I am confused. I thought he had only $40 million after the stock peaked in 2021. Where did he get these extra funds, especially given that GameStop had fallen 80% from the 2021 peak?

Fast-forward to 2024 and he claims a net worth of $200 million at the time of the screenshot when GameStop was at $22 on Sunday. So presumably he would be worth $1 billion if GameStop were trading again at its 2021 highs.

Plus, he would have incurred a huge short-term capital gains tax bill from his 2021 profits, as he used options.

I suspect the whole thing is fake: either the screenshot is fabricated or he was loaned the money to hype the stock; the money is not his.
