    The market is crooked, but not at the level of crazy conspiracies the Superstonk bros think / thought. A company took a big gamble on Gamestop tanking, and they were caught. They paid a huge price, and it’s over. There’s still market manipulation going on, there’s still trading in dark pools, and the regulators are not able to keep up. But, it’s not a crazy conspiracy with everyone trying to screw the little guy. It’s big guys all trying to screw each-other, and screwing the little guy if they have a chance, and the regulators are trying and failing to keep up.
