As I see, many of them are aware of this and doing mainly for fun/revenge/etc and ready to lose the 'investment'. Basically a special kind of bubble scheme to deliberately pushing an actor to the top of it to maximalize it's loss. Not sure if there was anything like this in the past. Interesting story.

Shorts have been getting slaughtered in covering rallies since the first short was allowed.

I can't believe these "professional" funds would keep short positions open on an equity with crazy-high short interest...that's like Trading-For-Dummies grade fail.

What's more amazing is many of their clients will be destroyed in the largest bubble in history, where money was given out to every idiot with a TD Ameritrade account.
