    If you read about the Citadel, Melvin and Robinhood connection, you'd see that really this was just a big move to consolidate a smaller hedge fund into a bigger hedge fund, with r/wsb being a front to do all that movement.

            We won't know anything concrete until the dust settles but if Citadel is like 4x bigger by then, it won't be much of a surprise lol

            Also thank you for posting that, I felt like I was going crazy looking for some deeper meaning or explanation to all this other than "hedge fund bad, reddit fight big hedge fund". Spared me my sanity lmao

      I wouldn’t say your first point was the intention, but is certainly a benefit. This is a good thread for anyone interested in getting acquainted with some of the behind the scenes action
