GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is sidestepping questions about how much a proposed takeover of eBay — for $56 billion — would benefit stockholders.

Many viewers feel that the math isn’t adding up.

The suspension comes days after GameStop announced an unsolicited $56 billion bid to acquire eBay for $125 per share in cash and stock, despite GameStop’s market capitalization of just $11.29 billion. Cohen had listed items that accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in bids before the suspension, with a GameStop mug reaching over $3,000 and a Master Chief statue exceeding $10,000. Each listing included a hand-signed copy of Cohen’s takeover proposal letter to eBay management.

eBay suspended Ryan Cohen's account two days after GameStop's $56 billion takeover bid. The ban has since been lifted.

GameStop is looking to acquire a much larger company than itself.

Don't expect "meme mania" to repeat itself for Opendoor this year.

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has a bold plan to buy eBay, a much larger company than his. And he’s offering a lot of money—$56 billion, or $125 a share. There’s the rub: eBay stock is hovering around $108, a sign that Wall Street doubts Cohen can pull off the deal. Prominent money manager Bill Smead, whose firm has been an eBay stakeholder for nearly 20 years, is skeptical, too.
