All robinhood orders go to Citadel for execution because that is how they make money. Citatel just bailed out Melvin who shorted GME https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/27/hedge-fund-targeted-by-reddi... So the call to Robinhood was probably from Citadel. It's disgusting that instead of saying just this, they hypocritically "protected" their users.
