TD Ameritrade Bartlett Warehouse Burns After Investigation Announcements

Updated on July 27, 2026

The Bartlett Warehouse fire seems to be a records storage facility owned by TD Ameritrade Inc.

The retail community finds it incredibly suspicious since the incident occurred after the SEC announced 60 hedge funds were to undergo investigations for manipulative short selling.

The address of the Bartlett Warehouse fire can be traced through SEC reports below.

Welcome to Franknez.com – today’s news will leave you in deep thought. Be sure to leave a comment at the end of the article.

Let’s get started!

Bartlett Warehouse Fire News Video

Massive fire destroys document warehouse in Bartlett

The warehouse caught fire on Thursday morning, February 3rd.

Officials say the warehouse was stacked floor to ceiling with boxes of documents which further fueled the fire, via ABC7 Chicago.

In contrast, facilities like those provided by Self Storage Brothers offer secure storage solutions with advanced 24/7 video surveillance and keypad access, ensuring that sensitive documents and valuables remain safe from potential hazards.

The Bartlett Fire Chief anticipates the fire to be a multi-day event.

The cause of the fire is undetermined.

This news has retail investors baffled as the location of the building, 1200 Humbracht Circle matches an SEC filing tied to TD Ameritrade, the broker company.

Now, what makes the news rather interesting is that the storage company “Access”, is not filed as the owner of the warehouse.

After doing some thorough research, the retail investor community found that the warehouse actually pertains to TD Ameritrade.

Here’s the SEC report below.

You might be asking, well why is this even significant?

The SEC and DoJ have initiated an investigation on hedge funds in regard to illegal short selling activity.

Retail investors find it rather curious that a warehouse linked to the trading broker TD Ameritrade casually burned to the ground after the news of investigations surfaced.

According to Charles Gasparino, the Department of Justice is currently looking at 60 firms for illegal short selling practices.

— Charles Gasparino (@CGasparino) February 3, 2022

This is a developing story.

Is there a connection between the two?

Retail investors over at Reddit have many mixed opinions on the matter.

Hedge funds have been under heavy scrutiny from retail investors.

More specifically from the AMC and GME community after the ‘meme stock’ frenzy early last year, 2021.

Hedge funds have been able to suppress the share price of both these stocks through predatorial short-selling strategies.

In a Bloomberg exclusive, Gary Gensler states 90%-95% or retail market trades do not go through the lit exchange, but rather through dark pools.

    There’s also another layer to all of this.
    Currently there is a significant amount of online coordinated stalking and harassment of a former Td Ameritrade employee. She was sexually harassed by a manager threatening to break into her home and ziptie her. She reported it to her manager and it was not teported to HR. A fellow coworker enteted a claim about harassment against this manager and that claimant named her.
    Immediately following, she was actively harassed, bullied, retaliated against, and gaslet. You name it she experienced it as far as workplace psychological trauma could be concerned.

    ON 2-12-22 HER LINKEDIN, TIKTOK, FACEBOOK, ETC WERE ALL ATTACKED AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO DEPLATFORM HER TO TEMOVR HER VIDEOS.

    As of Wednesday of last week a former TD ameritrade/Charles Schwab social media team employee was a part of their coordinated cyber attack to shut her down.

    The fact that there’s an elected Qanon congress person (no judgment just an example) and there are 5 million one issue voters (Apes) that not only don’t have a person in the house or senate to champion our issue (don’t care if they’re being authentic just want representation) but we have little to zero news coverage for over a year as well to me it goes beyond self indictment. Proof? Look at the SEC’s twitter account for the past year. SMH

    I love how people have been trained to auto-associate the word “conspiracy” with fiction and fantasy.
    Open a dictionary. People plan… in secret, to commit crimes.

    Not buying it. A little to conspiracy theory.

    Access is a large company that holds documents for many. They most likely lease the space which is why the are not appearing as the owner. Very common. TD stores with them.

    On the same filing TD stores with many others as well.

      Hello, this really does NOT make sense. Access is a publicly traded company. They lease the space from a landlord to store documents, which is why it does not show as owning the property. TD stores with access as one of their thousands of companies. Looking at the filing, they list other companies as well that they store at. Sounds a lot like conspiracy here.

    This needs to be looked into deeper with scrutiny. When the media doesn’t talk about it, we need to talk about it. There are millions of apes who can put pressure on the SEC & DOJ to make these hedgies accountable for all their manipulation. That we won’t just sit and do nothing. The hedges won’t get away with it this time and the new rules must be enforced! Thank you Frank, keep up the great work. We apes will stand strong ~ together!

    I don’t know how it in the USA works because I’m from the Netherlands.

    But here you have to abide to rules especially for fire hazards like this.
    So documents stacked to the roof would never be allowed, next to that, there should be a digital backup of these files also required by law to trace things back. Files on paper as useless in cases like this.

    We will see if they get rid of those shorts this week and we squeeze.

    Well guys Looks like TD was covering their ass in this story. Look for them to be the first to dump all there shorts and start the MOAS. Remember somebody has to be first to get this started. I thought it
    would be a smaller Hedge Fund trying to survive. Personally I could care less who is first.

    Yeah, they do this in plain sight and no regards to the timing of the sec investigation. Makes you wonder if they have the feds in their pocket. Nothing will happen! The feds bailed the banks our in 2008 and never made any arrests. White collar crime isn’t really a crime in their world. It’s just another day of them getting richer.

    I don’t see how this whole building would burn to the ground before a municipality like Bartlett and surrounding communities could not get it put out. Of course documents of importance in a facility designed to secure archived documents would have fire suppression systems. This feels looks sounds like a blank cover up of a cover up. Too much for it to be a coincidence. There better be a investigation into this fire souls like these documents were stacked as if brought to this facility recently for the very purpose of “accidental “ destruction. Maybe some security cameras will reveal recent traffic.
