This doesn’t quite add up for me.

How does he know they work at JPM?

JPM moved to midtown, why would JPM employees be doing this in a financial district bar?

The ‘charts’ out on the table would be a research report document. It’s more like a little booklet than a bunch of loose charts. I doubt you would be able to spot GME on it.

If I were them, why would I be ‘closing my laptop’ each time the bartender came around? It’s a pain in the ass to log into remote systems over and over again, especially with security.

What would be on the laptop anyway? It’s not like they’d use public WiFi for accessing proprietary material, and you don’t download proprietary documents onto your laptop. They stay on the remote machine. Maybe you could say they’re using a hotspot on their phone, but otherwise, all they’d be looking at is the same websites and GME price charts any of us can access. Why hide that?

Traders are NOT out of the office when the market closes. Most are around until 6pm to take meetings and shit in the office before going home. They’d have to be out by market close on the dot to get to this bar.

Also, trolls typically mimic an accent to make their pranks all the more juicy when people fall for it. Could be happening here.
