On the bright side, there is still $3 worth of downside available for shorting.
It should be as clear as day to everyone, that the announcement (of the "intention") to prohibit toxic conversions below $5 was all a ploy to bait in more liquidity to actually do the exact opposite, which is ACCELERATE the toxic conversions - not slow them down. At least that is how I see it...and evidently how it played out.
Faraday never had the decency to to confirm whether or not it was in effect. But ultimately, it didn't even really matter obviously. Because the only time this toxic dilution trash even sniffed $5 since that PR, was in aftermarket after the horrific ER report that FF tried to pass off as being good. Even if this freeze is active, all it does is serve as a green light for shorts to sink their teeth in when (of if) the price ever reaches this level. Which is probably won't.
I think this one single act, more than anything, shows you exactly what kind of people YT and Jerry are. If you want to keep shoveling your money to these people, I will leave that up to you. I, however, will safely assume that there will be nothing but more smokescreens, games and collusion with the most malicious toxic lenders on Wall Street, despite the countless times YT and Jerry have chirped about "transparency". Look into their souls and look into the company's filings for the truth.
Technically, it still qualifies as what YT and Jerry Wang have been habitually describing as their pledge to "be transparent" and "anti-hype", like in this video for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FFIE/comments/1kpz652/three_truths_investors_actually_care_about/
...even though it couldn't be more obvious (at least to me) that the PRs purposely leave out grim details that can only be found in the fine print of the filings. But ultimately, it was all in the filings - hence..."transparent".
The most glaring and malicious one IMO was the $5 conversion floor freeze announcement. Because when you peel apart the orange, you'll easily see that it's pretty much irrelevant, impossible to know if it is in effect and being enforced, and at a price level that will hurt more shareholders than help. Very few people have a a cost basis of less than $5.
Full disclaimer: The following is AI-generated analysis. I know this is somewhat frowned upon here, but for sake of time, this was the most efficient way to put it all together. Do your own due diligence, make your own decisions. This is not financial advice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PR Headline: "Stockholders Approve $25M Private Placement Proposal to Support EAI Robotics."
The Reality: There was no new $25 million cash injection or fresh institutional buyer. This was the formal shareholder vote (Proposal 1) required by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) to remove the 19.99% ceiling on the May 2026 convertible debt agreement.
The Play: Framing a vote that unlocks unlimited debt-to-equity conversions for lenders (like Streeterville) as if it were a brand-new institutional private placement investment.
The PR Headline: "Faraday Future Sets $5.00 Conversion Price Floor Freeze under Capital Value Restoration Plan."
The Reality: In the fine print of the Form 8-K filing, management stated it "intends" to set a $5.00 floor "so long as such limitation is allowed within relevant contractual obligations."
The Play: Creating the perception of a price floor to encourage retail buying without having a signed, legally binding amendment from noteholders that explicitly bans conversions below $5.00 under all conditions.
The PR Headline: "Record Q2 Revenue Up 1,400%+ Year-Over-Year!"
The Reality: Q2 revenue was $836,000 (up from $54,000 in Q2 2025). However, generating that $836K required $11.54 million in Cost of Revenue, resulting in a net loss of $38.96 million for the quarter.
The Play: Highlighting massive percentage growth figures to trigger momentum scanner algorithms and retail FOMO, while glossing over the fact that the company spent roughly $13 for every $1 of revenue brought in.
The PR Headline: "Faraday Future Regains Full Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Compliance."
The Reality: Compliance was achieved artificially via an extreme 1-for-150 reverse stock split on July 24, which condensed the tradeable float down to roughly ~2.5 million shares.
The Play: Presenting Nasdaq compliance as a sign of financial recovery rather than the mathematical outcome of a reverse split that wiped out significant retail equity.
The PR Headline: Weekly updates touting "ongoing negotiations" with strategic Middle Eastern partners and independent private equity for the Embodied AI division.
The Reality: None of these updates have resulted in a binding SEC Form 8-K (Item 1.01) confirming settled cash arriving on the corporate balance sheet.
The Play: Keeping retail traders engaged on the prospect of a "white knight" investor, providing buying volume that noteholders can trade against.
The PR Headline: Touting an aggregate ~$70 million in commitments secured over recent months.
The Reality: This aggregate figure bundles convertible notes, restricted deposits, and conditional commitments—much of which represents debt obligations rather than non-dilutive balance-sheet equity.
The Play: Grouping various debt instruments together under a single large headline number to make the capital structure appear more robust than it is.
Summary
The pattern across these announcements is consistent: Press releases emphasize scale and positive momentum, while SEC disclosures detail the underlying conditions and risks. Understanding this gap helps clarify why headline surges often fade once trading volume normalizes.

I feel that if YT and Jerry are putting so much effort into plastering themselves all over social media, it's only fitting that retail bans together to call them out on every social media outlet that they can be found on. Which is pretty much all of them. Of course they will probably choose to ignore and likely even block those who do. But at least it will be out there.
