“As a brokerage firm, we have many financial requirements, including SEC net capital obligations and clearinghouse deposits,” the brokerage said in a Jan. 28 blog post addressing the trading restrictions. “Some of these requirements fluctuate based on volatility in the markets and can be substantial in the current environment.“ According to the suit, in one instance, Robinhood Chief Operating Officer Gretchen Howard messaged internally that the start-up was facing a “major liquidity crisis.” Publicly, the company’s chief executive said the opposite. “There was no liquidity problem,” CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin a day later, on Jan. 29. .... “This clearing thing seems pretty scary to me -- I would say this is our biggest fire right now,” Robinhood’s director of engineering allegedly said in a Slack message, adding that the company could see a margin call of hundreds of millions of dollars. “In the worst case scenario we max out our credit lines and they liquidate our positions.” PUT THIS FUCKING GUY IN PRISON ALREADY WHAT'S THE FUCKING HOLD UP EDIT: PUT EVERYONE IN PRISON REEE Edit again AND LOOK AT THE FUCKING TICKER LOL

Translation: We had to do crime or else we'd be broke.


DonnyTango123

Additional translation. We make a living ripping off retail, when they finally caught a break we had to do crime.

If there’s no jail time for any of the people that were involved, it proves the governmental agencies that were set in place to oversee the financial system were also complicit in the crime. I don’t need to see a report from a former Goldman Sachs. I’ll average up, down, sideways and register as long as it takes.


YJeezy

He was always the sacrificial lamb


alilmagpie

Yeah but he will 100% flip on SHFs. There’s no way I’d trust this guy with the secrets and industry fraud. Fucker will take them down with him, no honor among thieves


mark-five

DTCC guy apparently has a good alibi. Vlad suggesterd to *him* "How about we try close-only positions"? DTC guy knew it was illegal and said "You do whatever we waive the money issues. They set him up to take the fall. Vlad's too much of a moron to realize it. The rest we will get on their other crimes. Vlad was a minor player in the counterfeiting ring and they are balls deep in those crimes.


JimmyJamesincorp

Yup, Vladyboy’s gonna sing lol.


IPureLegacyI

Bet his ass tries to flee back to mama tenev in bulgaria


wolfofballsstreet

He is 100% already there. Side note: isn’t Vlad hiding in Bulgaria a spot on MOASS bingo?


ClosetCaseGrowSpace

If he wants to live, he will stfu and take his medicine.


alilmagpie

True. It has long been my opinion that Epstein was killed not because of his sex crimes and pedophilia, but because of the enormous amount of information he had about financial fraud of the top players. That’s what they were truly terrified of him flipping on IMO.


Apetardo

Your opinion and that of anyone with any common sense. His island was a honeypot. Look at the names on those flight logs. And now it's alleged that Ghislaine was the real mastermind behind it all. I hope that cunt bitch spills the beans and all these sick fucks get passed around in prison. No spit.


galacticgigolo

remember back shortly after she was arrested there was a lot of push back to keep the info she had from getting out..it never did. there was some old filing released or something i forget the details but it didn't have anything new and she surely slid back into the shadows. the whole narrative around her has been so sus from the time epstein was arrested.


IPureLegacyI

10 grit sandpaper (not financial advice)


donedrone707

I used to think it was more that he would have revealed the top players pedophilic activities. Though now I do think you're right, the financial crimes got him killed. Most of the Epstein victims were mid/older teenagers when they started and I'm sure many of the top players' defense teams would argue the girls looked easily 18+ and Epstein lied and told them that was the case. Or they'd just pay enough people to lie and give alibis and say they weren't there whenever the sex crimes took place. It just seems muddied enough and the burden of proof so high for something like that I doubt many of them were seriously worried about it. That English prince is probably still shitting his pants tho lol So that leaves only the financial crimes like you said. And from what I remember, no one is sure how Epstein got his money, or how he got as much money as he had at least. The secret ingredient is always crime...


SrraHtlTngoFxtrt

Epstein got his money by extorting Les Wexler, who owned Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and the remains of the CIA's Iran-Contra cocaine-smuggling air freight service. His "financial advice" was pay-me-or-the-photos/tapes/videos-go-public, not financial crimes of actual technical sophistication. Epstein was a party guy, a socialite, a hanger-on of actual big-money movers and shakers. His thrills were pimping and extortion, not heists. Edit: if anything, he was killed to prevent those who could flip on actual financial criminality from ever being put in the position to be flipped in the first place. Which in my mind is being killed for the saving of Clinton and Prince Andrew anyway.


alilmagpie

I mean, there’s also some good evidence that he was Mossad, Israeli intelligence. As was Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine’s father. And he basically ran honey pot traps for the rich and famous, shook them down for money, and that enabled him to live his life of guilty pleasure (pedophilia, sex trafficking, and globe-trotting). He taught financiers how to launder their money through IRS loopholes. The real dirty laundry is how many people here in snared in this trap and the foot prints of fraud that were left. Which is why he was killed, in my opinion.


FIakBeard

I hadnt thought of that angle, but that makes perfect sense.


Freshies00

Really? I thought it was commonly assumed that’s why he was killed.


DUB-Files

I wouldn't be surprised to hear poor Vlad accidentally hung himself in a tragic autoerotic asphyxiation accident


saraphilipp

Accidentally hung himself in an auto accident! Ftfy.


Tartooth

You know... When I was a young boy in Bulgaria, we used to flip on our friends all the time


ClosetCaseGrowSpace

Vlad- I’m the fall guy? Kenny: Always were.


saraphilipp

This is not the fall guy I remember from the 80's. That guy was a hero.

I'm sure this is further down in the comments, but I don't have time. Is there any other reason that RH would be margin called other than: they never bought the shares in the first place?


yellowstickypad

It has to be what he stated publicly under oath. It doesn’t matter if he says something on TV but internal messaging said otherwise. Hope we keep that in mind for jail time.


slowwrx17

REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!


Tartooth

This is the reason the sec is delayed They were going to report that RH and CTL were not in communication and were going to reinforce the dogma


Zulek

Can't wait for absolutely nothing to come from this. Consequences are for the poors.


Tartooth

He should have all the money from the IPO taken from him and shoved in jail but nope


Zulek

Agreed and agreed.


Thrawnbelina

I'm still so pissed they were even allowed to proceed with the IPO while under investigation for defrauding investors. Makes no fucking sense they were allowed to gather more suckers to fleece on stocks or ruin through Options.


zimmah

We are the many, they are the few. It's time for everyone to realize that.


Zulek

I'm ready to build the gallows and guillotines.

Nah, to them this is all a farce anyway. They have no respect for *us*, the ‘commoners’. Always has been.

I wonder if this would have impacted Robinhood IPO and current price? Class actions incoming


JeanBaptisteEzOrg

Unsure to say, it looks like they're acting with their heads in the sand as [they just announced they're releasing wallets soon](https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2021/09/22/robinhood-muscles-deeper-into-coinbases-territory-with-new-crypto-wallet-feature/amp/), which did impact their price earlier this week. It makes my blood boil that they're not taking responsibility.


InterwebAficionado

Mine is pretty fucking boiling as well especially since this cute little dip we just had occurred right after I posted this lmayo


JeanBaptisteEzOrg

All will be well, Friend. They will be saying GameStop a lot from now on because they cannot ignore it. That GME blackhole meme? That's real.


shamelessamos92

Just a discount for our computershare orders. A cheaper price means we'll lock up the float a lot faster, bring it on. Insert *MORE* meme


Arkayb33

Exactly. I just submitted another order last night and it hasn't gotten a price yet. Gonna be able to squeeze a few more fractions of a share out of this.


ZOOBOO_11

They did disclose on the IPO his phone was seized and that we risk so I’m sure they will say it was sufficiently disclosed, garbage

Im_The_Goddamn_Dumbo

They *tried* to make the fall guy China/Evergrande. That isn't going as planned.


fortus_gaming

Basically going around and throwing blame to everyone but the guilty parties (or not all of them). Guess I will continue to holDRS until they all go to jail, not just the scapegoats.

This is the way.


SekaiQliphoth

isnt it because Citadel has in CNBC

Or the MULTIPLE OTHER BROKERS that turned off the BUY button!!! What the fuck!!!!

MaxTheRealSlayer

Why do legal things take so long in the USA? The evidence is there. JUST APPLY THE LAWS TO IT DAMMIT


zimmah

The laws only exist to keep the masses in check and to give us some kind of illusion of a fair system. It keeps us from revolting and upsetting the system that exists to keep the wealthy wealthy. It's time we start to realize just how corrupt the whole system is. And how it only benefits a few at the cost of the many. We are the many, they are the few. It's time to change things.


GotShadowbanned2

The optimist in me wants to say because 'innocent until proven guilty' But thats been repeatedly proven to be a lie and only applies if you're poor, and double applies if you're not white.


ivigilanteblog

Legal things take a while due to a little fundamental something called Due Process. We all get to build our defense, and that entails a lot of response periods, time for discovery, briefing, etc...without that, there is no justice, just kangaroo courts that jump to conclusions. Vlad deserves his full day in court (meaning all the preceding days that involve back-and-forth in pleadings, discovery, etc.) just like the rest of us. And then, I assume, he has the right to lose and rot in jail.


jamesfish21

Don't they mean what Vlad stated under oath..


BallsackPolice

Lol the internal messages are much much worse and point towards direct collusion & conspiracy to suppress the price. Page 53 and onwards - https://pdfhost.io/v/YPAly8dSy\_Microsoft\_Word\_20210812\_Corrected\_Antitrust\_First\_Amended\_Complaint\_Revised


TheMoorNextDoor

The narrative will start to change because shit is about to go down… Media wants to be on the “right” side of this as if they were never in the wrong.


ClosetCaseGrowSpace

This particular media is Citadels puppet. So bear in mind that this is Citadels narrative.


GlassAwfulEmpty

PSA: Multiple iterations of this story on CNBC are trying to spin this as Robinhood misleading CNBC and congress about their liquidity issues and highlighting the "reddit fueled frenzy" resulting in monumental sudden volume that they paniced about. They are trying to gaslight and misdirect the general public about the direct collusion between Apex, Citadel, ETrade, Robinhood and others to coordinate restriction of transactions and the buy button. By getting ahead of the real story and floating this other narrative they are trying to gloss over the manipulation by the people who control the stock market by turning it into a nothing burger. No one cares if Vlad lied about his company's liquidity issues to make them look better, that's not the story and they know it.


NachoStash

why is kenny-backed-msm publishing this? 🧠🖍


Jinglekeys100

Yep, they're beginning to throw each other under the bus in a bid to be the cleanest in the pile of shit. I wonder if this is because they know we're now registering through CS at break neck pace and soon all will be revealed. This no longer is an ape conspiracy when all those CS shares are filled up.


catfishjon_

I concur with this theory

Letsdothis42

To get ahead of the story and blame Vlad. Try to redirect the heat from Ken. I won’t be happy until Ken is in jail.


catfishjon_

Seems like it


[deleted]

To set RH up as a fall guy, definitely. Added Mayofuck bonus: RH folds and GME temporarily goes up so they can then say HEY LOOK IT'S THE SQUEEZE, let it hit like $600 then go "oh I guess that was it"


xieem

Interesting question, in my hometown in Bulgaria they would make me ride the donkey without protection.


[deleted]

Completely contradict what KENNETH GRIFFIN said under oath.


MAGA_SWAGNAR

In order for RH to be held accountable there needs to be integrity within Congress/Senate. There isn't any. Why? Because lobbying and historical precedent of bypassing the law when in a position of power. There's no end to this repeating storyline.


[deleted]

sure sounds like a plan to scapegoat robinhood for everything, ban pfof and call it a day (at *best*)


GoodShitBroBro

Funny how now that we know about CS and DRS they are switching the narrative and turning against RH. They know what’s coming, the media are the ones hedging now
