Wall Street Journal: Roaring Kitty may face ban from stock trading platform ETrade

Keith Gill, the YouTuber who helped drive GameStop Inc.’s stock surge, may be removed from retail stock trading platform ETrade. ETrade, owned by investment giant Morgan Stanley, has “growing concerns that his recent purchases of GameStop (GME) shares may represent stock manipulation,” according to people familiar with the matter. ETrade appears to be considering halting Kitty’s trading amid a new surge of activity in GME. According to a Reddit post, if his latest bet — that GME stock will be worth more than $20 on June 21 — proves to be true, he stands to make a ton of money. Those who follow him will benefit, too.

Morgan Stanley has hired its financial crimes unit and outside consultants on the matter, but the firm knows that taking action would mean "attracting the attention of his meme army," and Morgan Stanley employees are also concerned that shutting down Kitty's account could cause the firm to lose ETrade clients. According to investment tracker @unusual_whales on Twitter, RoaringKitty accounts grew 48%, or about $85 million, today alone.
