The real answer is they shut off buying and selling at critical times more than any other broker, they give you an hour less in a day to exercise options and their app is designed to get you to constantly be buying and selling because they make money on selling your trade before they make it for you, greatly increasing your odds of losing your money.

They named themselves Robin Hood and then shut off service when THIS GROUP teamed up to steal from the rich on the gamestop squeeze Edit: spelling

Yo don't lump me in with those goof balls who saw the gamestop saga as a way to stick it to the rich. I just wanted to make money

Same just front running the fomo for $. Dumb luck to stumble on the scenario the previous October and notice early on what was starting. In at 80 out at 350.

It doesn't matter what the goal was. Y'all saw that Wallstreet had shorted it too heavily and took advantage. People casing nice neighborhoods also like to steal from the rich without it being social commentary
