Came here to say exactly this. Could it not be more obvious? Who the fuck is going to pay them half a million dollars for 30-60 minutes were it not for a pay back or future guarantee? It's ridiculous.

I'm counting nearly $1 million from Citadel alone, the company that's bailing out Melvin Capital. And it's believed that the pressure for all of these companies dropping the ability to buy GME is coming from the SEC. For the billions at stake, the money is peanuts.
