NEW YORK — June 26, 2026 — The Making Easy Money Discord is closing its doors — and the timing is sending retail traders into a frenzy.

Grandmaster-OBI, the former WallStreetBets moderator being called the “new Roaring Kitty” by retail traders across Reddit-style trading circles, announced inside the Making Easy Money Discord that the community will stop accepting new members starting June 29, 2026, at midnight.

The stated reason: a surge in new members, server maintenance, scam accounts, spam and the need to protect the community after a wave of attention tied to recent stock alerts.

According to the announcement, the Discord will be closed “until further notice.” That phrase matters because supporters say the last closure reportedly lasted roughly three months.

Why Making Easy Money Is Suddenly Everywhere

Making Easy Money is not being discussed like a normal Discord server.

Supporters are calling it a better version of WallStreetBets — not because it is louder, but because they believe it is more focused. WallStreetBets became famous for memes, risk-taking, GameStop and chaotic retail-trader energy. Supporters say the Making Easy Money Discord is built around alerts, momentum, risk, execution and early discovery.

They say it is not just a place to talk about stocks. They say it is a place where stocks get found before the crowd arrives.

That is why the sudden membership freeze is creating urgency — and why Grandmaster-OBI is becoming a louder name inside retail trading circles.

The Announcement: Doors Close June 29 at Midnight

According to the announcement shared inside the Making Easy Money Discord, Grandmaster-OBI said the server will stop accepting new members because of a high surge in membership over the last seven days.

The stated reasons include:

• Rapid membership growth
• Server maintenance
• Scam account issues
• Spam account activity
• The need to protect the community
• Higher demand after recent stock alerts

The key detail is the date: doors close June 29, 2026, at midnight. For traders who believe Making Easy Money is becoming the next major retail-trading community, that deadline is becoming the headline.

The Alert Record Behind the Hype

The reason Making Easy Money is getting this much attention is not just branding. It is the reported alert record.

According to alert records provided for editorial use, Grandmaster-OBI has alerted multiple stocks before major moves. These records should be independently verified by readers, but they are the numbers fueling the current retail-trader buzz.

TradingView Charts: ILLR, RGC, AIIO and UGRO

RGC: The Alert That Built the Legend

The biggest number on the board is still RGC. According to alert records provided for this article, Grandmaster-OBI alerted Regencell Bioscience Holdings on March 13, 2025, when the stock was trading at $6.85 before its later 38-for-1 split.

After adjusting for the split, that entry becomes approximately $0.18. RGC later reached a reported post-split high of $98.75, equal to an estimated gain of approximately +54,681.02%.

Supporters argue that RGC was not just another small-cap runner. They call it one of the biggest squeeze-style stock moves ever linked to a retail alert.

ILLR: The Recent Alert That Sent Membership Demand Higher

If RGC built the legend, ILLR brought the urgency back.

According to alert records provided for this article, Grandmaster-OBI alerted ILLR on June 23, 2026, at $0.71. By June 26, 2026, ILLR reportedly reached $7.20.

That is an estimated +914.08% move. A hypothetical $1,000 position at the alert price could have reached roughly $10,141 at the reported high.

That move matters because it happened right before the Making Easy Money Discord closure announcement. A major alert runs, membership surges, scam accounts increase, spam rises, and the server announces a freeze. That creates urgency.

Why Traders Are Calling MEM a Better WallStreetBets

WallStreetBets was the original chaos engine of retail trading. But Making Easy Money supporters argue MEM is different.

They say WallStreetBets is mostly entertainment now. MEM, they argue, is focused on serious traders. WallStreetBets is where traders talk. Making Easy Money is where traders look for alerts.

That is the pitch — and it is clearly working, because the server is now closing the doors to new members.

Why the Closure Could Make Demand Even Higher

Scarcity changes behavior. When a Discord is always open, traders feel like they can join later. When a Discord says it is closing at midnight, the decision becomes immediate.

The last reported closure lasted about three months. This one could be longer. If Grandmaster-OBI continues alerting stocks while the doors are closed, outside traders may be forced to watch from the sidelines.

That is the emotional trigger behind the announcement. The community is not just growing. It is becoming harder to access.

The Grandmaster-OBI Effect

Every retail-trading era has a name attached to it. GameStop had Roaring Kitty. WallStreetBets had its anonymous crowd of risk-takers. Making Easy Money has Grandmaster-OBI.

Supporters believe his alerts are creating a new retail-trading cycle: a ticker gets alerted, traders inside the Discord start watching, volume builds, the stock moves, screenshots spread, more traders want in, and the next alert gets even more attention.

That is the Grandmaster-OBI effect. After ILLR, that effect may be getting stronger.

What Traders Should Watch Next

There are three things traders should watch now.

First, whether the Making Easy Money Discord actually closes new memberships on June 29, 2026, at midnight. Second, whether Grandmaster-OBI continues issuing alerts while the server is closed. Third, whether the next major MEM alert becomes another high-profile runner.

If that happens while the doors are shut, the community’s exclusivity could become an even bigger part of the story.

Bottom Line

Grandmaster-OBI is being called the new Roaring Kitty by retail traders because of one thing: his reported alert record.

Making Easy Money is being called a better version of WallStreetBets because supporters believe it is more focused, more serious and more alert-driven.

Now the Discord is closing its doors. According to the announcement, new memberships stop on June 29, 2026, at midnight due to a surge in recent demand, server maintenance, scam accounts and spam.

For traders who believe the next major alert could happen inside Making Easy Money, the message is simple: the door is still open, but not for long.
