Do you think that he is the only member of WSB that is a licensed broker or works in finance? I don't want to bet but I would say there is a good chance that people that a lot of people that used to post on WSB have either financial background or work in finance/trading.

Oh, there's literally no way he's the only one. Hell, Martin Shkreli used to be a mod of the sub (or at least a very active member).

There are plenty of people on WSB who very clearly know what they are talking about and trade for a living. I just think the narrative became that he was this random guy and finding out that he has a little more experience than people thought changes the story a little bit.

Like I said above, I really don't think he did anything wrong and I don't think he was intentionally being misleading. He didn't really even post many comments on Reddit. Half the time he just posted a screenshot of his account and that's it. I think people just interpreted it how they wanted.
