Were Roaring Kitty’s GameStop posts illegal? A former SEC lawyer explains the recent scrutiny.
For example, Andrew Left of Citron Research revealed his own position when he told reporters he was shorting GameStop again last month, even after his firm lost 100% of its investment shorting the stock in 2021. But despite trading against Gill (and often disparaging him) Citron Research doesn’t think that Roaring Kitty acted illegally.
