The problem with the conspiracy theory about Citadel forcing Robinhood to halt GME is that plenty of providers for whom Citadel wasn't most of their revenue also halted GME. There are other reasons this conspiracy is silly, but that fact seems to kill it pretty dead.

I don't like Robinhood and don't feel any need to apologize for it; I think they're predatory. But this isn't why.

"Fraud of the century" is pretty funny, though. Kudos.

Even here in Australia, the trading platforms I use all restricted trading on GME.

There's little chance that the Big Four banks in Australia were all part of a conspiracy to ripping off investors, at least in regards to GME (they're too busy ripping Aussies off via their superannuation).
