Kusin had resigned before the name change, leaving the company after it had merged with <strong>Software, Inc.<\/strong> in 1995, meaning he currently has no major stake in the company. Since then, he has worked with the likes of <strong>Kinkos<\/strong>, <strong>Electric Arts<\/strong> and <strong>Fedex<\/strong>. Kusin does say he&#8217;s enjoying a &#8220;front-row seat&#8221; for the recent mayhem on <strong>Wall Street <\/strong>involving GameStop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m much more a spectator that I am participant,&#8221; he said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/01\/31\/gamestop-craziness-hits-close-to-home-for-ben-kusin-co-founders-son.htm\">CNBC<\/a> in an interview. &#8220;I just grabbed some popcorn.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gary&#8217;s eldest son, <strong>Ben Kusin<\/strong>, has been an active Reddit user for over 13 years and spends a majority of his time on<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/wallstreetbets\/comments\/l9ta9n\/gamestop_founder_gary_kusin_said_it_was_an_honor\/\">r\/WallStreetBets<\/a><\/strong>.

Long story short, GameStop shares rose from $19.95 on Jan 12th to nearly $500 last week. In the process, millions were made and billions were lost, mainly from large hedge funds that had been shorting (betting against) GameStop stock to drop. <strong>AMC Entertainment<\/strong> also saw their stock nearly triple from just a few weeks ago due to the same strategy. Millions flocked to trading apps like <strong>Robinhood<\/strong>, <strong>Webull<\/strong> and <strong>TD Ameritrade <\/strong>to get in on the action and help rise the price of the stocks even higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-01-at-8.11.59-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-01-at-8.11.59-PM.png 686w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-01-at-8.11.59-PM-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GameStop shares have shot up more than 1,500%, increasing their overall market cap to nearly $23 billion.
