Yes, Ryan Cohen / $GME likely did. Get to 4.9% in shares, then buy as many options as possible before filing 13D was the strategy I always assumed. We will know in days...

@DOMOCAPITAL Is it legal to buy options and do that? Does that classify as manipulation?

@TugginPud Perfectly legal.

@DOMOCAPITAL Well, that's neat. Thanks for the reply.

@TugginPud @DOMOCAPITAL Not necessarily true. Options would be considered beneficial ownership.

@GameStopKing @TugginPud Yes, of course they are.

@DOMOCAPITAL @TugginPud Wouldn’t that force GME to file?

@GameStopKing @TugginPud Did you not read the original post you're replying on?

@DOMOCAPITAL @TugginPud I read it but I’m saying the call options would force GME to file. These calls were bought yesterday. Wouldn’t that mean GME would have had to file today?
