Justin's "tip" was incorrect and he's spreading disinformation.

"To be clear, this was a risk-management decision, and was not made on the direction of the market makers we route to." - Robinhood[0]

Unless there's some transparency and investigation of the matter, it's harder to believe than it is for them to say it.

There will be investigation undoubtedly. So who's got more skin in the game?

Is it Robinhood with an official press release stating their decision didn't come from their market-maker, Citadel, and if this isn't true would face repercussions in court?

Or is it Justin, who like the rest of twitter-verse, if wrong, faces zero repercussions?
