I have explained multiple times why trading got shut down, how robinhood got caught short of margin, how we can literally see from released data that Citadels flows were not particularly sided.

Never the less, the same people who now understand what happened continue to use it as a hill to stick an anti establishment flag upon

i think it’s just bad UX. my understanding is that Citadel acts as the market maker for Robinhood. if it ever can’t provide liquidity for a trade, you need to handle that case explicitly. make it clear to the user where liquidity comes from and how much of it there is, otherwise they can’t reach for any cause besides “Robinhood (Citadel) decided to pull a switch”. order books used to serve that role: i’m not sure what the solution is in this era of HFT.

If you have queries about flows from a US broker to market makers, you can look for the 606 and 607 reports on their website. e.g. https://robinhood.com/us/en/about/legal/

"you need to handle that case explicitly .. order books used to serve that role: i’m not sure what the solution is in this era of HFT."

This is addressed by a Smart Order Router.

Meanwhile the PE firms that owned the bonds are now converting them into equity, dumping it on retail and cashing out.

DUDE WE ARE STICKING IT TO THE MAN SO BAD. SILVER LAKE IS JUST LIKE US.
