Someone at Robinhood must go to jail.. They lock out retail trader in order to help Wall Street hedge fund manager sell out their position.. Insanely unjust.. The 1% always get away with their wickedness .. This is not Capitalism.

Wish I'd have had spare cash. Covid decimated my business.

Robinhood is crap company. They use communist Rhetoric in their business: I don’t like u, I block u and make u cry 😅

Robinhood are crooks!

If they thought that manipulating the market to incite a panic would work, they are completely out of touch with reality, the tricks that they use to keep the wall street crowd on a leash won't work with actual human beings.
