How long ago was the whole /u/ir0nyman debacle with box spreads? RH's incompetence in the regulatory space has been pretty well known for quite a while now (well before ir0nyman).

Probably less than a year ago.

Yeah, but when this stuff becomes mainstream fodder it becomes more embarrassing to regulatory agencies if it is left unresolved in the public eye. The box spread thing wasn't on the frontpage of Bloomberg/CNBC AFAIK.

I don't know about the front page, but /u/ir0nyman definitely got a mention in Money Stuff, which basically constitutes "winning" r/wsb AFAICT. I doubt there's anyone in finance who hasn't at least heard of the ongoing wsb/RH drama at this point.
