As of when I'm writing this comment, GME is up about 1,800% since the beginning of the year. I am extraordinarily skeptical that this is a good thing, for Gamestop or the investors or really anyone at all.
Curious how long it would take. Are there regulatory hurdles that take time? If not, I could see that the potential for large profits might make an otherwise slow process suddenly get completed in a short amount of time if needed.
