No actual evidence in this article that this "PR Move" was anything other than a common garden folly. This article and "research" is long on assumption and speculation and has less evidence than an arthurian tale. Can modern historians provide anything of substance these days?

Disgusting reminder of the failures of nonprofit stewardship and government overreach. That foundation should never have been in peril, and the blatant overreach "for the public good" of a citizen's private property is terrifying.

Why would "anti-family" laws make sense? People who come from stable families are statistically much much more likely to be happy, successful and contribute to society.

Here is the CEO of a big brokerage explaining how bad of a situation the hedge funds (shorts) were in, they made a terrible trade.

All you need to know. Shorts made a terrible bet and had Robinhood cut off retail to save their asses.

Robinhood, along with half a dozen other banks/brokers who were well capitalized all decided to restrict trading, and continued to do so until the price was 1/10th of the high. Just a little poor money management folks, nothing to see here!

Rubbish. TD Ameritrade, WeBull and half a dozen other brokers with gigantic balance sheets also suspended trading. This was a rug pull executed by Robinhood on behalf of it's clients.

1) The NSCC (DTCC) confirmed that all parties met their depository requirements.

Even if they had not met the requirements (again, which they did), a depository requirement change is not an extenuating circumstance in the least. That is part and parcel of this business.
