A Korean fund made a billion dollars on a 12 million dollar GmE investment and they were only the 7th largest holder of GME shares. The wsb narrative of this sticking it to Wall Street is just false.

Makes me think some of these very similar looking frantic lunatic posts are part manufactured.

It'll take a good effort to show it conclusively


Interesting - who knows, could even be professional foreign trolls, only interested in encouraging volatility a.k.a. instability.


It's this false dynamic, as if the people working at funds don't browse the internet.
