What's a "small bug"? What's a "high quality shop"? I've spent years doing software security assessments for much larger financial service firms than Robin Hood, and found far worse things than this.

The broker/dealer I work for stops trading on bugs causing much smaller (even $0) material impact.

For brokers in particular, they are highly regulated and I can't imagine them not ending up with a nasty investigation+large fine from regulators over this.
