Remember all them liberals who couldn't stand Trump? They didn't know why they couldn't, they were just told that they couldn't. And they couldn't figure out all the reasons were bullshite.

What’s the “unreasonable risk” to Robin Hood in brokering the account owner’s position?

Is this the folks who are trading on margin?

Damn. I’m not even directly involved in this but this shite is pissing me off. They aren’t even attempting to hide it. Something’s got to give. The powerful are managing to meld together a coalition of very different groups in opposition by pulling this kind of crap. They should be careful how far they push.

Ironically the hedge funds they are helping with will take them out as well over RH soon suicide

I agree with all of this thread, but nothing screams working class/poor like 4500 shares at an average of $118.00 (531000.00).

Bernie Madoff, went to jail for as much. They can't do that and expect that there won't be major ramifications

Well, given that it was well above 350 and hit 400 for a time yesterday, that difference computes to around a cool million.

Yep. bullshite.

They sold a ton of stocks low to either help Citadel do new shorts or to lock in their losses at $100+ rather than $450+ a share.

IOW, they massively fricked their customers to save their masters.

So RH unilaterally sold 4,500 shares this morning at an average of $118.93/share and GME is now trading at $251.40/share as I type this.

That means the customer lost out making an additional $596,000.
