What is there to disclose when the group is entirely open for anybody to see?

Not sure if you’re serious, but there may be much more to the subreddit than meets the eye and regulators would probably be interested in:

1. Back channel communications and coordination between users.

2. User identities, including how many participating Reddit accounts are operated by the same individuals as alt accounts.

Oh, right. I never thought about those possibilities. They probably should investigate that stuff.

It's all complicated and up to interpretation to be honest.

Basically, doing any effort to raise stock price beyond it's "proper" price in a coordinating way is a violation. Proving it is an entire another thing. I doubt this is what happening right now. I would like to see anyone trying to prove that ":rocket::rocket::rocket: GME to 1000" counts as such.

However, liability like that is why AMC is forbidden to mention in r/WSB by its name. It's easy to pump and dump that ticket.

This is why many "Let's take over this company with small market cap" threads were removed back in a day.

/r/wallstreetbets is private now.

I wonder if that was an administrative decision. Browsing to it directly constantly errors out and when browsing /r/all it doesn’t show up. They complained to the mods about limiting comment threads. I wonder just how taxing this activity is on their servers.

Looks like it's back open again.

The % of outstanding shares controlled by a group acting in unison.

When the SEC requires reddit to disclose Private Messages?
