The price of the GameStop token (GME) surged by over 10% following the return of finance influencer Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty. Gill's social media post triggered increased trading volume and led to an uptick in the token's price on the Solana blockchain. Gill has historically had a significant impact on both GameStop's stock and crypto prices. He gained fame for his role in the GameStop short squeeze earlier in 2021. In June 2024, Gill faced a lawsuit alleging that he orchestrated a "pump and dump" scheme using his social media influence to inflate GameStop's stock price for personal gain. However, the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed a few days later due to a lack of sufficient evidence to prove fraud.
