So how in ur train of thought do BROKERAGES get paid less if a hedge fund losses cash? Do you understand its not the brokerages own money in these funds right? That its pension plans, accredited investors cash and so on? So why would a discount brokerage such as fidelity or Robin hood or any other care about protecting a short position in a hedge fund?

Yall are ridiculous.
Wtf are you even talking about. I’ve said none of that.:hhh:


For one, Robinhood’s parent Citadel has BAILED OUT MELVIN CAPITAL(the fund currently getting targeted). Citadel represents 40% of Robinhoods revenue.

Their calculus is easy, whatever fines and lawsuits that arrive from this trade stopping will be less devastating than having VCs and hedge funds going belly up. I’m pretty sure there’s multiple people in all of these brokerages that stand to take a bath if these losses materialize.
