Citadel is a hedge fund that owns Melvin Capital Management.

Melvin is a $GME short seller predicted to lose BILLIONS due to the people taking the free market back.

Citadel owns the app Robinhood.

Citadel banned purchases of new $GME shares on RH.

Market manipulation.

You should probably include the correction Shane made later:

"Citadel isn’t a majority owner of RH, but they DO pay RH a hefty figure to the app for consumer data. On top of the money paid to bail out Melvin.

All they have to do is threaten to pull that money for data from RH and RH pulls new share purchases of $GME.

It’s wild."


Citadel doesn't own Robinhood.


Yeah, I keep seeing this claim posted that Citadel owns Robinhood, but I can't find any evidence to back it up. The Wikipedia pages for each don't mention the other.
