> CLEARLY, Robinhood knows about the infinite leverage bug, they have the capital, resources and engineers to fix it in a day if they want. Not in all cases. Not all leverage is visible to them (though hiding it can certainly constitute fraud on the part of their customers). It's not possible to look at ownership of a security and conclude without error that the owner hasn't leveraged it in some other way. I think the bigger question is whether or not Robinhood's bug constitutes an actionable enforcement action by the SEC. There are rules about how this stuff is supposed to be accounted, and I'm absolutely certain they're in violation of a bunch of them. A fine is probably the median expectation, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them fold entirely. Hell I wouldn't be shocked to see someone there end up in jail when this is all done. |
