Lots of due diligence is readily available over there to show that those conditions are only getting more dire for the funds that never actually hedged their bets with authentic shares.

It looks like they are serious. They really believe their "DD" about "authentic shares" and "NFT dividends."

That "DD" has been debunked numerous times, and I won't waste my time rehashing it. Suffice it to say that Carl Icahn is no stranger to burning short sellers by putting money in, loudly announcing it, and helping his investment through the legal system; and his absence from GME shows just how believable he thinks that DD is.
