Biden administration to begin totalitarian crackdown on $GME squeezers
Needless to say, what these smalltime investors did is far from illegal and not uncommon among Wall Street firms.
What IS illegal is collusion between hedge funds and trading platforms to restrict buys (but not sells!) of stocks those same hedge funds have shorted. ALSO illegal is the White House (allegedly) directly intervening on behalf of the hedge funds to prevent losses on their part, contacting brokers directly to request to make certain specific stocks unavailable to their customers. To add to the illegality, trading platforms selling stock on their user's behalf without permission, as Robinhood did to users today who had purchased $GME.

They're already being called white supremacists and Gamergaters on CNN, they'll be terrorists tomorrow.
Ridiculous given how most of the vocal people involved with this is are die-hard, outspoken progressives đ

Robinhood sells users data to citadel who bailed out melvin capital who was shorting Gamestop. Connect the dots. Obvious market manipulation happening. Gamestop, nokia and blackberry should sue robinhood for preventing people from buying more stock.

Serfs should remain serfs, it seems, and both parties generally seem to be ok with that. Bloodsucking vampires who donate to campaigns are safe.
The SEC is looking into it to attack the small investors, not to see if RH or the funds did anything wrong.
Always attacking the little guy.

I donât trust either one of theses groups. Can you imagine if your stock advisor was anonymous? That seems like a bad idea. Reddit is a breeding ground of covert operations. This whole thing stinks.
The hedge funds are evil though. And DL has been one of the rare corners of Internet that the hedgers havenât bought yet.

r12 It's up to him whether he deserves it or not.
As always he could take the reins, uphold the law, negotiate fairly between the parties, come up with a workable solution, advocate for Wall Street reform, do the types of things his voters expect from him.
There is no way for this to end well for Biden if the squeezers don't get their money.
If he allows the crackdown to happen he's OVER.

Folksy politicians want us to build wealth over generations. Financial speculation is for the billionaire super-PAC funders only.
The little people should keep their heads down and obey.
The SEC is going to attack the Subredditâs founder and small investors who actually made some money from this.
Robinhood and the hedge funds are safe.

R3 has pretty much got it right.
I can't find R2's claim of an alleged mention on CNN of the WSB redditors also being Gamergaters, but Hilary Sargent has pointed out multiple examples of how some of the WSB folks are also the far-right 8kun type of antisemites.
There is absolutely overlap between the two groups. No one knows how much overlap yet, but there is. You don't have to go far on any social media platform to see the guys joining in against the hedge fund companies saying they're doing it because of some far-right antisemitic belief. Lots of their usernames on Twitter are things like "Bear_Jew" or "JewSwell" or "CryptoJewGold1."

There's absolutely no evidence that the Biden admin has stepped in and told Robinhood et al. to break the law in order to protect some hedge funds. The only people who say this has happened are the same people who say the Biden admin is just as evil as the Trump admin. OP is also the one saying the Biden admin has taken away our freedom of speech, so consider the source on this one.

This is an loose thread of financial fuckery exposed on a trading platform- a setup that if pulled hard enough, enough times or taught to enough people (or to AI with an algorithm) could cost trillions or devastate the economy because itâs exposing the market is rigged . You can expect to see some very clever knitting by officials to seal it right back up.

R33 is the type who if a stabbing occurs in Europe will have no problem blaming any Muslim no where near it, yet someone who has actively supported Trump's evil at every turn and enabled the lies about the election, apparently bares no responsibility for the threats of a favorite target of the right for years now. The insurrectionists literally name him.
