It's a clickbaiter's joke. He tells you that, right at the beginning that it's a joke for entertainment value only. "Alpha Investments" is "Dude who sells his magic cards on ebay, tries to funnel people to his patreon, and posts outrageous stuff to get attention for clicks." When the taco-hat-wearing guy tells you a friend of a friend of a friend said they were speculating maybe something could happen some day...don't give him more clicks.

That's one of the main reasons to doubt the story: basically nobody is in a position to both care enough to purchase WotC and have the resources. Nevermind that Hasbro doesn't sell, they acquire.Way to kill my dreams, I'd love to see Hasbro sell WotC to a better company, still 2021 is way too far away.
I wonder, who would be in a position to buy such a company as WotC?
It's one guy who successfully started a rumor, seeing how it has spread to both ENWorld and reddit!It's not a rumour. It's one guy trying to start a rumour.

People do understand that WotC makes Magic: The Gathering, right? One of the biggest cash cows in the games industry? Hazbro would be absolutely insane to give that up for any amount of money.
