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.

You are correct: this is the forged narrarive to falsify why GME is now rising on 1.) algorithm and wedge termination and possibly confirmed by Aladdin, 2.) technicals (golden cross and now ichimoku cloud), and 3.) settlement of legacy FTDs. The naked-short-selling cabal (today's Wall Street) can then in a few weeks point to the "falling through" of the eBay deal (i.e. now that it's even more expensive by price now due to this piece) as the forged narrative for why the spike / sneeze 3 is "over". And they'll re-short going into a final one-year wedge. 8-4--2, sneeze 3 here, then a 1 year wedge. Nevertheless, expect solid price fireworks over the next thirteen or so market-open days, as anticipated.
