NYSE:AMC   AMC Entertainment
The APE dividend is coming as a 1:1 non-dilutive "split". Every single one of the roughly 500million shares will receive 1 $APE, priced at 0.01$.

What if, let's say YOU hold 1000 shares of AMC. Later this month the dividend will be distributed and you surprisingly only receive 300 $APE.
Where are the remaining 700 $APE shares? Is it possible that you only held fugazi shares that looked like real ones? Where would the missing $APE shares come from?
Would your broker buy them back at market price to provide for the missing shares? What would that mean for the price of $APE? Who would be accountable of such a mess?
And what if they try to provide those missing shares, only to realise that the price of $APE has exceeded the thousands?

What if someone already knows about this and decides to cover the shorts before the dividend is distributed to avoid being proven guilty?

What if?
