everybody on ilx complains about reddit

Both unknowns right now, but not, "meaningless".

sigh! lol

i am going to get lag∞n disbarred

there might be some relation to them and Citadel (the fund that loaned Melvin money) taking user info for their own trades but i haven't had time to confirm anything.

robinhood trades are routed through citadel and citadel pays robinhood for order flow so citadel can frontrun the trades. this is how RH makes money and how RH offers no fee trading.

there are (twitter) rumors floating around that citadel reloaded their shorts before all the brokerages restricted trading on GME, AMC and others - basically a turkey shoot.

i should clarify that the citadel that trades for its own account is separate from the citadel that clears trades / acts as market maker, but all is ultimately owned by ken griffey jr.

lol, is lag∞n a lawyer?

yeah i saw all that but i just always go by the assumption things are rumors unless confirmed.

the new short thing does make sense because a huge block of puts were bought and the short rate went up a bit right before everyone started getting locked out of each broker.

after Kelly Loefeller got away with making a ton of cash liquidating stock last year because she had inside info on how bad COVID-19 was gonna get I've pretty much assumed there was no such thing as stock crimes for millionaires, sorry folks

anyway robinhoods tos isnt going to stop any lawsuits and its unlikely to decide any, now if their business/marketing practices are well aligned with their tos fine, but if theyre talking out of both sides of their mouth then theres a good chance a judge or a jury is going to find the tos to be... basically meaningless

i am most certainly not

brb just writing up a tos that says i can do whatever i want

here's my tos: fuck you

"the LAW-goon" would be a bad but interesting name for a legal blog

not interesting. plausible. it could exist.

my website says that i am nice and here to help you, and in fact the name of it is the website by a nice guy, but in my tos it says actually i am mean and will hurt you

oh i dont have a tos am i supposed to

if a jury decides this case i will pay you a million dollars

I think your desire to see those in power get theirs (which I share) is clouding your judgment of the possibility of that happening (exceedingly remote).

lol xp

idk guys this seems like an obvious case of market manipulation

The most shocking thing to me is that the T&C don't have a mandatory individual arbitration clause. Did those get outlawed or something?

letting people sell a stock but not buy it in an attempt to protect one or more third parties, including probably citadel who they are in business with?

financial services companies pay prob billions of dollars in civil settlements every year, its quite common, cost of doing business, as harbl said almost never sees a courtroom

doesnt constitute those in power getting theirs, nor did i ever think it did

treeesh, and if that all were true, you think they would somehow be held liable? Fucking lol, no way.

They literally atomized the entire world economy almost 13 years ago and how many individuals went to jail? 5?

i like to get those class action emails that say i can have a $5 coupon if i respond by x date, gives me a good feeling about class actions coming out good for anyone except lawyers

i cashed one in one time as a lark cant remember what it was got $7

steve cohen has been charged and pled guilty before, he can get charged and plead guilty every year while wearing the mr met hat.

its true the mr met hat is more powerful than even a tos

if a jury decides this case i will pay you a million dollars

No shit, my biggest class action windfall was as a result of shenanigans relating to marketing of bar review courses. My wife and I each got $250 about 10 years after we took the bar.

all readers owe me $5, reoccurring annually

i got $28 from sirius xm because they left me voicemail when the free sirius xm trial that came with our car expired. i do not even check my voicemail.

ps hi 龜!!!

thats correct voicemails should cost $28 dollars each

"by responding after the beep you agree that you owe me $28".

i'm sorry thats how contract law works.

lawyers generally discussing the law: something extremely likely and something extremely unlikely are exactly the same thing

lawyers working on a case: we are absolutely correct will win and god is on our side

fair

Settlement is a helluva drug.
