GameStop is still trading at 6x the value it was back then. So even now those redditors are getting considerable returns. It's been a huge transfer of wealth from wall street fat cats to nerds on an Internet forum.

Once you factor in all the "nerds" who bought at 100+ and are now massively in the hole and all the "fat cats" who made millions playing the WSB crowd, I suspect you'll find a there will be a roughly net zero wealth transfer from the "wall street fat cats".
