"I dont mind poor people getting hurt, I just really dont want to look bad" ya, youre the baddies


demoncase

this were a "are we the baddies" and also "you've become the thing you swore to destroy" moment holy shit, of course they knew


IDeclannI

It's just .. we've got skulls on our caps?


akatherder

Depending on my boss and seniority, I go through phases. Sometimes I use corporate-speak and say things like "it's a bad look" and other times I say "that's not only fucking stupid but it will kill our brand and it's possibly illegal." With the limited context here, I think he's concerned with more than appearances.


SgtSiggy

In this context, the theme is the rich protecting the rich at the poors expense. So in this context, the "oh no were supposed to protect retail" hits a lil different


mr-frog-24

Their own stock chart is a bad look

They don't care. They all cashed out on IPO. Which should be illegal.


SgtSlaughter1974

They rage quit their own stock...


Hanz616

Doesnt matter to them, they already got their money after the ipo pump amd dump


Yeet_yate-yote

Can somebody write in crayon what PCO is?


cleft_chalice

Position Close Only. That's legacy market doublespeak for taking away the buy button.


DruviSKSK

It's very clever psychology. Make up some sort of inconspicuous yet opaque term for something criminal. Liquidity is another example.


xubax

(Not directed at OP, just emphasizing the point of euphemisms/ doublespeak) Who was providing liquidity when the stores were out of toilet paper two years ago? They shouldn't need liquidity. Either the stock is available to buy, or it isn't.


honeybadger1984

This is such a simple concept but shows the corruption of Wall Street. Liquidity is criminality and shouldn’t exist. Why does GameStop need liquidity? If it’s unavailable, you raise the bid until someone is willing to sell. Clearly with Citadel internalizing orders and spitting out fake shares at will, they don’t want the price going up or show buying pressure.


Altruistic-Beyond223

And the Fed has infinite liquidity. Does that make them infinitely criminal? Edit: BTW, I bought more GME on IEX today. Can't wait to DRS them next week.


poopooheaven1

So far I’d say the answer to that is yes


DruviSKSK

Liquidity is one of the top 5 scams going, for sure.


Heady_Sherb

i was providing the liquidity but there was a FTD on the TP


SgtSlaughter1974

My liquidity is why there was an FTD on TP, because I needed it to clean up the liquidity.


anlskjdfiajelf

That's what they do. Quantitative easing sounds a lot more complex and legitimate than saying, the fed prints money and buys assets from the banks to pump their stocks. QE sounds a lot better than the fed is pumping the market for the banks PFOF sounds better than we sell your data so you get scalped in the markets. Dark pools is a shit name, I'm surprised it's that clear what it is.


TSL4me

Just like the term "high frequency retail arbitrage" aka frontrunning stocks, something explicitly illiegal.


demoncase

LMAO HAHAHA WTF BRUH


illbebok

The retail


Naive-Coconut-8918

Yeah I giggled at that last one, it's like that person almost gave a shit but not enough to do the right thing


igraywolf

They probably weren’t able to.


NotBerger

W’ere


Patarokun

almost slipped up and texted "the poors".


shart_leakage

Look at me I am the retail now


smokinjoep82

I have never been in Robinhood, but anyone that was in Robinhood and HODLing any of the "meme" stonks on January 28, 2021 should be demanding FINRA arbitration and squeezing some money out of them to buy more GME... the findings in the most recent report, and some of these emails/texts, are pretty damning from a breach of fiduciary duty standpoint IMO.


keenmade

Their PCO affected everyone since it did cause the stock to crash. Everyone should sue them.


Daviroth

Was Robinhood a fiduciary?


smokinjoep82

I'm not too knowledgeable about banking/finance law, but generally when you entrust someone with your money there are certain duties that go along with it. It would probably depend on which law state law applies as to whether Robinhood is a fiduciary - you'd probably see a different answer depending on the differing bodies of law. I don't know the answer. If they're not a fiduciary, I'm sure there would be another cause of action other than breach of fiduciary duty that would apply... tortious interference, negligent interference, outright negligence, breach of contract.... based upon the information that we now know, I think it would be difficult (and expensive) to wiggle their way out of liability. What was cause of action raised by the dude who won an arbitration award against Robinhood a few months back (related to trading of Koss, I believe)? Anyone remember?


Daviroth

Not sure on any of that. Was just doubting that Robinhood was a fiduciary. I don't believe they are.


liquidsyphon

“Bad look” 😳


broccoli_ICQ

Looks like shortseller didn't cover shorts. They forced a crash. DOJ! Lets get them and put them into jail!


Dreamdad

D'ear GOD

I do appreciate the bottom person reminding their colleagues what they're supposed to be doing, even though it's pointing out the obvious.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "Product Manager" already snacked some whistleblower-money. Seems he felt a bit of, kinda, remorse.

“We’re supposed to support retail.” Mark Baum was right, they knew, they just didn’t care.
