The Decode
In 2021, Ryan Cohen couldn't tell apes directly. So he spelled it out in the most cryptic way possible.
Cone. Poo. Chair.
Separate tweets. Ice cream cone. Poop emoji. Chairman in a chair. Apes connected the dots:
Cone-Poo-Chair = Computershare
The message was clear: Direct Register your shares. Pull them out of the DTCC so they can't be lent to short sellers. Lock the float. Remove the ammo. DRS is the way.
What is Computershare?
Computershare is GameStop's official transfer agent — the company you use to Direct Register your shares (DRS).
What is DRS?
DRS = Direct Registration System. When you DRS, you register shares in your own name instead of holding them in "street name" at a broker.
Why apes DRS:
When you buy GME at a broker (Robinhood, Fidelity, etc.), those shares sit with the DTCC (central clearing system). Brokers can lend them out to short sellers. You're a beneficiary, not the registered owner.
When you DRS your shares through Computershare, they're pulled out of the DTCC entirely and registered directly in your name. They can't be lent to shorts. They're locked.
The Purple Circle
Every time an ape DRSs their shares, Computershare shows a purple circle logo in their account. Apes screenshot it and post it as proof. The purple circle = proof you locked the float.
The Goal: If apes DRS the entire float (all outstanding shares), it proves naked shorting and removes ammo from short sellers. Lock the float. Break the system. MOASS.
Since 2021, millions of GME shares have been DRS'd. Apes are still doing it in 2026. DRS is the way.
