A rising tide of discontent is bubbling over as people confront Robinhood after a series of rejected buy orders during a significant price drop on 10/10. Many users felt robbed as prices plummeted to $0.10 at 4:20 PM, leading to allegations of unfair practices and insider trading.
Amid their grievances, a wave of people flocked to forums and user boards, vocalizing their anger over the brokerage's failure to execute orders during crucial moments. "I had over 40 rejected purchase orders. It felt very shady that the app wouldnβt let me do anything at every opportune moment," a dissatisfied user stated. Many expressed their frustration, echoing similar experiences.
As discussions deepened, some users proposed that Robinhood might be engaging in corrupt practices. One noted, "Just delete this app. Iβd rather pay a 10% premium than deal with the complete corruption this app plays into."
Concerns about potential insider trading surfaced: "The exchange is literally using insider trading against its customers. How many peopleβs buy order at 10c could not get filled?" These sentiments have bolstered the push for accountability.
The atmosphere remains predominantly bleak, although some investors hold a glimmer of hope. "Still not too late to buy the dip," said one user, contrasting the prevailing anxiety among the crowd.
"Man, Robinhood robbed all of us," was a common sentiment echoing through the commentary.
