Kitty may have just shown some online activity...

Likes drop from 276 to 275

Yesterday at 6:55PM CST, RK's X account showed a change in the number of tweets he has liked. The verification badge that was removed whenever he was hacked last week was up the whole time, no sign of a hack this time.

We cannot actually see what users have liked and unliked on X anymore as of a late 2024 update but we can still pull the actual amount through X's API. It's possible that this was a deleted post from another user but he did have a solid chunk of his own posts within his likes as well, you can see here below the Run Lola Run like.

I have had this monitor running for a little over a month now and this is the first time I've seen his like count change. Also, tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of RK unfollowing Ryan Cohen on X. Could be nothing, could be something. Who knows??

I have built a social media tracker for Roaring Kitty activity. It caught everything that happened as he was hacked and all of the timestamps to go along with it. I have published it to GitHub if anyone else wants to follow along, just have to setup your own webhook and X account as it has to be signed in to ping X - feel free to scan it, it’s completely safe.

Disclaimer: I used Claude to help fine-tune with formatting and readability but the thoughts, observations, and research are my own. 

For the record, this is pure speculation — pattern-matching across a few independent observations that I think are worth other eyes on. Not DD, not financial advice, not a claim that any of this is definitely connected. Just laying out what I'm seeing and letting you decide.

The Anomaly

GME June 18, 2026 $30 calls currently sit at ~90.7K open interest on a single strike. I haven't seen single-strike concentration like this on GME since the June 21, 2024 $20 calls — the position DFV eventually revealed.

June 18, 2026 $30 Call OI

It Built Before the eBay Article

WSJ broke the GameStop/eBay story after market close on May 1, 2026. The OI on the $30C was building well before that. Whoever's been buying wasn't chasing news. They were already positioned with conviction in the underlying thesis before the eBay story made it into headlines.

30-minute candles on the contract show repeated volume blocks in the 5K-10K range over the past few weeks. One half-hour window: 10.75K volume — roughly 1M share-equivalents on a single OTM strike in 30 minutes.

This is also what you'd expect to see if a single large buyer is accumulating. We saw 5K+ 1-minute blocks during his 2024 accumulation, but OTM options on GME aren't always deep enough for someone to drop a 10K-contract market order and get filled instantly — there isn't always enough size resting at the ask. A whale accumulating has to walk the book across many smaller fills over hours, days, or weeks depending on what's available. The pattern of sustained mid-sized blocks across many 30-minute windows is more consistent with patient accumulation than with retail one-shot buying.

This doesn't look like retail flow. It looks like someone accumulating with conviction.

The Expiration Rhymes

June 18, 2026 is almost exactly two years out from the June 21, 2024 expiration DFV held during his return. Anyone setting up a 2-year position around early-to-mid 2024 would land in this window. Could be a coincidence. Could be intentional structuring. The rhyme is there either way.

The StockCharts Flipped Date

DFV's confirmed StockCharts account (Rory Kittenger) last updated April 26, 2024 — his final pre-return public footprint before he came back to Twitter on May 12, 2024.

On April 24, 2026, that same account activated Pro membership.

4/26/24 → 4/24/26. The dates are flipped.

Pro activation isn't passive. You click through, you pay. The date was chosen. Time to go pro.

What the 2024 Playbook Looked Like

In hindsight, his return developed in a recognizable sequence:

• Quiet activity on his confirmed accounts (StockCharts updates, the Run Lola Run like)
• Unusual single-strike OI accumulation building over weeks
• Eventual position reveal

What we have so far in 2026:

• StockCharts Pro activation on a flipped date
• Unusual single-strike OI accumulation building ahead of a real catalyst
• ?

The first two boxes look familiar. The third hasn't happened.

The eBay Backdrop

WSJ reported May 1 that GameStop is preparing an offer for eBay (market cap ~$46B vs GME's ~$12B), has been quietly building an EBAY stake, and could submit an offer as soon as later this month. GME closed up 7.4% after-hours; EBAY up 12%.

Whether or not the deal closes, the strategic posture changes the framing. A company preparing to acquire something nearly 4x its size is not a company in runoff. The "dying retailer" thesis takes a real hit here regardless of what you think about anything else in this post.

What This Could Be

Two independent observations pointing the same direction:

1. Someone with conviction was accumulating a directional position based on an independent read of GameStop's trajectory — and the eBay news happened to break during that accumulation window
2. A confirmed-DFV account took a deliberate, paid action on a flipped date of his last pre-return activity date

Neither alone is conclusive. Together they're more interesting than either alone. The pattern-type rhymes with how his 2024 setup developed in real time.

I am not claiming this is definitely him. The OI could be a fund that read the eBay tea leaves, a Cohen-adjacent player, or something else entirely. The flipped date could be coincidence, though that's a stretch given his documented history of date-coded signaling. What I'm saying is that if you were going to design a setup that mirrors 2024, I think this is roughly what it would look like at this stage.

TLDR:

Single-strike OI on the GME June 2026 $30C is at levels we haven't seen since DFV's 2024 $20Cs. The accumulation predates the eBay headline, so it's not news-chasing. His confirmed StockCharts account also activated Pro on 4/24/26, a flipped version of his 4/26/24 last update. Could be a coincidence. Could be a setup that rhymes with 2024. You decide.
