Retail traders were left fuming earlier today when Robinhood and other trading platforms curbed buying of stocks that the Reddit community WallStreetBets has targeted in its bid to bankrupt hedge funds.
Many saw this as a blatantly corrupt, and potentially criminal, move to rig the rules in order to protect the interests of multi-billionaire Wall Street financial interests that stand to lose vast sums of money if the stocks don’t plummet in value.
Now a person claiming to be a Robinhood employee claimed on Reddit that the Biden administration contacted the broker to pressure it to close trading on GME. The post has since gone viral, receiving over 23,000 upvotes.
The full post is reprinted below;
I work for Robinhood. Don’t kill me.
Low-level, technical shit, comp sciences major, not finance side.
Guess what we overhead today?
Vladimir, yes founder Vladimir, and the C-Suite, received calls from Sequoia Capital and the White House that pressured into closing trading on GME etc. I guarantee you the same took place at E-Trade and the others who closed trading.
File reports on the SEC page. If I wasn’t scared to be out of work in a pandemic I’d quit. I’m disgusted. We all need to rise up, this is as bad as it gets when we talk about how the rich get one set of rules, and the rest of us get screwed over, and over, and over again left to bail them out and pick up the tab for their trillion dollar tax breaks. We need to pile pressure on every government and financial institution involved in this travesty of justice.
I’m taking a massive career risk even posting here but fuck these motherfuckers.
The Biden White House said it was “monitoring” the GameStop situation yesterday but hasn’t announced any action publicly.
Over on the WallStreetBets Reddit forum, the consensus seems to be that the post is not believable, and may even be a ploy to panic GameStop stock holders into selling.
Meanwhile, in an email sent out in the last hour, Robinhood says it will allow “limited buys” of GameStop and other similar stocks tomorrow.
Cancel Robinhood.
Looks like enough evidence to impeach Biden.
Of course. The Rats always change the rules.
Jen Psaki has a brother who is a portfolio manager at Citadel, the firm behind Robin Hood.
I’m certain lindsy graham will launch an exaustive investigation to get to the bottom of this.
These thugs weren’t held liable for anything the last 4 years and they’re certainly not going to be held accountable in this corrupt administration.
There is no longer a rule of law for these criminals. If bernie madoff were a member of this cabal, he to would be given a free pass.
Disgusting!
I believe
I bet this guy is young and naive. Of course, most Americans dont understand how truly evil the Democrat elites are. But it’s nice to get confirmation of Bidens duplicity.
So THAT is why the media tried saying it was “Trumpsters” who did it.
I remember that pic well.
Says it all.
Peasants mind your place...
If you had a video proving it, they would laugh and say so what? They own all of congress and the DOJ.
Untouchable... like a dictator.
This thing has blown up big time. Politicians will be falling all over themselves to overreach in righting this wrong that they don’t understand.
Happy bunch
