"Europe why didn’t yall move the price up when us Americans were sleeping," the YouTube commentor asked.

Over on the r/Superstonk community, members are already celebrating Gill's status as an "Ethical Billionaire."

Gill became famous for the role he played in the GameStop short squeeze in 2021, spurred on by his bullish stance on GME. Since then, GameStop has

But this meteoric rise hasn't happened without a lot of headwinds. There have been reports that Gill is facing inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Massachusetts securities regulator.

At the start of the week, an unnamed source told The Wall Street Journal that ETrade's financial crimes unit had started looking at Gill's trading account.
