He's using his influence to manipulate the stock price. Well, duh!Why not? Hedge funds are legally required to report their positions. Doesn't make sense that it would be illegal for him to report his positions. GME now has $5B in cash (about where its entire market cap was 3 weeks ago). I would not be shocked if they raised billions more out of this. Honestly, anybody shorting here seems pretty foolish. The upside is way larger than the downside in the near term.
Plus hedge funds don't report their holdings to Reddit or Youtube.
