I posted an eerily similar comment to this on Reddit.
Yeah, the suit is BS, but the fact that he's a licensed broker really shifts the narrative a bit and makes you start to question things. It's no longer "Johnny Everyman finds Picasso painting at yard sale", it's now "Museum curator finds Picasso painting at yard sale".
I've been an active member of WSB for more than 5 years now and I've followed this story since the beginning. Based on his YouTube channel and some other things, I still think DFV is just a dude who stuck to his convictions and got insanely lucky, but I'm less certain of that than I was last week.
I don't think this suit will go anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised theres a few twists left in this story.
- chupy 6y agoDo you think that he is the only member of WSB that is a licensed broker or works in finance? I don't want to bet but I would say there is a good chance that people that a lot of people that used to post on WSB have either financial background or work in finance/trading.
- superfrank 6y agoOh, there's literally no way he's the only one. Hell, Martin Shkreli used to be a mod of the sub (or at least a very active member). There are plenty of people on WSB who very clearly know what they are talking about and trade for a living. I just think the narrative became that he was this random guy and finding out that he has a little more experience than people thought changes the story a little bit. Like I said above, I really don't think he did anything wrong and I don't think he was intentionally being misleading. He didn't really even post many comments on Reddit. Half the time he just posted a screenshot of his account and that's it. I think people just interpreted it how they wanted.
