I honestly feel bad for all the employees, especially the early ones with equity that were looking forward to cashing out after the IPO - now they have to deal with immensely negative PR and federal investigations.
For this reason I imagine that the first unconfirmed leak mentioned in another post will be far from the last. As if WSB vs. hedge funds wasn't a crazy enough story itself, the sequel to The Big Short is pretty much writing itself as the other players in the system expose exactly where they stand. Regulators and the Federal Government chapters incoming...
