I don't think anyone but the institutions realistically can or should be able to be charged. Fraud requires reliance on the information. No one on social media was selling a product, and there was a very clear intent amongst many that while it may have been intended to hurt hedge funds, it was all about taking the stand.<p>That's speech. WSB is not your or anyone's agent in the long run. Now I'd like to know who was funding the Silver thing. If that can be traced back to a hedge fund or financial institution who should all know better than to do something like that, then you may have got a case.<p>If it was just the media and a woeful lapse in journalistic integrity... Well... Back to speech again.
