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:

1. There was other activity in that range that was deemed to be more pertinent.
2. The Dark Pool trade clearly wont show up on the lit exchange and move the needle to $449.95.
3. 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.
