I was thinking if he/white hats were involved it would have to be either of these or both: The initial short selling by hedge fund people, And/or Influencing the wallstreetbets people into recognizing the short selling and therefore buying into the stock to drive up the cost per share so hedge fund people lose lots of money Another angle was potentially ccp or black hats organizing the people to crash the US market I’m sure there are more speculations out there I just remember reading these over the past few days
