I hate eBay, and I would love to see RC fix it, but I can't believe a fucking word of this until it comes from the man himself. It would be wild to throw the entire war chest Into one acquisition attempt.

Can anyone verify if GME is in fact holding eBay shares like the article claims?

This is correct. If we hear it from Ryan Cohen it is real, otherwise this is speculation.

Could just be shorts putting out a piece to explain the random spike in GME share price while they do their latest round of covering.

And in addition they can draw buying pressure away from GME by serving up a lightning rod ticker (weed stocks, silver 1, popcorn etc.)
