No.
What he would get in trouble for is if he advised people to buy a stock but apparently he always put a disclaimer.

So most he likely in trouble for is making videos while working at a financial firm as apparently he is supposed to tell them and they are accountable for him even if he says in his videos that it is not financial advice or something.

Congress just wants testimony of what was going on though.

Congress could be dealing with actual issues but will instead pick on the little guy

This. The rich and powerful are desperate to make a example out of someone involved to send a message to the masses that them being successful and rising up will not be ignored and tolerated.

Andrew Calamari, a lawyer with Finn Dixon & Herling and a former director of the Securities and Exchange Commissions New York office, said it was too soon to determine whether Mr. Gill had violated any securities regulations. But Mr. Gill could have violated company rules if he did not receive permission for his posts on Reddit and YouTube.
Firms dont allow employees to go out and make predictions on stock, he said of employees who arent analysts. Many financial firms also require employees to disclose if they have brokerage accounts with other firms to monitor their trading activities, he added.

Mr. Gill, as a securities broker, is registered with FINRA. His broker registration does not indicate he has any outside business activities. FINRA rules prohibit brokers from filing incomplete or misleading information about themselves.
Its unclear if MassMutual has any regulatory issues itself. Firms can be liable for failing to supervise employees, but if Mr. Gill circumvented the firms processes for monitoring employees use of social media, then it may not be at fault.

But he prob just get fired and lose his license is all and he is a millionaire now so, meh.
