That's why I think it's pretty blatant that this is an attempt to artificially deflate the price. Shorts can keep re-leveraging themselves and driving the price down because you've tied the hands of the demand. Absurd.

...it was halted on a few platforms, but there are many brokerages where buying was not halted.

That seems less-and-less true as time goes on. Many brokers are not allowing users to buy GME even if their UX implies you can.
