The regulators are coming for 'Roaring Kitty'. Keith Gill, the man in a red bandana whose enthusiasm for video game retailer GameStop drove millions of his devotees to buy up the stock and take it "to the moon", is under investigation in his own backyard.
Gill is facing an inquiry from a Massachusetts regulator over potential conflicts of interest because of his work as a licensed securities broker and "financial wellness education director" for insurance company MassMutual. Gill's last day on the job was January 28, but he was posting hours-long videos on GameStop's potential well until January 22 which drew whoops of "if he's still in, I'm still in", from countless followers of his stock tips.
