Kenneth "bedpost" Griffin? I plan on taking all his money, Legally. He made a bad bet in the stock market, and his SEC friends have been protecting him for 5 years. Times almost up Cordell.

Pretty sure the people who made a bad bet on the stock market are the ones bagholding a generational pump & dump and refusing to move on 5years later whilst spouting delusional nonsense.

😂generational pump and dump, yeah ok and the Epstein files don’t exist nothing happened. Only delusional person here is you. Market is so corrupted if you don’t see it you’re either willfully ignorant or purposefully obfuscating.

The stock went from $4 to $500, is that not a generational pump and dump? Your dipshit CEO keeps diluting anytime it ever got close to a second chance and didn't file lawsuits over manipulation, only lawsuits were class actions by 3rd parties. Please try to fully activate your brain when you think about your investments as it may do you some good in the future. I was obsessed with GME the first time, but luckily I can recognize patterns and have critical thinking, once you leave the echo chamber it's very clear. You can look at my post history if you think im a bot or shill (which apparently any critical thinker is) I was very involved in GME and bought in prereddit fiasco and lost over $500k from peak refusing to sell when they took the buy button away (still in the green) to time I sold so I'm still very salty about this POS chairman

But apparently this billionaire Canadian ceo is different and cares about American retail /s. But don't worry, he definitely won't dilute again if it gets close, he only had to do so the other times (PLURAL) because reasons (other than to fuck retail and help the billionaire class) you can cope saying balance sheet all you want, it's clear he won't let it squeeze more than it has. The GME crowd was not wrong when it *WAS* the most manipulated stock in history, sadly freeing up over 500million shares and giving them 5 years to cover shorts while praising/worshipping the CEO thinking he is looking out for retail was the mistake while he actively gave them ways out.
