How do you know that everyone who bought it actually doesn't care about Gamestop's worth? There isn't really any way to prove that every single person (or even a majority of people, or really even a good portion of the people) don't care about GameStop's success and are solely doing it as a metagame.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoWell there's the rub, we do need proof and that takes investigation. It's obvious what's going on but we will need to wait for whoever is conning this to leave a trail. It's just a matter of time.
- mynameisvlad 6y agoWhat proof? I'm serious here. Sure, there's threads on WSB about this, but there's no real way to tie that to actual transactions, and not everyone who has bought stock even contributes to that subreddit, let alone the specific threads about this. Furthermore, all it really takes is someone saying "I bought stock because I believe in the company". We don't have thought police; unless someone explicitly posts "I, RH account XXX, bought the stock in a concerted effort to short it" there's no real way to prove intent.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoI've no idea if any proof can be found in this case. I just know that if someone has won big off this they're likely to continue doing it until caught.
