Shares of GameStop soared once again following speculation that the man at the centre of the pandemic meme stock craze owns a large number of shares of the video game retailer that may be worth millions.

Late Sunday, the Reddit account shared a screenshot in the r/SuperStonk forum that people are speculating could be an image of the shares and call options Gill holds in GameStop.
The image showed that Gill may hold five million shares of GameStop that were worth $115.7m as of the closing price on Friday. The screenshot also showed 120,000 call options in GameStop with a $20 strike price that expires on June 21. The call options were bought at around $5.68 a piece.
