Account active since Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts slammed hedge funds and investors criticizing the traders buying up GameStop stock for treating the stock market "like their own personal casino" and called for stricter regulations. "With stocks soaring while millions are out of work and struggling to pay their bills, it's not news that the stock market doesn't reflect our actual economy." Warren said on Twitter.
