She took $7.2 million in speaking fees from various Wall Street firms. I would say she’s qualified for her position she’s a great grafter.

Whole lot of smoke here. I’m sorry for the folks that were robbed by Robbenhood but this market rigging is a gift from above for MAGA. It just proves in spades everything Trump ever said about the rigged swamp.
Janet Yellen is a woman, so nothing to see here. Believe all women.
Time to get rid of these deep state swamp creatures. Destroy their reputation. Destroy their lives. Get in their faces and fight. Give them no quarter.
Why the false title?
Why the lie?
It’s an interesting story without doing that.
These “new media” have got to make some effort to be honest and respectable instead of stooping to the level of CNN grade lying.
I talked my kid out of joining the Army.
No one should fight for such a corrupt nation.
Haven’t seen much mention of the irony behind the name Robinhood as it relates to this story. Not exactly stealing from the rich to give the the poor, are they?
GamerGate II: Electric Boogaloo!
Amen!!
Eight days in and they’ve got themselves a barnburner of a scandal.
This is a big one.
Allegedly Robin Hood sent this late today:
It’s been a tough day, and we’re grateful to you for being a Robinhood customer. In light of the extraordinary market conditions this week, we temporarily limited buying for certain securities this morning. Starting tomorrow, we plan to allow limited buys of these securities. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and may make adjustments as needed.
This was a temporary decision made to best continue serving you, and was not an easy one to make. We know it’s led to frustration and confusion, and wanted to provide some clarity.
As a brokerage firm, we have many financial requirements, including SEC net capital obligations and clearinghouse deposits. Some of these requirements fluctuate based on volatility in the markets and can be substantial in the current environment. These requirements exist to protect investors and the markets and we take our responsibilities to comply with them seriously, including through the measures we have taken today.
To be clear, this decision was not made on the direction of any market maker we route to or other market participants.
The past year in particular has shown us that the financial markets are for everyone—not just institutional investors and hedge funds. We’ve seen a new generation enter the market, and they’re sparking conversations about what it means to be an investor. We stand in support of you, our customers. Democratizing finance for all means giving more people access, not less.
We’ll keep monitoring market conditions and will update this Help Center article with the latest changes. We also published a blog post regarding today’s events.
Thank you again for being a Robinhood customer. We’re so grateful for your support.
The stock manipulation is a scandal in itself but if the White House was involved and pressured the online brokerage firms to halt trading, the scandal will officially be HUGE.
Was Janet Yellen involved in the halting of trading in order to protect Citadel, a hedge fund that previously paid her nearly $1 million in speaking fees?

Talk about an appearance of impropriety.
I guess we can waste energy getting all hot and bothered about her abysmal ethics and probable crimes, but we know she’s a Teflon RAT. She’ll be fine.
Yeah but remember, when commies do it its fine, just like with Pelosi and her hubby selling their tesla stock, insider trading is totally fine as long as you have a D next to your name
As with Obama, not a hint of scandal.
Big hedge funds and liberal oligarchs shutting down retail traders, because they are playing them at their own game. Changing the rules, mid-loss. Outrageous, criminal and infuriating.
Well Well Well looks like we got a scandal folks..and only 1 week into the Biden Presidency..quick get Adam Schiff on the phone pronto!!

BOMBSHELL ALLEGATION: Man Claims To Be Robinhood Employee & Says The White House Pressured Halt of GameStop Trading
Thieves gonna steal.
That is the answer.
What was the question? ;-)
Clear thinking when her hand is in the till.
I assume this money came to her while she was a Government employee, and that she did not remit these "fees" to the Treasury.
She should be given 30 days to put her affairs in order, and then hung from a tree until dead.
