A search of Bloomberg however revealed that Citadel not only have failed to cover the short positions from January, but those have actually grown exponentially.
Citadel can use Chinese commercial paper and bonds as collateral. Once Evergrande is declared bankrupt and has a D status, the hedge funds can no longer use the Chinese paper and bonds as collateral. As a result, they are unable to meet multi-billion dollar margin requirements and must sell shares to cover margins or close short positions. In doing so, hedge funds must buy AMC/GME at any price. Even if the market collapses, AMC and GME shares will soar. Apes ... you are going to be filthy rich.

I wonder if the people saying this have a financial incentive to keep the hype high.
