Apparently there's an early buyer of one of these stocks who made $40 million off of it; I last read they only sold $14 million of their position so far.

Yep, that buyer is https://twitter.com/theroaringkitty

Here [0] he talks the first time about the GME stock; the video was uploaded on the 28th of July, 2020 and the stock was at $4.03 back then.

Here [1] you can find his latest GME update; he's sitting on $50 Mio. right now, although it's quite volatile.

Here [2] you can see a post from his Reddit account on November 2019 showing his GME calls.

It's just crazy and fascinating at the same time.

You just need a single person who's paying attention and understands these arguable flaws, pitfalls in the status quo system, they get rewarded by being able to get in early - and then they can educate a highly organized and motivated group of retail investors who are happy to rally - especially against a system that has fucked over the majority of people.
