Gill also frequently mentioned on his YouTube videos Michael Burry’s long position in the stock as well as Ryan Cohen, whose RC Ventures held a 13 percent stake in GameStop.

Along with Chewy cofounder Ryan Cohen, Burry has been agitating for changes at GameStop for a while. The Scion boss penned a letter to the company’s directors in August 2019, arguing the low stock price and massive short interest suggested a lack of faith in management, and calling for a massive share buy-back.
