Keith Gill, the trader linked to the 2021 GME short squeeze, has returned to Reddit claiming he’s made a big bet on GameStop, sending the stock’s price surging overnight markets.
GameStop (GME) surged over 19% in overnight trading after Keith Gill, known as “Roaring Kitty,” posted to Reddit that he’s holding $181.4 million worth of GME stock and call options.
Gill, the trader widely cited as a major influence on the 2021 GME short squeeze, posted to Reddit on his “DeepFuckingValue” account on June 2 for the first time since April 2021.
He shared a screenshot apparently showing he purchased 5 million GME shares for $115.7 million and put $65.7 million into call options, betting that GME would be at least $20 a share on June 21.
