Ok, I've seen every interview RC has done since the initial ce-en-be-ce trolling!

Everyone is focused on how the deal will be put together, analysing every word that RC says about it. Excel spreadsheets popping up everywhere, a plethora of different scenarios on this cash/stock split and that cash/stock split. Accrevtive vs dilutive, MOASS vs no MOASS, Sultans yada yada yada.

But the thing that has stuck out to me is just how much RC is highlighting that the board of eBay, specifically the CEO, has $0 personal investment in the company.

We know, from his actions (and his words) that RC has a small fortune of his personal wealth invested in GME (I think around $128M).

GME has declared an interest in eBay through derivates exposure and actual stock BUT (as yet) RC hasn't declared a personal interest.

He's clearly passionate about eBay, you just have to listen to his interviews to see that, and that passion will be confirmed when he announces a personal investment into eBay on a scale we cannot begin to fathom. There's no way he's going on national and international shows to call out the CEO of eBay for not owning any stock, to get eBay and then not put his own money into it. That would be hypocrisy on another level!

Looking at the scale of the 2 businesses, and the potential for returns if he can do for eBay what he believes he can do, it's my opinion he's going to put the vast majority of his net worth into eBay. And then there's the performance related compensation package...

"It takes money to buy whiskey..."

YOLO.
