SEC may come after you - be warned, there is precedent. For example here is one: https://www.seclaw.com/15messageposter92000/

yeah that explains why some high profile reddit accounts posting on r/wallstreetbets have started to deactive themselves.

I wouldn't be surprised if SEC has been archiving r/wallstreetbets. Actually they might not need to as it is impossible to delete your comment history.

I predict that we may see lot of people get penalized and perhaps even jail time for pumping up meme stocks, although it will take years.

Reddit has all comment history, dms, emails and ip addresses just as a routine measure.
