Hedge fund tries to short Gamestop, now gets short squeezed by R/wallstreetbets

     It amuses me more than it should that a major hedge fund is suffering now because of a random band of internet trolls. I don't condone their actions, but I also don't have much sympathy for the hedge fund.

Whats wrong with their actions ?
They saw an opportunity and used it.

     They are pretty much just doing it as a troll. I don't advocate punishing them or anything, but it isn't the best motivation for someone to act upon.
