

So hear this tale, and take great care, For not all trades are true and fair. In the world of markets, dark and deep, The wolves in suits will always creep.
