But they turned WallStreetBets, a subreddit focused on risky financial trading, into one of the most disruptive forces to bubble up from the fringes of the internet.  This crude and unassuming message board harnessed the power of memes and trolling to create a new kind of online community. The group intertwined with the distrust and turmoil of our times and spoke to a generation of young men who were struggling to find their place in the world.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply reported and fast moving, \u003cem\u003eThe Trolls of Wall Street\u003c\/em\u003e is the suspenseful story of the people who made and lost millions, battling with each other—and with Wall Street—for power and status.
