Having owned a couple of businesses I can tell you the people in the trade regardless of the business are a clannish lot. In general the customers, the retail trade are looked down on. Just about any time would get broken to favor “the trade” over some retail stranger. It sounds like rules, customary practices and possibly mass were broken. But these traders are big contributors so, likely prosecutorial discretion will be liberally employed. The little guys will end up with the short straw.
The reddit kiddie charged a foxhole and found a few enemy combatants sleeping and nailed them. Now they think they are a 101st Airborne division. No hedge fund will be found sleeping again.
