everybody on ilx complains about reddit

"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.

fuck you for making me laugh at this

lol, that was a+

👏

It really does suck to see play out once again, but it sure seems like a fair number of people are absolutely gobsmacked to find out that the government and Wall Street would circle their wagons to prop up the broken capitalist system that ensures only the "right" people get rich.

Did the government intervene?

there are rumors but dont seem to be more than that at this point afaict

I mean, not officially or openly yet, but let's not pretend there haven't been some frantic off the record phone calls going on.

For what? Because billions of dollars went from one hedge fund from another?

Yeah, part of this is inevitable which is why I originally got into my positions, but if there is more interference like today then who knows.

Dayooooo

The narrative that Robinhood stopping GME is some big wall street conspiracy against the little guy is some sort silicon-valley elon musk utopianism bullshit.

do you do ANY posts that aren't smarmy neolib concern trolling bullshit?

Being concerned that billionaires are going to make extra billions out of a bunch of redditors about to lose their shirts because they were basically tricked into using something like Robinhood isn't exactly a very neolib stance.

I just make the case this is not the populist battle of the regular little guy vs the villain hedge funds some people are trying to make it to be. Are hedge funds generally evil? Yes, and a lot of them got much richer yesterday.

My position wrt to hedge funds is that they should be regulating into non-existence. I know people who lost thousands of dollars this morning because of this shit show and I'm angry the casino won, again.
