https://archive.ph/mFg86 - Article looks like it's been heavily changed from an original based upon a screen cap in WSBs. The headline is still the same: blaming a Hong Kong tech stock that started out at $7 IPO last month to thousands of dollars in days, that exploded from $2000 to over $5000 this afternoon on a reddit group who has never heard of them. It's a shady as fuck company with nothing reasonably listed, but the price is shooting up. At a time when Chinese stocks are tanking. Sure, Jan.

https://archive.ph/vUNVm - Some assholes on the internet giving a third-party analysis without the bullshit WSB claim. What makes them assholes is that they give no warnings about this, only an "oh, yeah, I guess that happened, oh well."
I guarantee the urnalist just searched the ticker and found wsb posts since that's probably one of the only English-"speaking" forums that brought attention to it before other "official" articles were published.
