Ya, you're not wrong. And the unwritten/unknown rules of how to do skirt around the law aren't going to be changed by this situation. We still (in my opinion, unfortunately) have a legal system that is way to heavy on "word of the law" vs "intent of the law". We saw some of this a couple weeks ago. True intent is hard to prove through words, and context is super important. For what it's worth, I seriously doubt that someone on reddit who made an market-manipulation-incriminating statement and made a couple hundred bucks will face punishment. I suspect that when all of this is looked at at the end, the "gains" will be rather bi/tri-modal. A ton of people losing money, a bunch making a little bit (relatively), and then a small handful who make absolute bank. The group on the right are the ones who will have to be careful/worried.
