hey at least that youtube guy made $20 million out of the deal!!



The YouTuber known as Roaring Kitty, who became the face of the GameStop stock frenzy, will likely be called to testify at House hearings on market volatility, according to Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, as state regulators in Massachusetts probe his sideline promoting stocks online.

Keith Gill, 34, placed a huge bet on GameStop shares more than a year ago and shared his ideas about the stock online in the months leading up to the 'meme stock' bubble.

Gill has already cashed out more than $13 million on his trades and was sitting on another $7.6 million in gains as of Wednesday, according to a screenshot of his brokerage account he posted on Reddit. At the height of the frenzy last week, his account was worth nearly $48 million.
