Partially right about this : "As it turns out, the company Jitney is named after an investing term (jitney) which can mean one of two things. A situation in which one broker who has direct access to a stock exchange performs trades for a broker who does not have access or; A fraudulent activity in the penny stock market involving two brokers trading a stock back and forth to rack up commissions and give the impression of trading volume. If it was me, I probably would not have named my investment company Jitney because, as you can see, it has a potentially very negative conotation if one goes by the second definition. Of course, what has at times been alleged on this site is the latter."

I have been trading under the Jitney platform for some time now. There is a brokerage firm also called Jitney. https://www.jitneytrader.com/

When I execute a transaction, I see Jitney as being the seller or the buyer (depending on a sell or buy transaction) and it has nothing to do with the investing term mentioned above.
