The U.S. House of Representative's Financial Services Committee is scheduled to hold meetings on Feb. 18 about the short squeeze mania surrounding GameStop (NYSE: GME) , AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) , and a handful of other heavily shorted stocks that recently saw huge gains. Some of the biggest players connected to the situation will be brought for questioning by the committee, which is chaired by Rep. Maxine Waters.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Citadel CEO Kenneth Griffin, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, and Melvin Capital founder Gabriel Plotkin have all been requested to appear at the hearing. Retail investor Keith Gill, who gained notoriety after discussing his big investment in GameStop stock on Reddit, is also being summoned for questioning by the committee.
