5 million shares of GameStop and 120,000 call options ...

.....

Gill had been inactive on social media for three years before he posted a meme of a person sitting up and leaning forward in a chair on X last month. He followed that post up with a series of video clips before sharing a screenshot last weekend that appeared to show that he was holding 5 million shares of GameStop and 120,000 call options expiring later this month.

Gill was originally discovered on YouTube where he would stream weekly shows of himself researching GameStop and providing reasons why he believed it was undervalued and poised to trade higher. He eventually exploded on the scene when he starting sharing his positions on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets as GameStop shares squeezed to the upside. Tomorrow will mark his first YouTube stream in three years.

It’s worth noting that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly looking into recent options trading activity in GameStop and Gill is facing increased scrutiny from Massachusetts securities regulators over potential manipulation.
