Super interesting read. I ended up getting curious as to who he worked for, checked out his LinkedIn and it turns out he works for Citadel.. I swear I've heard of that company somewhere? ;)
It was Citadel (along with others) who heavily shorted these stocks. And supposedly they are still trying to save their positions by any means, including illegal ones.
I think your use of supposedly is definitely in order. A lot of what I read had connections that were shaky at best.. a lot seemingly read more like Q/conspiracy inspired bullshit to me than cold hard facts (to me).
