GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) CEO Ryan Cohen claimed he was permanently banned from eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) just days after proposing a $56 billion buyout of the e-commerce giant, prompting legendary investor Michael Burry to declare the move “hostile.”However, a quick check of Cohen’s profile reveals the account is still active.
‘Putting The Community At Risk’
The issue unfolded on X when Cohen posted a screenshot of an eBay suspension notice. The message informed his username, ryan_5050, that his account was permanently suspended due to activity that was “putting the eBay community at risk.”
The post immediately sent shockwaves through the financial community. Burry, the famous “Big Short” investor, quote-tweeted Cohen’s screenshot and escalated the narrative, stating, “GME’s Play for eBay just went hostile.”
The alleged ban added fuel to the already tense atmosphere surrounding GameStop’s unsolicited corporate takeover bid.
