In Dumb Money, Robinhood founders Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt played an integral role in the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, but their story didn’t stop when the credits rolled. The comedy Dumb Money tells a fictionalized version of the 2021 short squeeze of GameStop’s stocks caused by a group of Reddit retail investors who wanted to screw over big hedge fund managers. During the COVID-19 lockdown, this movement – led by a YouTuber called Roaring Kitty – allowed many users on r/WallStreetBets to fight back against the big guys on Wall Street.
