Robinhood, the stock trading app at the center of the bizarre GameStop saga, has long been controversial. Even before the free service was recently made headlines, Robinhood was accused of downplaying the risks of stock trading, presenting essentially complex financial instruments as a game in its bid to attract young people and new investors.
That strategy has had tragic consequences. In June 2020, a student named Alexander Kearns committed suicide after seeing a negative balance of over $ 700,000 in his Robinhood account, although some of his transactions were incomplete. In a suicide note, Kearns mentioned Robinhood, asking how he could take so much risk because of this.
