    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel are Robinhood biggest customer for retail traders flows. Citadel just bailed out Melvin capital.

  • 100_uhmillion $100 to $1,000,000 (@100_uhmillion) reported

    @IBKR wtf bro

  • CaponNc CaponNC (@CaponNc) reported

    @IBKR This is 100% a coordinated effort to support the shorts and manipulate prices. By directly taking out the option to buy, they kneecapped demand and force prices down, all so the shorts can cover their positions.

  • lbacmom2 LBAC (@lbacmom2) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Chase down

  • ponchpi Ponchito (@ponchpi) reported

  • McDoubleAddMac Mcdouble (@McDoubleAddMac) reported

  • soulieman74 Stephen Soulis (@soulieman74) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Robinhood claims to be for the people but it is run by the big boys clearly. They saw what was happening at 7am and shut it down to reverse premarket into red and create a panic sell at bell. Problem is everyone is holding. Tomorrow is doom for shorts. Ain’t nothing stopping it.

  • erinschlick €rîn! (@erinschlick) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Was wondering that or if they’re questioning the sources and Info on those sites. If they were of sketchy origins would they shut em down? Seems like an awful idea otherwise for em. This is the best thing ever for them

  • Akil4PDX Black Excellence is Real! (@Akil4PDX) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR This bullshit will you help us in a class action and break these fools?

  • BoomChainsaw BoomStickChainsaw (@BoomChainsaw) reported

    @IBKR i just got approved from you guys this morning. Not gonna be trading with you after this information. Pretty happy i didnt put any money in my account before you showed your true colors. WSB!!!! **** the suits

  • ErnstBlofield Reformed central banker (@ErnstBlofield) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel shorts stock. Price goes up. Citadel tells Robinhood to turn off the buy button but leave the sell button. Price goes down. Citadel wins.

  • jason_in_SoCal J Man (@jason_in_SoCal) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They probably don’t want liability of these guys suing the brokers after these stocks come back down to earth.

  • VonSamuel Samuel (@VonSamuel) reported

    @IBKR Wtf is this ****? This is outrageous.

  • spittinfactsyo Spittinfactsyo (@spittinfactsyo) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It’s not investing, it’s speculation and gambling and their intent was to help people who don’t have access to the market get access to it. Despite their name, they don’t actually want to steal from the rich

  • Beygovich Daz (@Beygovich) reported

    @IBKR But I'm not even able to buy $GME via cash...wtf is that. This is complete bullshit.

  • HMZHABIB Hamza Habib (@HMZHABIB) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m hearing Citadel, Robinhoods liquidity provider holds the largest shorts in those stocks. Hence they don’t want to support any new buying in those stocks. Smells bad, very bad indeed (if true)!

  • LilDontFollowMe Lou Swimmin (@LilDontFollowMe) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Corrupt as ****, just like anything else with this country

  • BigSkiDude BigSkiDude (@BigSkiDude) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR in order to provide free trades, fractional share trading, they have had to make deals with traditional trading firms that may ultimately show, that even disclosed, were bad medicine for small individual investors...but who knows.

  • Young__Edge EJ (@Young__Edge) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Worst part is robinhood is gaining more followers by the second...

  • HMZHABIB Hamza Habib (@HMZHABIB) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m heating citadel, Robinhoods liquidity provider holds the largest shorts in those stocks. Hence they don’t want to support any new buying in the stocks. Smells bad, very bad.

  • mikelc88 Mikel (@mikelc88) reported

    @IBKR WORST BROKER EVER. DELETE YOURSELF.

  • Callum_Sumner Callum (@Callum_Sumner) reported

    @IBKR Corrupt scum. You knew what this would do to the price to help your hedge fund buddies. People will remember this and your business will suffer.

  • Muhamma31273647 Muhammad Jawad Iqbal Khan (@Muhamma31273647) reported

    @IBKR @MrZackMorris @ripster47 if everyone hold their stocks and shorts are required to post 300% margin, it magnifies the problem for short and price should shoot up.

  • chimerians Chimerians (@chimerians) reported

    @IBKR terrible! closing my account today

  • itsJoeCool22 Joe (@itsJoeCool22) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They have a habit of doing this. Did the same thing during the crash in March. They have a habit of freezing transactions when it behooves them.

  • TannuhB Tana braquet (@TannuhB) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They can’t shut down crypto. Buy dogecoin and Bitcoin!

  • RokGalun rok (@RokGalun) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR get doncic help

  • ConnorReddick Connor Reddick (@ConnorReddick) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m guessing they don’t have the cash to trade at this scale. They’ve already been in trouble in the past for using user funds to pay out positions for other customers.
