I wonder if, with the help of SEC and Fed.gov strong-arming the brokers, large hedge funds were already able to get out of their positions?

Beyond a shadow of a doubt. If not, the WSB crowd would have been rounded up and paraded before us on MSM with tried and true statements like "so and so was arrested at his/her compound" (emphasis on compound). Narrative creators gotta do what they do, right?

The fact that they have not been rounded up tells me that someone placated the (sore) losers.
