If I understand correctly, if the Reddit buyers all stick together and refuse to sell, the hedge fund guys are screwed as they need to return all those shares they "borrowed" or face a margin call - which they evidently cannot afford.
anyone remember the silver runnup and collapse when Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market in 1980

thing is, its not just Reddit guys anymore..its spreading like wild fire, and some big hitters are throwing in... they dont know how to stop it...over seas markets too....
It's even worse than that. If the Reddit buyers all stick together, the hedge fund guys may be forced to buy the GameStop shares at $5,000/share instead of just the super-inflated price of $380/share it reached yesterday. LOL.
