re: Old Row is all over this Robinhood stuff

The stock for Gamestop (retail video game store) was bet against by a hedge fund wolf of Wall st person. They bet 140% of Gamestop's shares would go down some amount by x amount of time (tomorrow for some of that I think). These extra 40% of illegal magic stocks that don't exist have to be payed for out of pocket by the gambling hedge fund people at the call time. So a bunch of reddit people took note and started buying the stock, driving the price up. Robinhood, tb ameritrade etc sold these stocks until yesterday when they put a halt to purchases because their buddies and bosses are going to lose the bet and have to pay an insane amount of money.
