By that spring, Alex Kearns, a twenty-year-old student at the University of Nebraska, had been using Robinhood for about two years. The app had permitted him to trade options just months after he opened his account. Kearns grew up in Naperville, Illinois, with his sister and his parents. His father is an I.T. professional at a financial-services firm. The family was close.
