had the cash in their accounts to execute the trades. If Robinhood would not execute trades for customers with cash in the account, that is a different story from what I've heard/read.
As I said - Robinhood should have simply eliminated margin trades on Gamestop/AMC. That is - "if you want to buy $10k of gamestop, you need to have $10k in your account available to trade".
That would be "honest" with your customer and not screwing them over. No institution should be lending $ to buy Gamestop stock - it's a blockbuster waiting to happen.) Whether it's 1 year, 5 years or 10 - Gamestop is eventually going out of business (people download video games in 2021.)
