"This is a customized cash-settled forward contract on Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) stock structured as a spread bet. Forward Contract: At its base a forward is a binding agreement between two parties to buy/sell an asset at a predetermined future price on a specific date. Unlike futures (which are standardized and exchange-traded) this one is "non-standard" (Nstd) meaning it's over-the-counter (OTC) and tailoredpossibly negotiated privately between institutions or investors. Tied to BBBY Recovery: BBBY filed for bankruptcy in April 2023 its assets were sold (e.g. to Overstock which rebranded as"

"Reading into the strategy behind this it seems someone is nervous about having to buy shares in the market not a cash settlement so this doesn't have a trigger price it's priced at any recovery. A cash settlement would be a fixed value this would cover a stock that emerged under this SIN would be an unlimited risk so these would only close when the beneficiary is able to buy shares on the open market. I don't know who would take the other side of this bet with any sanity given the transfer of unlimited risk"

"But why Who Would Do This and Why The likely actors behind such a structure would be: Hedge funds needing synthetic exposures for shorting without triggering borrow disclosures Prime brokers facilitating structured financing deals Market makers or liquidity providers with access to internal modeling and who profit from synthetic flow Banks or offshore entities using the notional structure to engineer temporary balance sheet positions for collateral optimization In the worst case its a shell entity or captive counterparty used to generate fictitious exposures for fraudulent leverage window"

"This type of swapstructured as two non-standard equity forwards one on GameStop (GME) and one on Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY)raises immediate red flags particularly given the economic status of the underlying stocks: GameStop is a heavily shorted highly volatile stock often used in meme stock trading and options-based gamma squeezes. BBBY had its equity cancelled as part of its bankruptcy process meaning its shares are worthless on paper and ineligible for any corporate recovery. Given those conditions there is no ordinary economic rationale for creating a bilateral forward on both unless the"

Both instruments are classified under JESXSC denoting cash-settled equity forwards according to ISO 10962 standards. The short names providedNA/Fwd Nstd Sgle Stk and its abbreviated variantfurther confirm that these are non-standard forward contracts on individual equities. Each record defines the contract"
