As someone with a known presence in Wall Street Bets aka WSB; this movie felt like a wannabe “The Big Short” — it misses a lot of the communities charm and subtle lore. Not a single mention about ban bets or any mention of “larping”.
Since the event, the moderators of WSB have become greedy and tried to profit off the forums popularity leading to multiple disputes and splits within the community.
It’s hard to believe that this whole story involved Wall Street Bets but not a single example of the chaos that ensued in Voice chat used nightly between all users regardless of DFV being involved or not. The only thing we can be happy about is that Jartek and zjz were never mentioned.
Don’t be fooled, this was a dumb money grab by Hollywood.
