    Bullshit Vlad. You were short and you lost big. Your clearing houses were short and they couldn’t cover daily’s. Melvin shorted 140% a company’s entire stock and got stuck in a squeeze, so his buddies gave him a few billion to cover calls for a few days.
    So…. You (and a couple other brokers) stopped the buyers and holders from their “normal”, investor 101 textbook tactic (technically speaking), marketing strategy move.
    These actions, IF implied communication between you, makes you ALL co-conspirators. WTF!
    To the public. BUY AND HOLD! You should be pissed off.

    It protects the firm and hedge funds. This man made a mistake and like a true gambler doubled down, now hes building a lengthy criminal resume of infringement and market manipulation. All before his company ever even gets to public. Sad. To CashApp i go

    they should take away his the name Robinhood. Nothing Robinhood-a-like they are doing. Rather the contrarary…
    They should run this clip through an episode of Lie to Me and share it here on youtube.

    Great interview for Vlad and everyone on/at Robinhood. They should continue to try and get out front of all the misinformation and other bs asap. What Robinhood here is not only not illegal but also the right idea. They could have changed the margin requirements and jacked them up instead of stopping buying but it is of the same effect. It’s good they didn’t shut down the sell-side because then they would have done something questionable/possibly illegal. All else being equal they should continue spreading the truth about it all.

    I see Robinhood just like gamestop stock price. Went up overnight, closed low Thursday and going up and down friday as people were leaving to another firm. At the end of all this, they plummet along with gamestop stock. Probably before gamestop.

    Very suspicious that RH halted buying the stocks but allowed users to sell. This benefited short sellers and hurt retail investors. It’s owning free market for the big suits????????‍♂️

Meta is facing a landmark legal battle with 29 states accusing the company of deliberately designing its platforms to keep children hooked while misleading the public about their safety.
