Of course, not pictured here is the main driver of its price boom in 2021: investors like Melvin capital who were shorting more GME stock than there actually was in circulation, intending to bankrupt the company and not eat their shorts.
This was huge. A few investment firms went tits up over the stock loan late fees.
I forget how the story ended... Did we have a financial collapse 100x's worse than the Great Depression? Or did they change rules and engage in slimy fuckery to let Wall St. off the hook?
