🚨 GameStop’s latest amended Schedule 13D on eBay contains a development that I think many investors are overlooking.
It’s the HSR condition.
GameStop now reports:
• 827,648 shares owned directly
• 39,046,658 shares underlying Put/Call Pair contracts
• 39,874,306 total referenced shares
• Approximately 9.0% of eBay
But here’s what caught my attention:
The filing states that the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act condition was satisfied on June 3, 2026.
Why does that matter?
Prior filings indicated these derivative positions could not be physically settled until the HSR condition was met.
Now that it has been satisfied, the contractual barrier to physical settlement appears to have been removed.
In plain English:
Before June 3rd, GameStop had significant economic exposure to eBay.
After June 3rd, those same contracts appear eligible for physical settlement under their terms.
That’s a different situation.
This is also occurring alongside an active acquisition proposal from GameStop for eBay.
HSR approval is not merger approval.
It is the U.S. antitrust review process that large acquisitions must pass before certain transactions can be completed. Satisfying the HSR condition means a key regulatory hurdle referenced in the derivative agreements has been CLEARED.
But one fact is undeniable:
GameStop’s latest filing shows approximately 39.9 million shares of eBay exposure and confirms the HSR condition tied to physical settlement has been satisfied.
🚨 BREAKING $GME 13D JUST FILED
Stake: 9.0% of $eBay (39,874,306 shares)
827,648 shares owned directly (~$91 million spent)
~39 million shares via Put/Call Pairs (derivatives) with Toronto-Dominion Bank
BREAKING: In brand new exclusive interview with Barron’s Ryan Cohen says $GME still wants to buy eBay, rips their BoD 🚨.
“I want to own eBay,” Cohen says. “I want to own it for the long term. It’s a great business that’s been poorly managed.”
On rejected offer: “It’s not surprising. We presented a highly credible offer, and it’s exactly what you would expect from a professional board and management team that’s not aligned with shareholders. So, it’s par for the course.”
BREAKING: Another eBay insider (CEO Jamie Iannone) unloads stock AGAIN for 22,220 shares worth $2,425,313.
This particular insider has sold $8,398,690.39 worth of stock over the past three months alone.
What's going on at eBay? $GME
🚨 The @GameStop story was never just about video games. It was about what happens when regular people realize the market is not as clean, fair, or rational as they were told. $GME
@FT GS pumping the stock up so the retail investors (mistakenly referred as dumb money) bite the dust.
Not anymore GS! Retail investors are now much smarter.
📣📣CHARLES GASPARINO TIES TO EPSTEIN 🤔🤔
Gasbagparino was the correspondent to get the
RARE interview with Epstein 🤔
That's interesting he's not exactly a Pulitzer worthy Journalist 🤣
“We’ve kind of gotten used to white-collar crime being completely normalized, so any prosecution for violation of securities law feels like selective enforcement,” said Claire Brown, short seller 🤌🤌
Short sellers that lie about their positions know they're breaking the law.
They just didn't care... until now 🚨
Andrew Left corrupted the business model like many short sellers: by scheming to trade quickly around his statements on social media, where he had a huge following.
He misled others by starting to exit a trade minutes or hours after saying he was betting against a stock, effectively doing the “opposite” of what others expected him to do
The verdict could hasten the decline of firms that specialize in short selling, which has been under way for years due in part to a yearslong bull market and the proliferation of meme-stock rallies that hurt bearish investors.
Gamestop, AMC, and silver destroyed many shorts in the huge 2021 squeeze, and it's very likely to happen again 💎 🙌
🚨🚨MORE PROBLEMS FOR VIRTU FINANCIAL VINCENT VIOLA AND DOUG CIFU
Well more cases going to DISCOVERY 🥳🥳
Doug Cifu just because you stepped down from Virtu doesn't mean you can't be held accountable.
Maybe he can share a cell with Andrew Left 🤣
Market Manipulation is achieved in many ways.
Growing exposure highlighting the mechanics behind these Fraud Structures helps all tickers.

Bloomberg Law reports a judge denied Virtu Financial’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Iron Workers Local No. 55 Pension Fund
They allege owner Vincent Viola rigged a huge stock buyback to funnel more than $400 million to himself and insiders at the expense of regular shareholders.
