Maybe not clear cut corruption, but a big conflict of interest.

Citadel has a good interest stake in Melvin Capital: https://www.wsj.com/articles/citadel-point72-to-invest-2-75-...

Melvin Capital is the hedge fund that's directly hurting from retail investor actions. That's an easy google you can do yourself.

Citadel stands to lose quite a bit of money from retail investors now and potential in the future. So them giving a regulatory authority 700k to talk about the issue... is it really hard to imagine which way Yellen is going to lean on this one?

Citadel also pays millions and millions of dollars to Robinhood in order to get first look on its customer orders.
