What links a Roaring Kitty Tweet, GameStop and BerkshireHathaway? Follow up to May 12th
In my original post "Whilst you were all looking left, I looked right" from 12 May 2026, I showed a screenclip of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.B) glitching at the exact same time as a Roaring Kitty Tweet (see Below)
$BRK-B and $GME aftermarket 11 May 2026
This screenshot has been shared at least a few times since.. post from -jbrs and another from TheUltimator5.. I've seen it echo around the sub and it has popped up on twitter too. There was some speculation around swaps, hedges, OTC activity.
Ultimator's post very helpfully included a screenshot of a dark pool trade that printed at the time, confirming that the price was indeed active around that range at that time.
BRK.B Dark Pool trade print at 17:16 on 11 May 2026.
However as we know, Dark Pool trades do not move the ticker. So what does this mean? It means that the ticker display is not a glitch. It wasnt a random misprint on the chart. It wasn't a data fuzzing and it certainly wasn't a doctored image.
Now, you all know how to look at a stock chart. I'm not going to teach anyone to suck eggs here, but you will see a discrepancy between the price on the line chart (Yes Jackie its a yahoo screenshot) and the price on the Dark Pool print. The Line chart shows a price of c$453.50 and the Dark Pool Trade is at c$449.95.
For simplicity, how line charts display data points are based on aggregate trade activity within a time period. The chart will display an 'aggregated price' but the data point used to mark it on the chart will not always reflect the full range of activity. This is because behind any given data point displayed on a chart there is of course OHLC within that time series. (For the sake of clarity OHLC relates to Open, High, Low and Close values within a given time range) This is what Candles show. Most line charts will fuzz the OHLC candle activity in the stated timeframe and return an aggregate price of those ranges to reflect a single datapoint to display on the macro line view chart. At the 1 day view you are not going to see second by second or minute by minute figures. You are going to see averages of the figures in that range determined by volume and activity behind it. Charts also have a tendency to fuzz trades that sit outside the std deviation within that range.
So what does all that mean? Well the fact that the line chart showed a spike, means that something probably happened to cause it. In my last post I speculated that the movement was typical to OTC or swap activity.
But given that the spike appears to be above the level of the DarkPool trade, that probably means:
There was other activity in that range that was deemed to be more pertinent.
The Dark Pool trade clearly wont show up on the lit exchange and move the needle to $449.95.
Therefore its probable, some other activity occurred to bring the price down to a specific range, and a dark pool trade occurred additionally, in and about that range.
So the DarkPool trade confirms there was probably activity in and around that range. My last post claimed BRK.B appeared to flux between 479.26 and c453.50..
Crayon lines confirming estimated BRK.B drop to 453.50 Range
Now I am positing there was swap activity in this range, and the hallmarks of it are there (sudden drop down that is later removed from the chart), and we know that Dark Pool trades occurred in that range at that time, and those trades do not move the needle on a lit exchange and that chart data points routinely exclude activity outside a standard range anyway..
Then that could mean that the activity that occurred at that time stamp, was in fact for the displayed amount of 453.50 as no other activity could have taken place in that range (on a lit exchange) to either move or aggregate the price outside of that stamp.
Therefore... something happened at 453.50. A swap? Seems like a reasonable assumption. The next question is... why? People are going to point to legacy swaps etc.. but IMO (and it is ONLY AN OPINION).. that the answer is staring you straight in the face.
What links a Roaring Kitty Tweet, GameStop and BerkshireHathaway?
The answer is eBay.
If you didn't see that reveal coming, allow me to explain. For this I am going to lift some of my last post..
Lets put all of the objective facts together.
- May 11, 2026 16:00 ET, GameStop (GME) closes down 4.6% at $23.17.
- In After Hours trading, at 17:13 ET, Roaring Kitty posts a tweet (later deleted) that has nothing to do with GME.
- Immediately after the tweet GME rises 13% from $23.20 to $26.27 ($1.4B market cap increase).
- At the exact the same time as the tweet and the GME spike (17:13 ET) Berkshire Hathaway Class B (BRK.B) shows a sharp, brief price move to $453.50 ($55bn swing) that is no longer visible on charts.
- 20 minutes Later 17:36 ET, GameStop files a proxy (14A) which includes a proposal to increase authorised shares to 2.5 billion.
- $GME price immediately collapses to $21.60 (Down 18%) a -$2B Market Cap shift.
I will also add the following:
- At the time GameStops bid for ebay was still on the Table. RC had submitted a bid worth $125 per share for eBay. With eBay having around 448 million shares outstanding, the total value of the bid was around $56 billion.
Now.. I hadnt connected the pieces at this point, but a kind user ModsAreFacists420 (lol) reached out in the thread and said
"Do you find it coincidental that the $55bil market cap swing aligns with RC's offer on EBAY?"
This practically blew my mind, because I couldn't quite believe I had overlooked this.
So here is why I think eBay connects a Roaring Kitty Tweet, GameStop and BerkshireHathaway.
WARNING WHAT COMES NEXT IS PURE SPECULATION BASED ON OBSERVABLE FACTS
- 11 May 2026 17:00 - Somewhere, a large trading desk is shitting its pants awaiting news of GME's pending eBay bid. Possibly the desk has insider knowledge that GameStop is about to publish its proxy (14A) and is primed to execute if there is any news in there which could indicate that GameStop is going to aggressively pursue eBay. That or they are just beiing prudent.
- RK tweet causes GME spike (@17:13)
- The desk or its algo lets out a massive shart thinking that something big happened.
- The desk or its algo pushes the red button triggering a pre planned hedge/swap using BRK.B.
- BRK.B drops to $453.50 a $55B Market Cap swing which almost exactly matches RC's $125/share eBay bid ($448M shares × $125 = $56B)
- The price recovers the hedge is locked in.
- 20 minutes later GME files a proxy (14A) which includes a proposal to increase authorised shares to 2.5 billion signalling aggressive intent to pursue eBay.
- Next day - eBay formally rejects the offer essentially a false alarm, but hedge already locked in.
TLDR - I think RK tweet caused a trade desk to misinterpret GME spike as a signal for "eBay deal done" triggering a $55bn hedge.
Whilst you were all looking left, I looked right.
Some say: "There are years where nothing happens; and there are days where years happen.”
Yesterday was one of those days.
One thing this sub has taught me, if nothing else, is to drown out the noise. Yesterday (11 May 2026), another seemingly normal day in $GME and the lives of superstonk, the market closed down at 16:00 (ET) as normal and the was stonk down (-4.57%) -$1.11, as normal. A close price of $23.17.
A drop of blood. Some would say.
An hour later all hell seemingly broke loose. At c17:13 (ET) Roaring Kitty posted a tweet that has since been deleted. I cant link the tweet. It has been scrubbed from twitter and I cant find a grab of it anywhere on reddit. I know it was 17:13 as the reddit post linking it was timestamped then, and you apes are quick on the draw.
Curious_Individual has supplied a clip of the original Tweet as below..
The nature of the tweet was seemingly a Crypto pump and dump. Some other things also happened around the account, which could well be immaterial. Some say his account was hacked. Some say it was intentional. I am not overly interested in any of those things.
I deal in facts, mostly.
So imagine this. RK's twitter account posts at 17:13 and it causes a c13% upswing in the aftermarket price of $GME. The Stock runs from 23.20 up to 26.27.
$GME aftermarket move 11 May 2026
This is a market cap swing of $1.4bn based on the 448m shares outstanding. From a single (innocuous) tweet. We know the algos are primed to respond to RK. Its there for all to see. This tweet had nothing to do with GME and it moved the stock $1.4bn. Think about that for a second.
Now at c17.36 (20 minutes later) GameStop filed its 14A Proxy statement where it announced among other proposals, that it would be seeking shareholder approval to increase the number of shares outstanding to 2.5bn.
GME 14A Proxy statement - Prop 5
Does anyone know what the mathematical odds are of the following events occurring randomly?:
- RK tweeting at the exact moment $GME runs 13%.
- RK Account hacked 15 minutes before GME files Proxy Statement.
Disclosure - I cant calculate these things. I bad at maths and even worse at theoretical maths, so I asked AI to do it. (YES I KNOW AI MATHS IS TERRIBLE BUT ITS STILL BETTER THAN MINE). For No1 above, Perplexity gave me a high number. Something in the hundreds of millions.
So objectively speaking its highly unlikely that the movement in the stock and RK's tweet are not linked. Its just not possible.
Now 1 and 2 above are not directly linked but the window is too close to ignore IMO. But like I said, trying not to deal in opinions. There are too many of them flying round. Especially at the moment. Also.. we're not done yet.
See under No2 above, we have GME filing the proxy statement requesting to increase the potential shares outstanding to 2.5bn. Speculatively, the reason for this is to fund the acquisition of EBAY. Well on 30th Jan 2026 Ryan Cohen went on CNBC and he stated that what he is trying to do with GameStop is “similar to Berkshire Hathaway, except what Berkshire did in decades we’re attempting to do in a much shorter time in terms of creating that much value,”. This post from thegourdgoat, spelt it out nicely.
Trying to replicate Berkshire Hathaway. Quick sidequest here. Berkshire Class A has only 1m shares.. thats why it trades at $700k a share. Berkshire Class B has 2.4bn shares. It trades at pretty much the same Market Cap as BRK-A, but you instead divide that $1tn Market Cap by the 2.4bn shares outstanding and you get the $480 that BRK-B is trading at. At $500 there would be quite a few Apes who would be very happy with those numbers organically outside of a MOASS situation (not fud).
So firstly dont let anyone tell you that good prices cant occur for stocks with 2bn shares in float. They can and do. AAPL has 15bn shares and trades at $300. It has a 4TN Market cap. At 4tn Market Cap and 2bn shares outstanding, GameStop would be trading at around $2000 a share. Starting to sound a little more like it.
Anyway not to digress, the reason that is relevant, poignant even, is so. Last night while everyone was pissing their pants over dilution and hacked accounts. In between shitposting, I happened to take a glance at BRK-B:
$BRK-B and $GME aftermarket 11 May 2026
I also happened to screenshot it. You can go check the charts. That Anne Hathaway B spike has been removed now. I didn't get a proper clip of the dip. It appeared to flux between 479.26 and c453.50. That's roughly a 5% drop. With 2.1 bn shares outstanding that 5% dip translates to a c$55bn swing in market cap.
You will also see that the Anne Hathaway B dip occurred at - you guessed it 17:13 ET. The exact time that RK tweeted and the exact moment that GME spiked 13%.
There are theories out there that suggest random prints on tickers, that are later removed, are linked to off exchange activity (Swaps and OTC trades).. Its also long been suggested that swaps involving BRK have been used to offset volatility too.. More speculation.
But going back to the maths.
What are the odds that things that are seemingly connected, are in fact random. RK Tweets, GME Spikes 13% and BRK-B drops 5%, causing $57bn in Market Cap adjustment all within the same minute? Well I asked AI and assuming these are connected, the odds these events all occurring randomly and not being linked is .. about 1 in 36.5 billion.
Now one thing we know for certain, is that GME is being supressed. So lets put all of the objective facts together.
- May 11, 2026 16:00 ET, GameStop (GME) closes down 4.6% at $23.17.
- In After Hours trading, at 17:13 ET, Roaring Kitty posts a tweet (later deleted) that has nothing to do with GME.
- Immediately after the tweet GME rises 13% from $23.20 to $26.27 ($1.4B market cap increase).
- At the exact the same time as the tweet and the GME spike (17:13 ET) Berkshire Hathaway Class B (BRK.B) shows a sharp, brief price move (-5%) that is no longer visible on charts.
- 20 minutes Later 17:36 ET, GameStop files a proxy (14A) which includes a proposal to increase authorised shares to 2.5 billion.
- $GME price immediately collapses to $21.60 (Down 18%) a -$2B Market Cap shift.
- To add to the fun $EBAY has this morning rejected $GME acquisition proposal.
In amongst the noise and the drama, when everyone was looking left, I looked right, and I saw what you were not supposed to see.
If such a swap occurred following the RK tweet and GME/BRK.B move, we could perhaps infer that a market participant may have been adjusting a large book very quickly. The price shock in GME could have forced wider accounts to be rebalanced, or because a single entity had a position that needed to be offset at the same time.
But yeah, lets deal in facts. Its astronomically unlikely that these 'connected events' occurred randomly within 1 minute of each other.
TLDR: Fuckery afoot.
