Some speculation regarding short laundering: https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/lr33yp/etfs_containing...

GME just hit $170/share after hours, having closed around 90 an hour ago.

Edit: $180/share

Edit 2: $200/share

Edit: "smoking" --> "on fire"
SEC numbers and a few other sources. I read somewhere that currently the estimated number of shorts is 4x actual number of actual shares. Not sure if it's true though.
