I thought RobinHood helped Citadel front run the orders?

See https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/29/robinhood...

Payment for order flow is not front running (which is illegal).

Citadel believes that they are less likely to lose money when they fill orders from retail investors. They're just paying for access to rubes, basically a finders fee.
