    @Jaycosmonaut11 @PhantomBlack699 @IBKR *Subject:** Urgent: Misclassification and Cost Basis of GME Warrants (GME WS) Dear IBKR Support, I am writing regarding the GME warrant dividend (ticker: GME WS) issued on October 7, 2025, with a $32 strike and October 30, 2026 expiration. This instrument was distributed as a corporate action, yet your platform has assigned it a non-zero cost basis and flagged it with “NT” status. This raises serious concerns: 1. **Why is a cost basis assigned at all?** These warrants were issued as a dividend — not purchased. The basis should be zero unless allocated from the underlying GME shares, which your system does not reflect. 2. **Is this instrument properly backed by the underlying shares?** The “NT” classification and lack of tradability suggest it may have been synthetically created due to inventory shortages. If so, that needs to be disclosed. 3. **Is this warrant real, tradable, and fully settled?** I expect confirmation that this is the legitimate NYSE-listed `GME WS` instrument and not a placeholder or synthetic proxy. If IBKR did not have the underlying shares available to fulfill the dividend, and instead created a derivative placeholder, that would be a serious misrepresentation of the asset. I need a clear explanation of how this instrument was sourced, valued, and whether it will be tradable on open markets. Please respond with full transparency. I expect this to be corrected or clarified immediately. Regards,

    After @IBKR issued their own calls instead of $GME warrants to investors holding $GME shares, I fear that it may be exposed to unacceptable risk, due to $GME short positions and wish to move my account to another broker providing a service to non US residents. Who can you recommend.

  • ethics3606 Ethics (@ethics3606) reported

    Keep getting these silly warnings from @IBKR on the smallest changes for a 30x levered fx position. Equity barely touched. Following violation(s) have been detected for you account U********: - Excess Liquidity: ALERT: Your account, while currently margin compliant, maintains qualifying equity (i.e., Equity with Loan Value) with a Margin Cushion level less than 10% above that which is required. Please note that we do not issue margin calls. If the current Margin Cushion erodes and your account is no longer margin compliant, it will be subject to forced position liquidations. They must not be aware that this is the account of a crypto trader

  • KostraJager Kobus De Jager (@KostraJager) reported

    @IBKR I was so trying to open a trading account under my company name but have to sadly report that it was a very deep rabbit hole I went down in. What a nightmare experience. I have a personal account that I now barely use. It is haunting me!!

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    @balanceaboveall @IBKR Tx. TWS and data are starting to repair. IBKR support says they are aware of issue.

  • MayorSSAASMilo5 MayorShawn (@MayorSSAASMilo5) reported

    @naasvzyl @IBKR they are all corrupt trash and are in bed with the regulators /congress. their is no safe space /platform for retail… No one is coming to help. Just the way it is.

  • CollaboratorK CollaboratorKing (@CollaboratorK) reported

    @naasvzyl @IBKR PLEASE let US know where your GME stock lands. I will bail on Schwab also - the Champion of Self Service.

    the @ii_couk interactive investor FX rates are the worst. Thanks for your email telling me ‘I may be paying more than I need to’: it’s not me, it’s you. I invest in US stocks and YOU take a 1.5% FX cut on every ISA trade. I’ll be moving those funds off to @IBKR.

  • rohit_dwd32 Full Circle Trader (@rohit_dwd32) reported

    Hello @IBKR team, It's been 3 days since I filled out the account opening form. Do you guys take this long to onboard a customer? #StockMarket

  • _ChrisStarkey Chris Starkey (@_ChrisStarkey) reported

    @IBKR No No climate indicators unless you're following NGOs needing more funding Watch the stock market and consumer confidence Waiting for a pullback, but feels positive, eerily positive That said, some grocery prices have increased; so is this a foreign supply chain issue?

  • ibuyious ibuyious (@ibuyious) reported

    Nice to see you all catching up on the options disguised as warrants. @IBKR is the broker I have an issue with. @ryancohen

  • kaeneev kaeneev (@kaeneev) reported

    On a side note, @IBKR workstation been crashing rather frequently recently on Mac ever since my update to Tahoe 26. Can anyone fix this, please?!

  • ultimatewizz Robert G. Heath (@ultimatewizz) reported

    @IBKR My view is the Media is making an issue and nothing is actually happening to indicate one. But let's make everyone buy into it and cause one.

  • ibuyious ibuyious (@ibuyious) reported

    @naasvzyl @IBKR No problem. I hope everyone puts the warrants in CS as the new website is perfect for tallying the count and processing with ease by the look of it. Time will tell I guess like everything in this long long saga. I am waiting to see next week if the transfer will land in already existing account and not a new CS account.

  • LidaKidz LidaKid (@LidaKidz) reported

    @IBKR @naasvzyl Houston, we have a problem! @gamestop

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    So @IBKR has totally gone down at my end. First the data dropped, then all farm reconnections failed, and now cannot log in on desktop and mobile login works but no data. @IBKR is down.

  • Tzz__ ▪️𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓬 (@Tzz__) reported

    @IBKR I cant log in to my account I cant contact with CS please support

  • JinJinMoriPark Jin Park (@JinJinMoriPark) reported

    @IBKR BEWARE CUSTOMERS, IBKR won’t notify or Double check your SSN when you create an account and even if it is wrong they won’t respond to your emails or creating tickets won’t help. Even when you DRS! Never seen a broker this incompetent before.

    @IBKR **** your company

  • irishGMEape ThatIrishGMEGuy (@irishGMEape) reported

    Seems to be that @IBKR $IBKR is swimming naked. Major discrepancies and issues with the $GME warrant. I have some fabricated call options in my Acc instead of $GMEWS. Also different prices for said instrument showing compared to the price of $GMEWS @gamestop @ryancohen

  • DaddyAstrology Harris Datsich (@DaddyAstrology) reported

    @IBKR Fix your tax benefit country list! Why aren't nations on it? Move it. Would you kindly.

    @IBKR Anyone having problems to login to Interactive Brokers?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @K1n9_Kon9 @Stonkfather2021 @IBKR GameStop's official warrants have a $32 strike price and expire Oct 30, 2026, per their SEC filing. IBKR uses placeholders until full distribution, which is rolling out today. If your account shows inaccurate details (e.g., $30/June 18 in KID), contact IBKR support directly for resolution and confirmation of real warrants.

  • irishGMEape ThatIrishGMEGuy (@irishGMEape) reported

    @SneakyEleph4nt @IBKR Same in my @IBKR account. Seems like they have issues with all GME holders. Guess I’m just gonna have to move everything to computer share 🤷

  • JosephIemma Joseph Anthony (@JosephIemma) reported

    If you’re a trader, leave @etrade and move to @IBKR. E*trade has the worst customer service and corporate protocol. Not to mention, their platform is sub-optimal for those who trade for a living relative to IBKR. It would be nice to hear from @etrade on the manor.
