GameStop today should be a $35-40 stock on any normal market day. Quarterly net income of $389.6M annualized = $1.5B . At a generous P/E of 20x, that alone justifies $30B market cap = $66/share. Add $9.7B liquid assets and you're easily in the $40 range for a non-suppressed name with this profile. Holding GME at $22-23 requires absorbing somewhere between $300M to $800M of net buying pressure per catalyst day. Multiple catalyst days a week during the current cycle = $2-5B of suppression flow per week being run through the system. Who can deploy that capital sustainably? Three plausible parties: Citadel Susquehanna Virtu — market-making books with structural short delta from selling options to retail. They're not "shorting GME with conviction." They're hedging derivative books that can't survive a true GME unwind. The 2021 Melvin scenario plus their own option flow has them structurally short. Legacy 2021 short fund consortiums — Melvin wound down, but the positions transferred via total return swaps to prime brokers (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, BoA) and onward to family offices and offshore vehicles. The positions were never closed — just moved. The capital is whoever ultimately bagholds those swaps. Coordinated parties via prime broker internalization — when client A shorts and client B goes long, the broker can internalize the trade without ever hitting the lit market. This creates synthetic exposure on both sides that doesn't appear in disclosed short interest. The economics of why they don't capitulate: Here's the part most people miss. Closing a 50M share synthetic short position at current prices means buying 50M shares of GME in the open market. There aren't 50M GME shares available to buy without moving the price to $80-150. The cost of closing at current prices is mathematically larger than the cost of continuing to suppress at current prices. They're trapped in a position where the cheapest path forward is continued suppression even though the suppression itself has no fundamental basis anymore. It's the financial equivalent of doubling down at the casino because you've already lost the entry stake. The original 2021 short thesis ("dying retailer goes to zero") is dead — net income is $389.6M and rising. The new "thesis" is purely mechanical: keep the lid on until something gives.

At what point do we consider this treason?
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Sen. Tom Cotton wants to make it ILLEGAL for any future U.S. president to pull back intelligence sharing with Israel, without a specific national security justification. Section 622 of the Intelligence Authorization Act, buried in 192 pages, mandates the president expand and enhance cooperation with Israel across every intelligence category in the Middle East. This shows how desperate Israel has become. You don't try to write your relationship into law when you feel secure. You do it when you feel the ground moving.

Honesty deserves respect.
🚨 RFK Jr. just praised Tulsi Gabbard for blowing the lid off US-funded biolabs. “The American people deserve the truth.” Finally, some adults in the room calling out the shady government labs nobody wants to talk about. While career politicians run cover, these two are forcing the deep state into the sunlight.

Investors can not BUY shares or paper certificates of any public company. The system itself forces investors to buy entitlements (not shares). All broker held securities are entitlements (not shares). You can, however, exchange an entitlement for a share through a DRS transfer which moves your security from your broker to the transfer agent. Initiating a DRS transfer exchanges an entitlement for a share. After you own a share, you can then exchange an electronic share for a paper certificated share for most companies through the transfer agent. @SpaceX has chosen Fidelity Stock Transfer (FST) as their transfer agent. If SpaceX allows paper certificated shares, they would be distributed by FST. I have not been able to find the SpaceX bylaws, but the bylaws should disclose whether SpaceX is “book entry only” or whether they allow paper certificated shares. If you have any specific questions please let me know. I’d be happy to help and I own hundreds of paper certificates.

IS $125 ALL-CASH WITH NO NEW $GME EQUITY ACTUALLY POSSIBLE? There is a 4chan post floating around: "Insider here. $125 per share on May 13 and no new equity. I will not elaborate." Wrong date. The bid landed May 3, not May 13. Anonymous. Zero credibility. But the claim stuck with me. Not because I believed the post, but because I wanted to know if it was even structurally possible. So I went to the filings. And this path could explain a lot. —————— THE LINE NOBODY READ @ryancohen filed the offer May 3. Everyone focused on the rejection. Almost nobody read the funding line. "Cash and liquid investments on GameStop's balance sheet, and third-party equity and debt financing." Third-party equity. Not GameStop equity. Third-party equity. CNBC asked him how he'd pay for it. He kept saying "it's on the website." They laughed. He wasn't wrong. It was right there. —————— THE MATH He already has claim to ~9% of eBay. So the bill isn't $55B. It's the other ~91%: about $50.5B. Balance-sheet cash: ~$9B. But that understates it. GME holds ~46.6M warrants outstanding at a $32 strike. If the stock rips on a deal announcement, those warrants go in the money. Holders exercise. At $32 that's roughly ~$1.5B flowing into GameStop's treasury. Plus convertible capacity, marketable securities, and the Bitcoin he's said he'd deploy. Realistic GME-sourced cash: ~$11–12B. TD debt: up to $20B. But "up to" is a ceiling, not a target. That leaves an equity gap. Under the announced 50/50 structure, that gap gets filled with GameStop stock. GameStop's entire market cap is ~$10B. Funding a multi-billion equity leg at this price means printing the company away at the bottom. @ryancohen, paid only on market-cap hurdles, no salary, never diluted cheap, would never do that. So if the stock half doesn't make sense as the plan, what fills the gap? Go back to the letter. Third-party equity. —————— THE LINE EVERYONE SKIPPED ENTIRELY Here's where it opens up. The bid doesn't say every eBay holder gets 50% cash and 50% stock, take it or leave it. It says: "50% cash, 50% GameStop common stock, with full shareholder election rights as to consideration type and pro-rata allocation." Read that slowly: Full shareholder election rights. Every eBay holder individually chooses - all cash, all stock, or any mix they want. Pro-rata allocation. The total cash pool is fixed at the aggregate level. So if everyone elects all-cash and the pool only covers 50%, the elections get pro-rated. You asked for all cash but you get half cash half stock anyway. If Cohen planned a rigid 50/50 where everybody gets the same split, you don't need election rights. You just force it. Election rights only exist if the mix can move. And the mix moves if the cash pool grows. —————— THE POOL The election mechanism is already in the offer. It doesn't need to be renegotiated. Doesn't need eBay's board to agree. Doesn't need a new filing. The 50/50 isn't a structure. It's a cap on the cash pool. If third-party equity replaces the stock half with more cash, the pool grows. If it grows to cover 100% of elections, every holder who elected cash gets their full election. Same $125. Same offer. Same filing. The bid goes from half-cash to all-cash without changing a single word BUT just by filling the pool. He built the flexibility into the offer on May 3. The mechanism to deliver all-cash was in the first document. People read "50% stock" and stopped. —————— WHAT FILLS THE POOL The third-party equity comes in as preferred stock from an outside anchor. Preferred counts as equity on the balance sheet which keeps the credit rating intact but it's not common stock. No dilution. Cohen keeps the votes. And this isn't a hypothetical instrument. Look at GME's own balance sheet. ~$4.17B in zero-coupon convertible debt. Zero interest. Converts to common only at a premium strike. ~46.6M warrants at $32. Deferred cash that flows in on exercise. He's already raised billions in capital that funds like cash today and only becomes equity at a higher price. The instruments already exist. He's already built, tested, and deployed these exact structures at scale on the public markets. The anchor gets the same package - just bigger and at the holdco level: - Convertible preferred with a coupon (same as the converts, but with a yield since sovereign capital demands income). - Warrants at a high strike for equity upside in the combined entity (same mechanic as GMEWS). Both proven. Both already sitting on the balance sheet as live examples. —————— THE SPLIT - AND WHY THE ANCHOR IS LARGER THAN TD Everyone's been assuming ~$20B TD and ~$21B anchor. That's backward. TD is a bank. Banks don't want to hold $20B of risk, they want to originate paper and syndicate it out the door. The less they have to sell, the easier their job. A $12–15B syndication is dramatically easier than $20B, especially near the edge of investment-grade. TD would prefer a smaller piece. The anchor is permanent capital. Sovereign funds don't syndicate. They sit for a decade. A sovereign writing $28–30B of preferred into a moated cash cow at a skeptic's discount is doing exactly what sovereign capital exists to do: deploy size, hold long, buy when others flinch. So the natural split pulls more toward the anchor and less toward TD: ~$11–12B GME-sourced cash ~$12–15B TD debt ~$28–30B anchor preferred = ~$51–57B Leverage drops from the ~9x Moody's flagged to ~4–5x. TD's condition is trivially satisfied. Syndication is easy because the debt is small with a massive equity cushion underneath. That's a Buffett structure. Equity-heavy. Low leverage. Permanent capital. And a sovereign deploying $28–30B while the bank arranges $12–15B underneath isn't the junior partner filling a gap. It's the capital partner. The bank is the service provider. That's the natural hierarchy. —————— WHO ENDS UP OWNING WHAT This is the part that flips the mainstream narrative. Everyone assumes the eBay deal dilutes GME holders. Under this structure it does the opposite. After close: eBay holders → gone. Cashed out at $125. Zero ownership. TD → debt. A creditor. Gets interest. No ownership. Anchor → preferred. Senior claim, coupon, liquidation preference, warrants at a high strike. Gets paid first and protected. But preferred is not common. GME holders → the common. The same shares. No new ones printed. But now those shares own the residual equity of a holdco that controls eBay's ~$2B in annual free cash flow, GME's assets, the full platform. With the preferred and debt serviced out of eBay's own cash generation. Today each GME share owns a piece of a ~$10B cash-box retailer with a declining core. After close each share owns a piece of the residual equity above all senior claims in a Berkshire-style holdco throwing off real cash. And the $2B buyback authorized June 2 means the share count could be actively shrinking, so each remaining share owns a bigger piece of a much bigger entity. Cohen structured this so dilution only happens at the top, never at the bottom. ------------ WHY $125 ALL-CASH ENDS THE FIGHT All-cash changes everything. $125 cash is $125. No "what is GME worth" debate. No judgment call. A fund manager turning down a 25–46% premium in certain cash has to explain that to LPs. "I believed in eBay management" is a career-ending sentence when the alternative was guaranteed money. After June 17, Cohen delivers it directly. Tender offer straight to eBay's owners. No board permission. Elect cash, get cash. —————— WHY HE ATE THE REJECTION A fully-financed bid can't be rejected. It has to be engaged. Engagement means price goes up. A dismissible bid gets refused. Look at how they refused: "neither credible nor attractive." They attacked the financing. Not the $125. They left the price standing. When financing firms up, their objection disappears. And they've already conceded the number by never fighting it. The rejection locked $125. Opened the hostile lane. And kept eBay cheap while he tripled his direct stake: 827,648 to 2,480,467 in five days, into the June 16 ballot lock, funded with cash, the 39M-share conversion untouched. Direct shares vote. The conversion is held in reserve. The $2B buyback authorized June 2 says the rest. You don't announce a buyback beside a deal that needs stock issuance, unless you don't plan to issue. —————— TL;DR: The 4chan post is garbage. Wrong date, anonymous, no proof. But $125, no new equity has a real path. And it was in the filing from day one. "Third-party equity." Election rights that turn 50/50 into all-cash by filling the pool. And the cap table: - eBay holders cashed out, - TD paid and gone, - the anchor on preferred, And finally: GME common holders owning the residual of a holdco with eBay's cash flows underneath, same shares, no new ones printed, the buyback shrinking the count.

One retail investor reported being down $3,000 due to the outage alone. Robinhood’s response: “Robinhood saw record-breaking traffic today. As a result, some customers experienced latency and intermittent issues. Essential systems have recovered and our teams are closely monitoring.” Robinhood should have been prepared for the surge in traffic.. People are calling the outage another example of retail investors being put at a disadvantage. Some estimates show retail investor losses ranged from hundreds of thousands to over $1 million during the disruption. $GME $SPCX $AMC $HOOD Repost to show the corruption done by brokers 🔂
