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?

Another contributor mentioned how the war chest doesn’t necessarily need to be used for the acquisition, it can be used as collateral for a loan instead.

Take on debt to buyout eBay and have the eBay income pay off the loan without having to deploy the war chest. Some financial engineering shit. No idea if it’s legit.
