Well. A fancy new turn of events.
So we've seen the usual stuff.: short ladders, media manipulation, blaming retail investors for manipulating the market etc.
Then we've seen the really dodgy, downright illegal stuff: shutting down retail investors from buying. Limiting options to sell only. I'll add falsified short interest numbers here, though there is no proof of that, only a lot of speculation.
But today is a new one.

So basically, some old admins from years ago have taken over WSB. Kicked out the recently active moderators, brought in their own moderators with accounts made in the past days etc. And of course are deleting any post saying anything about this. It's an internet coup! How exciting!
Two options:
1. One (or some) of the old admins smelled money due to the publicity, the talks about a movie, every media wanting to interview "WSB" etc. (the last is a bad idea. The retardness is so strong you can't put it on air!
) So they figured, hey I could cash in on controlling WSB!
2. The shorters are still majorly screwed and figured that buying WSB might just be their way out.
