Super interesting read. I ended up getting curious as to who he worked for, checked out his LinkedIn and it turns out he works for Citadel.. I swear I've heard of that company somewhere? ;)

He says he works at Citadel in the article itself. It’s a pretty large company in its market, doing rather well.

Care to share where?

Google 'meme stocks'
I did, no mention of Citadel. What is this, some fight club rule number 1 and 2 where you gotta be cryptic?

It was Citadel (along with others) who heavily shorted these stocks. And supposedly they are still trying to save their positions by any means, including illegal ones.

I think your use of supposedly is definitely in order. A lot of what I read had connections that were shaky at best.. a lot seemingly read more like Q/conspiracy inspired bullshit to me than cold hard facts (to me).
