Keith Gill, also known as ‘Roaring Kitty,’ confirmed that he is behind the posts on his X and Reddit accounts, and that the screenshots he has uploaded on the latter platform are of his own portfolio.
Keith Gill is back. The famed meme stock icon, also known as “Roaring Kitty,” made a long-awaited appearance on a livestream on his YouTube channel Friday. Sporting long hair, a thick bandage wrapped around his head, gaudy white sunglasses, a sling and a beer, Gill livestreamed against a background of Yahoo! Finance’s GameStop stock ticker page. “It’s been a few years now. I hope y’all are good,” said Gill, a native of Brockton, Massachusetts. “This is me, by the way. I see a lot of question marks — ‘Is he back? Is it someone else?’ I mean, can you tell it’s me now?” Gill confirmed that he is behind the posts on his X and Reddit accounts, and that the screenshots he has uploaded on the latter platform are of his own portfolio. “These are my positions. I’m not working with anyone else. I’m not working with hedge funds,” he said. Gill had communicated exclusively by posting memes, gifs, short video clips and screenshots of his portfolio until the livestream, leaving it unclear if it even was Gill behind the social media posts.
