This could easily bankrupt at least one very large, previously successful fund

Please don't leave out that this is a fund notorious for shorting, and part of that shorting is (allegedly) manipulating the market so the share price will go down, ie destroying a company for profit. It's not like grandma and grandad's retirement portfolios are at risk, this is some greedy already way too rich fucks trying to destroy a company to get even richer, and a million monkeys have thrown a wrench in the works.

You said it better than I could've. A million monkeys throwing wrenches is an understatement of WSB's MO.
