GameStop Is Quietly Building a Pokémon Empire and eBay Could Complete It

Two employees of the crooked platform Robinhood ($HOOD) have been charged with fraud over alleged insider trading on Hyperliquid.
Crooked Robinhood $HOOD CEO Vlad Tenev: Once a company goes public, it has no control over the financial products Wall Street builds around its shares.
“We know a little something about U.S. securities laws.”
Yeah — from paying for the lessons.
Robinhood has racked up over $200M in major brokerage/securities penalties: $65M SEC for misleading customers about PFOF/best execution; $57M FINRA + $12.6M restitution for systemic supervisory failures and misleading customers; $10.2M multistate settlement; $7.5M Massachusetts settlement; $45M SEC for violations of 10+ securities-law provisions; and $26M FINRA + $3.75M restitution over AML, order-collaring disclosures, influencer communications, clearing/reporting failures and more.
And the allegations didn’t magically disappear: Robinhood’s own 2026 SEC filing discloses an NY AG investigation into execution quality/collaring, FINRA investigations over its 24-hour-market disruptions, pending arbitrations alleging securities-law violations over the 2021 trading restrictions, and IPO litigation alleging false/misleading offering disclosures — with the Ninth Circuit reviving part of that case.
“Send your lawyers and we’ll educate them”?
Regulators have been educating Robinhood for years. Bring a notebook.

Today, $AMC CEO Adam Aron called out Robinhood.
InvestorTurf has been warning retail investors about Robinhood for YEARS. Their predatory behavior comes as absolutely no surprise to us.
We can’t find many polite words left to describe Robinhood.
If we were publishing this as a news story on our website, we’d call them exactly what we think they are:
The scumbags at Robinhood have no shame.
And any retail investor still choosing to use that platform needs to seriously ask themselves why they continue supporting a company with this track record. At some point, you become part of the problem.

Robinhood apparently is behind an effort related to “tokenized real-world assets including Stock Tokens” for AMC Entertainment (and supposedly 190+ other companies). They are not registered under U.S. securities laws !!!!!!
I find this practice to be contemptible, outrageous, disgusting, detestable, inexcusable, vile. How can it possibly be legal? We have no connection to this at all, and do not condone it in any way.
We immediately are going to have our outside securities counsel look into this.

eBay to Pay $56 Million to Couple Harassed by Company Staff
eBay has agreed to pay $56 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a couple who were subjected to a disturbing harassment campaign after criticizing the company. The couple received threatening deliveries, including live insects, a bloody pig mask, and other unsettling items, sent by former eBay employees in an effort to intimidate them.

Breaking news: Community Bank and Trust of West Georgia has been closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This makes it the second bank to close this year
InvestorTurf now believes it is looking increasingly likely that GameStop could complete a hostile takeover of eBay by year-end, following GameStop’s reported 9% stake in the company.
A key factor is eBay’s own proxy history, which has repeatedly stated that the company has “No Stockholder Rights Plan,” also known as a poison pill. For example, eBay’s 2020 proxy stated: “We do not have a stockholder rights plan (also known as a ‘poison pill’).”
At this point, we believe one of two outcomes is likely: either a hostile takeover is completed by year-end, or shareholders may be facing an ugly legal battle. Given eBay’s past corporate controversies and documented misconduct by former employees, we would not underestimate the lengths to which eBay’s leadership and advisers may go to resist a transaction they oppose.

South Korean stocks are in freefall.
Roughly ₩400 trillion has been wiped from the country’s stock market today after the KOSPI plunged 8.44%, marking its steepest single-day drop since March 4.
Trading was temporarily halted after a circuit breaker was triggered.
JPMorgan just abandoned its long-standing bearish stance on Tesla, upgrading the stock to “neutral” from “underweight” and more than tripling its price target from $145 to $475.
The bank cited Tesla’s unmatched industrial-scale vertical integration, along with its long-term potential in AI, robotics, and energy storage.
Worth noting: this is the same bank Elon Musk chose to be part of SpaceX’s IPO — a deal that could generate hundreds of millions in fees.
Understand the game.

Everyone thinks the SpaceX IPO will be free money.
That alone should make retail investors cautious.
Great companies do not always make great investments—especially when investors pay almost any price to own them.
Facebook was one of the most anticipated IPOs in history.
It went public at $38 in 2012.
Within months, the stock traded below $18—a decline of roughly 53%.
The company eventually became enormously successful.
But investors who blindly bought the IPO hype still suffered first.
The same pattern has happened repeatedly:
Rivian briefly became one of America’s most valuable automakers after its IPO. Its shares later fell more than 80%.
Didi’s IPO was heavily oversubscribed. Its shares later dropped roughly 74% from the offering price.
Figma nearly quadrupled during its first trading session. It later fell below its IPO price.
Uber, Lyft, Robinhood, Snap and Coinbase also showed investors that a famous brand, exciting story and heavily promoted listing do not guarantee immediate profits.
Now comes SpaceX.
SpaceX is targeting a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion and is expected to begin trading under the ticker $SPCX as early as June 12.
The company plans to offer roughly 555.6 million shares at $135 each.
That would raise approximately $75 billion—the largest IPO ever.
Many investors see the limited public float and assume the stock can only go up.
But scarcity can create volatility in both directions.
At the proposed valuation, investors are being asked to pay nearly 100 times annual sales for a company that lost almost $5 billion last year.
SpaceX may become one of the greatest companies in history.
That does not mean every price is a good entry price.
An IPO is not only an opportunity for the public to buy.
It is also the moment when years of private-market paper wealth begin gaining a path toward liquidity.
Some insiders and selected shareholders may be able to sell earlier than investors expect, while additional restricted shares could become eligible for sale over the following months.
Retail investors should ask themselves:
Am I buying the business because the valuation makes sense?
Or am I buying because I am afraid of missing the first green candle?
The crowd may be right about SpaceX’s future.
It can still be dangerously wrong about the price.
Do not confuse an extraordinary company with a risk-free investment.
GameStop has reported its highest quarterly net income ever at $389.6 million and its highest first-quarter operating income at $143.3 million. Year-on-year net sales grew 14% driven by a surge in collectibles. The company also boasts a substantial cash reserve of $9.7 billion, along with marketable securities digital assets and related receivables.
