I literally just heard about this and the story is still developing. Mostly posting before I turn in so I don't forget. Will update as more information becomes available. If any of you hear anything, please contribute.
EDIT: As far as I can tell, two very active mods, Zjz and jamsi, have been removed by other mods who have been inactive up until recently. They probably resurfaced with the popularity of the sub in the wake of the GME buy, potentially with prodding by Reddit admins. Trying to confirm more info.
I'm a hate group researcher on Reddit specifically, and a moderator on /r/AgainstHateSubreddits. /r/WallStreetBets' "Ironic bigotry" culture is exactly what we educate people about, as a gateway to recruitment.

Staring into the Abyss
This bitch needs to fuck off with that disingenuous "gateway to recruitment" bullshit.
Really, if you're a diamond-handed ape retard who eats crayons and just likes the stonks, you're going to become a Nazi? Or what?

She's probably a communist and she is, ironically but not unpredictably, once again essentially shilling for the establishment and billionaires.
These people are pathetic clowns, but also dangerous, since they've been allowed power.

EDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetstest/ was started as a lifeboat by one of the ousted mods.

You remember when we were teens and authority figures called weed a "gateway drug" and we laughed at them?
Why aren't people laughing at this shit more?

The only reason that sub came back from private was wsbets.win coming online.
Didn't a bunch of us predict this would happen? Hostile tranny mods for everyone!
You win today's "It Sucks Always Being right" award.
What an unexpected surprise.
Ahh, the reddit special!
EDIT (04FEB2021): So I'm hearing some scuttlebutt about a movie deal being involved with the subreddit takeover?
