Just actually got an email from Robinhood an hour ago, as it turns out.

Not buying it for a minute.

Bankrupted Hedge Fund Managers To Receive $600 Stimulus

U.S.—Hedge fund managers nearly bankrupted by Redditors are desperately trying to fight back, but it's not looking good as the internet populist uprising continues.

Rich Wall Street investors getting squeezed by the GameStop buying frenzy are taking solace in the fact, though, that they'll get a $600 stimulus check.

"I think it's a lot of money, sure, we would have liked to get more, but $600 is significant," said Nancy Pelosi in a press conference Thursday. "I'm happy we were able to accomplish at least that much for them. We would have gotten more, but Trump blocked it."

:wink-very:

Inordinately Right
Too late. Too much money was lost because of what they did.
So supposedly, actually executing the trades fully takes 48 hours, and the clearinghouses require a a lot of capital from the brokerage firms as a guarantee.

Because trade volume was so high, Robinhood may have been concerned about the amount of liquidity they had left available for their service, so they halted trading. Now they're saying they've secured more lines of credit so they're allowing trading again.

Not sure I buy it, but that's what the financial talking heads were saying yesterday.

Sounds like a load of BS to me
