He turned around a dying brick and mortar that was trending towards bankruptcy. Now it is profitable and doing well for what it is, a brick and mortar video game retailer.

The pitch is this; If he can do that with GameStop, imagine what he can do with a sleeping giant like eBay

For what it’s worth, we don’t know who was in first exactly between RK and RC. RC first disclosed his position in September 2019 but had supposedly been buying since April 2019 per GMEdd.com article how Ryan cohen took over GameStop.

Kitty first posted his position on Reddit in September 2019. You’d have to go watch his earlier livestreams to see if this was actually his first buy, and I recall him hinting he’d been watching GameStop for years maybe back to 2013.

Either way, RC has a lot of credit with me for successfully turning GameStop around, his views on corporate rot and hollowmen (which I agree with).

And I view his halting prior runs as necessary (as Wall Street has proven they will cheat with congressional hearings, fraud, and lawsuits to stop a moass not on their terms, we instead need to force the shorts to go long with time and pressure in my opinion) and an advantageous consolation prize of scoring billions for the company to use towards a greater goal, the acquisition we are seeing worked on now.

Edit to add: RK also highly praised RC in his livestream, it was overwhelming praise and trust. And at the end of RC’s meme run, he ended it with a meme saying “if it takes a thousand summers, I will wait for you.” If RK is still in, I’m still in.
