Worse still, I saw some speculation as to what portion of WSB traffic was in fact bots.

Regardless of what happened, next time it could be all bots doing the hyping.

Cybercrime is already catching on to these ideas, there were reports of criminals breaking into corporate systems to steal financials, then trade off them (or sell to traders). This is all rife for abuse.

It's happening with political news. It's only a matter of time before it catches on in wall street.

Definitely feel like it was bots saying “We’re going after silver now!”
