The hilarious story of /u/1R0NYMAN and Robin Hood.

SirSoliloquy - What's hilarious is that, with the way robinhood is set up, /u/1R0NYMAN was somehow able to cash out $10,000 of robinhood's money before everything disappeared. So robinhood lost hundreds of thousands, but /u/1RONYMAN gained thousands

TheRealOneTwo - Basically Robin hood screwed up. They were giving people leverage without margin. Basically saying you are good for $200k in trades though you only had $1k in the account. No agreement for a loan (margin). Trader was shortboxing and lost. The actual risk to him was nothing since he did not agree to a loan (will be determined by the SEC). Robin hood is on the hook for his losses. RH has since blocked shortboxing.
