Robinhood just had to borrow a billion dollars. Having to get a billion dollar emergency bail out is not the sign of a sinister plot, it's the sign of a colossal fuck up.

There are a fair number of signs that Robinhood is a mess. This isn't the first time the company has run afoul of their own success and wound up screwing over investors.

I didn't say they shouldn't be responsible for the consequences of their mistake. My point was that it's more likely this is a screw up than some sinister plan on their part.

We're on the same page as far as this last bit goes for sure. Regardless of whether it was a screw up or malice, they should be the ones paying the price (though sadly I suspect we both know they won't).
