GameStop ke CEO Ryan Cohen ne ek unique tarike se $56 billion ki eBay acquisition fund karne ka plan banaya — lekin eBay ne unka account hi suspend kar diya. Cohen ne eBay par store signs, old carpets, aur doosre items list kiye the, jiska mazaak udate hue unhone kaha, "Main eBay par cheezein bech raha hoon taaki eBay khareed sakun."
Kya hua tha? GameStop CEO ka eBay account ban
Bloomberg Law ke mutabiq, Ryan Cohen ne ek post mein kaha tha ki woh eBay par items bech kar acquisition fund kar rahe hain. Unhone store signs, carpets, baseball trading cards, aur video games list kiye the. Agar sab kuch current top bids par bikta, toh Cohen $138,000 se zyada collect kar sakte the — jo $56 billion ke deal ka ek bahut chhota hissa hai.
Lekin Cohen ke X post ke 10 ghante ke andar hi, Times of India ke report ke mutabiq, eBay ne unka account permanently ban kar diya. eBay ka kehna hai ki Cohen ne platform ke rules violate kiye the.
GameStop CEO ka $56 billion ka plan kya hai?
Ryan Cohen ke paas pehle se AP News ke mutabiq, TD Bank se $20 billion ka financing commitment hai. Lekin GameStop ka market cap sirf $11 billion ke aas-paas hai, isliye sawaal uth rahe hain ki baaki $36 billion kahan se aayenge.
Cohen ka mazaak tha ki woh eBay par items bech kar funding gap fill karenge, lekin $138,000 ka collection $56 billion ke deal mein kuch bhi nahi hai. Yeh ek symbolic gesture tha jo viral ho gaya.
eBay ne kyun ban kiya? Platform rules ka violation
Yahoo Finance ke report ke mutabiq, eBay ne Cohen ke account ko isliye suspend kiya kyunki unhone aise items list kiye jo platform ke rules violate karte hain. eBay ke terms ke mutabiq, koi bhi user aise items nahi bech sakta jo "store signs" ya "corporate assets" hain bina proper authorization ke.
Cohen ne jo items list kiye the, unmein GameStop ke store signs aur old carpets bhi the. eBay ne ise "unauthorized commercial activity" maana aur account permanently suspend kar diya.
Hamaari Baat: Yeh mazaak tha ya serious plan?
Seedha baat karein toh, Ryan Cohen ka $56 billion ka offer serious hai — unhone TD Bank se $20 billion ka commitment bhi le liya hai. Lekin eBay par items bech kar funding ka mazaak udaana ek PR stunt tha jo backfire ho gaya.
Hamari nazar mein, eBay ne sahi kiya account suspend karke. Agar koi CEO platform par aise items list kare jo rules violate karte hain, toh action lena zaroori hai. Lekin isse GameStop aur eBay ke beech ka deal impact nahi hoga — Cohen ke paas serious investors hain jo funding de sakte hain.
Yeh story dikhati hai ki meme stocks aur corporate acquisitions ke beech ka line kitna blur ho gaya hai. Ek taraf $56 billion ka serious deal, doosri taraf $138,000 ke items bechne ka mazaak. Investors ko dekhna hoga ki Cohen ka plan kaam karta hai ya nahi.
