The Gamestop guy bought millions of dollars worth of shares and options on $GME, and then used his reputation to trigger a huge price upswing. Will there be any legal consequences?
I may resolve early if at the end of the year there seems to be no investigation or lawsuits forthcoming.
If there are consequences which are completely trivial relative to the profits gained, I may resolve this to a small number roughly in proportion to their share of his (approximate, risk-adjusted) profits.

Hey @MichaelWheatley, I think this can resolve 'No' --
I may resolve early if at the end of the year there seems to be no investigation or lawsuits forthcoming.
AFAIK, the class-action lawsuit referenced in the comments was withdrawn just a few days after it was filed, and all of that was over a year ago at this point. [Source]
I'm unable to find any other reports of investigation or lawsuits since then, and I wonder if you might have intended to set this market's close date as 2024-12-31 instead of 2025.
