The man who created Reddit’s WallStreetBets isn’t who you think he is.
He is 39 years old. He lives in Mexico City with his wife, a physician, and spends his weeks chasing after their 3-year-old twins and tending to his day job as a consultant—hardly the sort of character one might associate with the roiling investing forum. He never imagined the Reddit community he created in 2012 would morph into a force so powerful that it would send GameStop Corp. shares into overdrive, nearly topple a hedge fund and leave professional money managers around the country staring at Twitter with their mouths agape.
“It’s a little like watching one of those horror films where you can see the bad guy slowly going up the stairs,” Jaime Rogozinski said. “You see this train wreck happening in real time.” Mr. Rogozinski started WallStreetBets while working as an information technology consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, D.C. Back then, he was single, making a decent living and looking for something to put some play money into. The only problem was the conventional wisdom of sticking with index-tracking funds bored him.

Lol, dude tried to monetize the sub... was kicked out by his own community.

What about the hedge funds that shorted more than 100% if the stock
January 2021 has seen opening attacks by the populist right and left on certain core institutions of our country. They're prepared to keep life a constant state of panic and chaos rather than tolerate a world that isn't their utopia. They're not allied, but two fronts to fight.
“You see this train wreck happening in real time.” Brokers with itchy fingers n greed got burned Just a reward for them
STICKING a 'wedge' to the hedge fund snobs
👏👏👏 I had NO idea stocks could be manipulated as such
Says the man who lost his way trying to monetize WSB user base😅
I believe my GME stock would be worth $250,000 today had my free speech not been illegally detained by Citadel Investments (Robinhood). As a result I am shifting my assets and going all in on GME.
The article was behind a paywall but didn’t the founder of WSB get chased from his own sub for trying to be greedy at the expense of his followers?
Beardstown Ladies are laughing.
He's a hero
WSJ, The positive thing Donald taught Americans was, band together and you can also make money off Fellow Rich Americans.

Universe wants to right some wrongs. What value do hedge fund guys add to the good. Absolutely nothing.

Robinhood seems to force liquidation at below lowest market price (126). How do we know they actually bought the stock for the customer in the first place?
(Salesman) How about real time accounting with zero number crunching time? Check out this app: 'Causality - Time Is Money' on Apple App Store

The big scam. If we do the same with silver, taking it to $ 1000, we destroy the corrupt system
Silly poor people money is for rich people SMFH

I do agree that shorting stocks should be banned! It serves no economic benefit in general expect to those who placed it if they happen to be right! It’s a malicious tool
All in favor of developing and implementing a WallStreetBets brokerage app say aye! Sharing and liking this comment will really help spread the word! 🚀🚀🚀
HOLLLLLLD 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💎🙌
