I seriously doubt this is possible now that WSB is throwing around options like crazy.

Thus it's easy to distinguish the guy that made a single perfect call from the crowd of imperfect one. The only solution for them would be to lose as much as much as everyone else from WSB... at least they wouldn't have to ever pay tax again right?!

Yeah there are a crazy number of people yoloing in crazy options plays right now. Their job must be much much harder these days if that’s the case.

I think you missed this part:

> Anyone who made money who wasn't similarly profitable before

WSB is one offs and gets investigate. Other market players have historical data showing they are not one hit wonders. Like someone who hits 5/17 is different than one who hits 1/21

Yeah I doubt they get investigated. They would have already talked about it by now.

Many WSBers have been investigated, myself included.
