    So he's still holding 40k contracts? They were trading at $28 leading up to the earnings...

    "GameStop stock plummeted Friday after the video game retailer unexpectedly moved up its Q1 report and announced a new major share offering. The early move erased GME stock's gains from Thursday's rally following the releases."

    Man what a rug pull!
