2022 negative DRS counts get overlooked sometimes. Where the DRS count going negative during a quarter is somewhat hidden.
Between 4/30/2022 and 5/26/2022 the DRS count went -3,783,592 shares
Somewhat hidden as it is an unofficial SEC filing DRS count. It was the first visit to GameStop HQ to view the list of stockholders.
Sometime Aug/Sep/Oct 2022 DRS count went -700,012 shares
Somewhat hidden as the positive offset was due to whale #1. Whale #1 prevented the DRS count going negative when their 1.2 million DRS completed mid-August 2022.

Tinfoil thoughts as we do not have access to see daily changes in the list of stockholders, otherwise we could see if some accounts are draining on certain days.
Tinfoil - forces inflate DRS shares 9 to 18 months back, then drain their DRS shares later. Probably spread across say 3,000 accounts to make it seem like normal activity.
Tinfoil - operational efficiency draining from DRS non-Book shares on certain dates.
