Former 4:03 miler is Roaring Kitty. Makes $13+ million on GameStop stock

Check out his youtube channel. He had a clear thesis of why Gamestop was actually undervalued. sure he had some luck along the way but for the most part it wasn't like he just saw gamestop and wanted to buy 50k worth of it without actually doing any research.

Those of you from Dyestat may remember him as Wizard.

the playground strikes again

^That's you Wizard, isn't it? Congrats! Learned the meaning of sPine from you. +repped

what a day for forum posters

Somebody dig up that picture of him leading the field by a several strides at the start of the race at Franklin Park. Basically what he's doing to the world right now.

nah, it's me -ff

I texted Keith - we should really have a playground reunion.

Him and his brother were quite the runners out of Brockton, MA. I’m sure Mr. Jonathan Gault remembers getting smoked by his younger brother in Franklin Park back in the day.

This is awesome. But joke's on you, Kevin Gill never smoked me at Franklin Park because I didn't run HS XC until after he graduated! (Though he would have smoked me if we raced)

Keith is actually one of the first people I interviewed at my first internship back at the Lowell Sun. I was covering a 4th of July Road Race in Chelmsford and he finished highly. Having spent my fair share of time in the Playground back in the day, I couldn't resist the chance to interview "Wizard."

Wow how many people on here were on Dyestat back in the day? Crazy to think it's been close to 11 years since the messageboard is gone, but a bunch of us are still on here and still remember Wizard from the Playground :o

I remember wizard from dyestat. He was one of the funniest and most intelligent posters on that board. This guy has lived a wild life. I think he was D2 All American too.

Here's a new mainstream story on him. Also, GME is over 300 tonight:

Wow he looks good for his age. I thought he was in his late 20s, not 34

Really good article giving more of the backstory

He smoked Barnicle back in the day in XC when everyone thought he was unbeatable

FYI, if anyone has Keith's contact info, please shoot me an email (jonathangault@letsrun.com). It would be great if we could have him on the podcast next week to talk about all this and his running career. According to the WSJ, he wants to use some of his new money to build an indoor track in Brockton. I love it.

I have his OG phone number and email.

DM me on Twitter @kybunga

Smoked Barnicle???

I was at the Trials in 2016. Good times for Barnicle.
