      This is the same thing that happened to TOYS R US, folks - remember? Hedge funds *cause* businesses to fail so their shorts pay out. It's not strictly illegal, but it's a gigantic scam and the reality behind MOST of the "retail is dying because you bought a TV on Amazon" B.S.https://twitter.com/ashleylynch/status/1355057144744144898 …

      One of the wildest things I learned through this whole Gamestop thing is that Gamestop has never been a failing business and it feels like for years and years we've been told that it's a company on the brink of bankruptcy.

      Sometimes this ends up mixing up hedge funds and private equity in various ways, though.

      They're interconnected at points, but Toys R Us was taken private by a group led by Bain Capital, therefore taking it out of the equities market and into the hands of private equity managers. But nobody was in a position to short it because it wasn't being traded.

      Yeah but shorts on the public market drive the stock price down to the point where going private is affordable And the private equity firm is itself financed by public investors and acting on their behalf It's all one big system

          It is the same system, but I mean - Toys R Us and Gamestop were very clearly both businesses whose model was collapsing around them. And usually a buyout spikes a stock price, so the shorts would have gotten burned when TRU went to Bain.

          Plus, I mean, Bain makes their management fees either way, but they would definitely make MORE money if Toys R Us was successful and they were able to take it public again. Their incentives are different (and more risky) but they weren't trying to kill it.
