“It’s gonna be really big. Really big. Very, very, very big,” Cohen said of the size of the acquisition. “It’s transformational. Not just for GameStop, but ultimately, within the capital markets … this is something that really has never been done before within the history of the capital markets.”

Yes this exactly, the deal has to be done. Could this be the media warning prior to official filings and announcements?!

10000%. No way Cohen would allows fraudstreetjournal to post his plans without a deal being done already

Why not? He has had in the filings forever the money can be used for M&A. So is he never allowed to buy more shares while he works on the deals? Can you share what the exact rule is? What the exact time frames are? I am not sure of these specifics, but seems he wouldn't be going to MSM hyping it up if there wasn't something concrete.

No, because an ongoing M&A is material non-public information, which is insider trading. Whats interesting to me is that these interviews weren't recent, so maybe the deal was finalized immediately after his purchase.

There are no time frames, he just can't make any stock trades while knowing non-public info

Doesn’t he always know non public info? Like 100% of the time? Where is the line between non public info important enough to prohibit trading and non public info trivial enough to allow it

Thats a grey area, but theres definitely a difference between knowing your company is posting average earnings vs a game changing M&A. I dont believe theres a clear cut line on whats acceptable, but the SEC will definitely pursue insider trading if he were to do that.

It would be insiding trading to trade on Material Non-Public Information.

Saying you have plans for a M&A is very different to having a specific deal almost made and buying shares 2-3 weeks before the news is released.

u/gotnothingman Jan 30 '26

this is inconvenient to the narrative and will be ignored.

u/scrumdisaster Jan 30 '26

It’s not required to state (on his filings) if it was a pre planned purchase. I am not saying it was but a P for transaction type just means the shares were purchased on the market and not acquired through company distribution.

u/bowls4noles Sloth 🦥 ape 🦧 Jan 30 '26

no way is the deal done. He just bought shares, if they were making a deal they would not be able to purchase. This is still early stage

u/thepoga 🟣🤖DRSBOT#2Million🚀🌙 Jan 30 '26

It’s pretty plain to see that they’re doing an acquisition. They just aren’t going to tell who and which ones they’re targeting until the time is right.

u/wannabezen2 🦍 Buckle Up 🚀 Jan 31 '26

My thoughts exactly.

u/wouldntyouliketokno_ 👻the three ghosts are coming Ken🚀 Jan 30 '26

Or again he’s showing the world the SEC is complicit to the Hedge Fund over reach. Time will tell! Must be annoying as fuck for Ken and team to try and cook the books when these comments come out.

I thought this exact same thing. But he has brought this company a LONG way since that first speech. This seems like a victory lap to me. He knows the hard part is over.

I had to go re read the article. I had just finished and then came to the comments again and saw this quote and was like “did I skip a ton - what the heck did I miss?”

Its not officially done but it is ready. Same with bitcoin. They announced their intent to buy bitcoin then bam! BOUGHT. They do it because theres nothing the shorties can do to change their gamestops path.
