If you believe this narrative I have a bridge for sale. Here's an obvious litmus test: did they re-open buying for GME after they raised an additional billion[0] which easily covers them in this position?

Not really - they only allowed buying to bring the total position to 5 shares, and then lowered that to 2 shares and now 1 share!

And if you already held more than that quantity of shares you couldn’t buy more shares.

That's consistent with them being worried about collateral requirements.
