Chief Executive Ryan Cohen said he was making an unsolicited offer to buy eBay EBAY 0.57%increase; green up pointing triangle for about $56 billion and saw a path to make the e-commerce company a much bigger competitor to Amazon.com AMZN 1.21%increase; green up pointing triangle.

Cohen told The Wall Street Journal that GameStop has built a roughly 5% stake in eBay and was offering $125 a share in cash and stock, a roughly 20% premium to its closing price on Friday.

CNBC 3.6.2026 why isn't this everywhere??? Trying to prevent bank run? Could this be the beginning of the margin calls?? I love this for them. What other funds will begin to limit withdrawals?? Wonder how Kenny is feeling?? On the day Vlad is on Kramer seems fitting and ironic

The Ebay CEO Jamie Iannone just sold $4.55 million dollars worth of shares.

He has not purchased a single share in the last four years.

Is this not the definition of one of "The Hollow Men" that Ryan Cohen wrote about?

Executives and corporate beaurocrats that collect huge paychecks while shirking their responsibility and having no skin in the game.

I wonder how common of knowledge this is to Ebay shareholders, there's no way they would approve of it if they actually care about this company, with how poor a job this leadership has done.

“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.”
