At least one of the possible instigators, a financial advisor, is under investigation: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/gamestop-red...

I don’t see what he did as wrong. He seems to be caught in a technicality in that he has a broker license (though was not, in his day job, in a role advising on investments), but never used his role (or even identified his role - or even his name for someone else to identify him and his brokerage license and consequently rely on his licensing in making their own decisions) to cause others to make investment decisions. He simply presented his own due diligence on the stock, which is only “wrong” in this cause because unbeknownst to viewers he has his brokerage license.

I think it is ludicrous that they are going after him.
