While I agree this doesn't look great, I'm sure theres a few more possible explanations.

Eg Robinhood could have notified the sipc some more or less reasonable time ago, that they were planning this product, and the sipc took a(n un) reasonable time to get back to them.

Maybe they played golf with someone at the sipc who said they'd sort it, and it would be fine.

Ifs, buts, maybes. The margin for error is a lot smaller when you're asking people to trust you with their money.

Agreed.

Just wanted to point out that there are scenarios where it isn't completely Robinhood's fault.

And they probably aren't evil business men out to rob from the poor, to give to the rich. Occam's razor and all that.
