Why did GME drop from 344 to 198 in a few minutes today?

Say if I'm a hedge fund and I want to short, I would slowly short it at 344 or above, spreading the orders through out the day to prevent such a drop. But this looks like they intentionally lowered the asking price considerably to make that stock tank and trigger some stop losses. Am I guessing this correctly? They probably bought puts before selling.

Some giant bagholders prolly said "Holy shit, let's get out now while the going is good. This dog ain't worth it."
 
Like Overnight said, motherfuckers know that stock is worthless and the smart ones timed their exit to get out before everyone else starts selling around the 393 or so prior high. Expect a further crash tomorrow. GME is done, stick a fork in it.
 
My guess is that they know a bunch of guys using margin to buy shares and to force them to liquidate their positions, GME has to drop to below $200, so the margin call can be issued and broker will liquidate those positions.

lol bro you will be paying short interest for the rest of your life before you reach breakeven on your short.
 
The Japanese Yakuza employed hundreds of tainted people in the 80s and 90s to rig and move stocks around with insider information. They had entire boiler rooms. It would not surprise me if a bunch of criminal elements with lots of liquidity are part of the entire shit stock game and crypto World, trading in and out by colluding with other "entities" to move stocks and cryptos in size. With regulators that are soft on anything and where anyone with pockets can register and fund entirely anonymous offshore entities and with regulators who are satisfied to fine a few millions rather than ever convicting individuals then we should not be surprised that we have the markets we are seeing today. A bit of conspiracy theory but there is no way that any fund that prides itself on low volatility returns would ever get involved in this scam in size.
