RE: Apple Trader loses nearly $2.5 MILLION bankroll then tries to "GET IT BACK" on one BALL-BUSTING BET!
If it makes you feel better the whole thing was made up. He was trolling the /r/wallstreetbets subreddit.
I was just about to post an update on it, so I might as well just add it here...
not only did the trade not work out (who would have thought!) with AAPL currently trading over $125/share (Apple beats Q4 expectations, boosted by strong iPhone sales), but apparently someone went through a bunch of his YouTube videos and found a reference to his IB account number which starts with a "D" (indicating an IB Demo Account) and can be linked to the same account he claimed to use for his YOLO option trades:

So, just another self-aggrandizing douche bag. On the positive side, the "lessons" in humility and sound risk-management that can be gained from this "episode" still remain.
I have no idea why someone would spend their time coming up with such an elaborate and scandalous story just to provoke strangers on the internet. Wait, did someone say something about narcissism?
