I was just sort of following the whole circus without any interest (maybe a slight short interest even) and even I'm really angry at how this has been done.

Absolutely disgusting, people need to go to jail for this, you can't get away with punitive fines that are less than what the hedge funds would've lost on the trade itself.

I hope regulators step in and preserve all correspondence + records on why this decision was made. But somehow, I don't think this will happen. They will lose documents, texts and chats mysteriously and that will be that.

Only hope is whistleblowers leaking stuff to the media.
