    Cum-Ex is two Latin words that mean with and without.

    It refers to nature of the scam, in which the borrowing of stock makes it appear that two different parties are simultaneously holding the shares. And they are, but only one party is entitled to the dividend, and that is what creates the opportunity for tax fraud.

    I don't know the exact origin of the term, but it may refer to the fact that while two parties are technically holding the shares, one holds them with the right to collect the dividend, while the other holds them without the right to collect the dividend...

    The name does not refer to a sexual climax [LMAO]
