When Netflix acquiesced and wired the money, Rinsch sent most of it directly to his personal Charles Schwab account, and made big bets on biotech firm Gilead Sciences, and on shorting the S&P 500 index. In just a few weeks he’d lost $5.9 million. Cutting his losses, Rinsch pulled $4 million from his Schwab account and put it directly into Dogecoin. Wow, such invest.

Hahaha they gave $millions to a guy from r/wallstreetbets

He turned the $4m doge into like $17m didn't he?

I don't know, but that would mean he was luckier, not less stupid.
