people in /r/wsb are assuming these stories are planted. Given the ridiculously nervous delivery of the story when it broke by the chap on TV (has to be seen to be believed) I can understand how people would be suspicious but idk.

The suggestion is that Friday is apparently the day when the bets actually become due and then we'll actually know if Melvin did cover or lied about covering and actually doubled down.




They also parsed the actual language they said, they didn't say cover their entire short. Maybe they just closed one contract.
