ETrade, the trading platform owned by Morgan Stanley (MS), is considering removing GameStop trader Keith Gill from its platform due to concerns about potential market manipulation, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Gill rose to fame as "Roaring Kitty," the meme stock trader that fueled the rally in GameStop (GME) shares in 2021. On Sunday night, a social media account linked to Gill posted a screenshot showing a trading account with a $175 million stake in the video game retailer. The post sent GameStop shares surging 21% on Monday. The report says those inside ETrade are debating whether the account's actions count as manipulation and what sort of backlash the company could face if they remove Gill from the platform.
