If you lose 50k it is your problem, if you lose 50m it is the Robinhood’s problem now.

If someone loses 50m, it could become a problem for everyone with a margin account or everyone with a cash account and uninvested cash in their Robinhood account due to Rehypothecation Risks.

But first it would be a problem for the owners of Robinhood private stock as their shares are severely diluted for huge equity infusions.
