Charlotte Hornets buyer Gabe Plotkin portrayed in comedy about GameStop drama

One of the investors in the group that’s buying the Charlotte Hornets from Michael Jordan is depicted in an upcoming comedy about the GameStop drama of 2021.

Sony Pictures dropped the first trailer for the film, called “Dumb Money,” last week, showing Seth Rogen portraying Gabe Plotkin, whose hedge fund suffered steep losses during the trading frenzy. Plotkin’s Melvin Capital Management never recovered and, in 2022, informed its investors it would be shutting down.
