I think the much simpler "conspiracy" is that a few people in WSB have been using the platform to pump and dump stocks and this one just got a little out of control.

RH has fucked up a bunch here, but there are some folks who are going to make a killing on this (maybe already have). It's quite possible there are a few front-runners on WSB who are talking GME up like mad even as they quietly sell off shares for a big profit. The front runners have big profits on this deal.



Sorry, but this really isn't just a WSB pump and dump. The real issue is what the hedgefonds did before WSB even got involved.
