How a 20-year-old student made $110mn riding the meme stock wave

The FT report of Freeman’s windfall on Wednesday set off a media storm, with outlets the world over picking up the story as social media sites lit up with the news. But the tale of a university student hitting the meme stock jackpot also prompted widespread scepticism.

On Twitter and Reddit, questions abounded, from whether Freeman really existed or was acting as a proxy for someone else to how a young, amateur investor could have made so much money on a highly concentrated bet in such a short space of time.

Chief among the questions was how he had raised $27mn of capital in the first place through a vehicle registered in the cowboy town of Sheridan, Wyoming, a state that has become a magnet for people setting up limited liability companies because of its low taxes and strict privacy rules.
