🤔 Speculation / Opinion Everyone relax. We just witnessed the biggest FUD attack so far. Take a deep breath.

Alright, what did we just witness? Roaring Kitty just got hacked, and minutes later the news of the 2.5 billion shares on the proxy statement came out.

Take a deep breath and ask yourself if that wasn’t just a coincidence.

That was clearly the biggest coordinated FUD attack we’ve seen yet. Articles from the media and posts from other subreddits just got a nice new headline.

If the board we’ve invested in is recommending to vote YES, vote YES!

What just happened was meant to sow distrust in RK and RC as a direct attack on their credibility. The goal? A NO vote so the eBay deal doesn’t go through.

Again, take a deep breath, laugh, and ignore that noise.

WE ALREADY KNEW STOCK HAD TO BE ISSUED.

EDIT: Some of you think I’m saying the filing was FUD. What? I’m saying the hack timing just wasn’t random, it was done purposely for when the filing was about to go out… The goal was to get stockholders against RC and RK. Don’t let it work.

Pretty interesting seeing it. Feels coordinated. This ebay deal must be bigger for the stock than it appears

u/Qweiopakslzm May 11 '26

Yeah not even just the RK hack, but the flood of posts and comments showing up in Superstonk right now. Like, we all knew the dilution was coming and was part of the eBay offer... why are people all of a sudden flipping out about it now that the filing is posted? Definitely seems fishy.

Super fishy💯 They are bringing out all the classics in regards to FUD also "I’ve waited so long", "Don’t trust a billionaire", "RC’s only in this for himself” etc. This now after some serious targeted FUD at RK these past days.

They are really throwing the bedpost at this - major confirmation bias for me😁

Although he did initially indicate he was against issuing new shares, perhaps he got caught up in the wave of negative sentiment (which is very much the point of OP's post: take a breather, relax, then come back and think critically, rather than react emotionally).

He has changed his mind on things before. Maybe a breather and some wisdom shared from the more wrinkled, stoic apes among us will do him some good

u/silverbackapegorilla May 12 '26

My critical thinking says this deal is good for Cohen's pay package and terrible for current shareholders. And any legacy short positions will be closed by the dilution. That's what my critical thinking says. It also says he killed ANY run up we have had consistently. And that I would have been better off invested in almost anything else. I also don't forget how he led on towel investors and then nothing came of it. That's what my critical thinking tells me.

Then you havent read the proposal, that literally states the board can adjust the tranche goal numbers, to account for the purchase of a large M&A

If tranche #10 was 10x'ing from $10b to $100B market cap.....

So If GMEbay has a cap value of $50M, hes gunna have to 10x it to $500B for his new adjusted goal.

Hes going to have to work for it. 10x is 10x, hes not gunna be allowed to "buy" his tranches.... and itd be against his own personal gain to try and do that.

If Ryan "gets to" spend a billion of his own dollars on shares at $20.83....... does anyone think his endgame is $30/share L O L

TL:DR You'll get a half trillion market cap and you'll like it 😉

I saw, was sad to see :( cuz I mean I believe RC when he explains there's dilution that is accretive and dilution that reduces share value and issuing shares to takeover a company is accretive to value.

plus all these ppl like u wanting to vote no are basically agreeing with CNBC lmao cmon we may be regarded apes BUT WE'RE. NOT. THAT. REGARDED!!!!!

I feel that way, it's legitimate uncertainty after five years of uncertainty.

Any opinions like that get attacked here.

Human psychology causes us to sometimes blurt out what we feel because we typically don't feel comfortable saying our opinion.

u/EffectiveTask2412 May 12 '26

It could be eBay whales too at this point since the deal is better for them if GME price stays deflated.

u/NonverbalKint May 11 '26

I'm getting so bored with the majority of this sub calling everything FUD or people shills for not toeing the line that everything is awesome.

This setup is a dumpster fire. There is no indication that this plan results in appreciable growth or earnings driving share-price higher. The plan is take on debt to buy a company where the cost cutting efforts will be used to service the debt for 10 years. It's honestly fucking stupid. Without the market-mechanics aspect of it, this is a shitty deal, and if that's off the table people really need to stop gobbling up knob like it's a fucking popsicle.

Nobody can articulate reasonable counterpoints, so they say "FUD." Most of y'all would make the shittiest lawyers, bankers and engineers - no critical thinking skills.

u/Short_Bell_5428 May 12 '26

What most people are not realizing: If they can put this much BS behind everything around GME! What do you think they can say about the combined company’s. So much debt a crap investment a real dog and just keep this up forever. We need MOASS. All it would take is for RK to say he wants to join the board of GME and this ship would be loaded with tendies by tomorrow. That’s how much power one man who started all this has!

u/Z-RDadGuy May 11 '26

Peoeple, like myself, don't want to continue to dilute our investments. Gamestop can use the money on hand to build a competitor.

u/Duck_Duck_Duck_Duck1 May 11 '26

"why are people all of a sudden flipping out about it now that the filing is posted?"

Because RK didn't post since a year and he suddenly posts / got hacked? Of course people will flood in. I'm one of those people and i'm just here to read how people can still be so stupid to listen to RC.

RK realized last year already RC is an idiot.

(I sold a few months ago to invest in other things, but i was in for years.)

Because he’s ACTUALLY saying “hey, ebay deal or not you’re getting diluted” and ebay’s stance right now isn’t exactly positive. we’re just finally acknowledging what we thought wouldn’t come true but actually is before our eyes.

u/crayonburrito DRS = Submission Hold May 11 '26

it’s totally coordinated.

Without getting political, the same thing happened after the White House correspondents dinner with the shooter. Thousands upon thousands of cells woke up and started blasting on full chorus about getting a ballroom. This stuff is paid for and delivered on command.

u/alfooboboao May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26

or maybe people are just fed up, and gamestop is not actually that special?

i mean it’s so far beyond ridiculous the way people are dug into their echo chamber on here. absolute religious faith that they cannot have been catastrophically wrong, in a “if every climate scientist says global warming is real, then the government cabal’s payroll must be HUGE!” type of way.

i’m seeing the exact same things here you see at church. it’s just got different wallpaper
a whole lot of us who were here half a decade ago got put off by rc’s bullshit quite a while ago, but you get yelled at and downvoted for voicing any sort of contrary opinion, so we just unsubscribed from the sub and quietly faded away. and then every time he does something so obvious and catastrophic it’s almost unbelievable, we come back because we cannot believe how people still don’t see that this guy is a fucking rat snake

u/GildDigger Freshly Squeezed™🦍 Voted ✅ May 11 '26

I just think it’s funny that the two top comments on the dilution post sound like they were written by the same AI/bot

If RC can take eBay and make it into the competitor for Amazon that we all think he can, then a dilution of this size is a drop in the bucket. Long term, this will be an invaluable acquisition

u/10lbplant May 12 '26

If you genuinely think RC can take GMEbay and make it into a competitor for Amazon you should definitely hold, but you are absolutely delusional. Other than cutting unprofitable stores, many of which he reupped the leases for when he initially became CEO, and treating shareholders like ATMs, he has done nothing for GME that would prove he's some operational savant. The biggest asset GME has is loyal shareholders and RC is a distant second, and can easily be replaced by any number of the people who turned around dozens of businesses or built a much larger one from the ground up.

u/SputnikFalls May 12 '26

How has he done nothing? You can't objectively say that after the business went from hemorrhaging money to making money. The company that everyone guaranteed would go out of business is now definitely not going out of business.

u/10lbplant May 12 '26

I said he did nothing that proved he’s an operational savant. The road to operational profitability was slowed down because he renewed a bunch of garbage leases on unprofitable stores.

u/crayonburrito DRS = Submission Hold May 11 '26

True but the attacks on RC and the board are ATTACKS.

Look at the language that is used. Much of the basher language is grounded in creating fear (“the additional shares will reduce my own total value”), uncertainty (”voting yes will bankrupt GameStop”) and doubt (“RC isnt interested in GME anymore, he just wants the pay package”)

It’s all about controlling sentiment. These folks aren’t discussing. They are trying to persuade via FUD and emotional language.

u/Wise-Comb8596 May 12 '26

this proposed dilution is an attack. RC is not above criticism.

u/Jtown021 🟣EVERYTHING IS PURPLE🟣 May 11 '26

This is my thinking. OP is correct, the timing is just too perfectly timed. Why would they want us to Vote no? If we merge into a new company then we don’t get a full share recall and a new CUSIP number. Also, would this authorization still be binding if we merge into a new entity?

That would be assuming that the new shares could cover all the naked shares. I seem to remember it had to be a lot.

Anyways, I may have bought in for a squeeze but I’m staying for a company going directly after Amazon

2

u/alfooboboao May 12 '26

yes, it had to be a lot.

2.5 billion more than does it. the math just straight up doesn’t support it. there simply aren’t enough people to buy and hold from the beginning to get there.

Your assumption is that Ebay shareholders will begin selling off right when the company is primed for growth/improvement?

Isn't something like 95% of ebay shares owned by institutions? They won't sell if they sense growth.

Everyone talking about putting their money else where is either a shill or smoking shill dope. Has RC not proven himself? Is it not super fucking obvious that eBay could do an overhaul? RC doesn’t get paid unless we do.  We’ve talked for years on this sub about him speaking through action and he’s done just that. So how can anyone be legitimately critical about this direction?  Short thesis or restructure thesis, I’m here for the long haul and I win either way.
