  • Notorious_SGM Simon says (@Notorious_SGM) reported

    @SenSchumer The crisis is with @RobinhoodApp @IBKR you need to form a commission into wtf is happening right now.

  • bobbywiii RJW (@bobbywiii) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR REGULATED MARKET WTF

  • octal Ryan Lackey (@octal) reported

    Wow, @IBKR just went full market manipulator and only allows close orders in GME now. **** these criminals. I hope Congress and SEC completely wreck them all.

  • MsGameTheory Dr. Game Theory (@MsGameTheory) reported

    @IBKR To help your hedge fund buddies and to screw over your regular customers? Wow. DISGUSTING.

  • Poseidon5566 christopher poulley (@Poseidon5566) reported

    @IBKR This has to be manipulation. no leverage just buying straight-up shares whats the problem for you. everyone report on mass to FCA

  • wbart1091 William H Bart (@wbart1091) reported

    @IBKR The system was broken long ago. Only now, people have managed to raise the curtain for the world to see.

  • bytesofben Ben (@bytesofben) reported

    @IBKR Terrible decision. (and I don’t own a single one of the meme stocks) I hope you go out of business.

  • BaeCitizen citizen bae (@BaeCitizen) reported

    @IBKR Disgusting IB! Im already preparing to move my portfolio elsewhere. And you still haven’t reimbursed me for my losses due to the massive crash a month ago 💩

  • middletowndream Middletown Dream (@middletowndream) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Or they are trying to protect their platforms from crashing. Look at RH platform stability record. It's not good.

  • adambrooks1994 Adam (@adambrooks1994) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Although I don’t agree with this, my take would be that they are shutting down trading on these stocks to protect themselves from a future market manipulation lawsuit.

  • SureReno Joshua (@SureReno) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It's the scope bro. House of cards were coming down. WallStreet has been making extreme bets (can't cover) and compound that... You'll see, #WSB broke finance. It's why the rapid crack down was necessary.

  • BluthEars EarsBluth (@BluthEars) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Poor people making money is defecto illegal. Rich issue permits/licenses to circumvent this. This is why prostitution, gambling, or growing and selling food in your yard is illegal. Capital/collateral is a requirement used by the rich to gatekeep who can enter the upper-class.

  • durbrow Ken Durbrow (@durbrow) reported

    @IBKR Whaaaaa!!!! “put certain symbols into liquidation only” WTF!? Why!? That’s a sure recipe for shenanigans. That’s insane. That’s not a market.

  • RoyMckinley11 Roy Mckinley (@RoyMckinley11) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Bottomline this is a clear example of our whole system is rigged to **** the little guy. There will be a French Revolution like event due to the shear magnitude of the system being fixed. The rich will be eaten if someone (billionaire) doesn’t expose and or fix it

  • Zalmoxis_B Zalmoxis_B (@Zalmoxis_B) reported

    @IBKR I was literally just into the application process and about to transfer 250k from trade 212 because I thought you guys were professionals. Guess you are just as corrupt as most other platforms. Shame.. Reputation takes years to build and seconds to be thrown down the drain.

  • E__A_S_M SEC_are_theives (@E__A_S_M) reported

    @IBKR has been locking me out of selling a position that I bought yesterday.... I CANNOT sell to close. What the actual **** is happening. How is this not directly stealing from me. I have video of it all morning. Anyone have experience with organizing class action suits?

  • gordonFree6789 Gordon Freeman (@gordonFree6789) reported

    @IBKR why are hedge fund guys allowed and we aren't? **** your double standards you pieces of ****.

  • Helloyo32088744 Helloyou! (@Helloyo32088744) reported

    @IBKR AWFUL! They make up rules at random times during the day without telling you. They treat you like kids. CEO did not want you to buy bitcoin a few years ago, and does not want you to make any money.

  • PaulHoofman Paul (@PaulHoofman) reported

    @Mindwbw @NotaBubble @IBKR Yeah, the only "safe" $GME entries are at the extremes. It's right in the middle now. My gut tells me big moves for the next 24hrs due to op ex, unless they just shut down completely. I warned about an extended halt in a previous tweet, which will screw the option holders.

  • _dDeltaDt make 1984 fiction again (@_dDeltaDt) reported

    @IBKR I don’t see a problem with changes to margin requirements.

  • Neziwi Neziwi (@Neziwi) reported

    @WebullGlobal @IBKR @RobinhoodApp SHAME ON ALL OF YOU *******. FREE MARKET. LET US BUY. OUR LOSS IS LIMITED BY INITIAL INVESTMENT, SHORT SELLERS HAVE INFINITE LOSS POTENTIAL. WHO ARE YOU REALLY PROTECTING HERE??? **** YOU.

  • tuviaklein Just A Citizen (@tuviaklein) reported from Cherry Hill Mall, New Jersey

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Time to close down the hedge funds🧆

  • kueny_michael Michael Kueny (@kueny_michael) reported

    @chavousc @IBKR They are allowing the trading of stock, not options. The options concern is that the market makers become on the hook for bad bets by clients.

  • ChefBWycoff Benjamin wycoff (@ChefBWycoff) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Webull won’t let you buy either. So shitty. People losing their asses and can’t average down. Asinine.

  • ThomasC40484837 Thomas Crocker (@ThomasC40484837) reported

    @IBKR I've only been trading a couple months and was pretty happy with IBKR until this morning. I thought you provided a service to the people, not regulate how we spend our money?

  • cryptonamiks Namiks (@cryptonamiks) reported

    Closing my @IBKR account because of their participation in manipulating $GME $NOK $AMC. Stopping people from purchasing an instrument because their hedge fund friends are in the red is disgusting behaviour. **** them.

  • AndrewMoldenha3 Andrew Moldenhauer (@AndrewMoldenha3) reported

    @IBKR Just opened an account a couple weeks ago. Glad I didn't fund it yet. I will be closing my account. I will not support any brokerage that refuses to allow free trading. Goodbye. Good luck with the class action lawsuit

  • elijahwilde elijah wilde (@elijahwilde) reported

    @DrX16680328 @IBKR WeBull shut it down also. Don’t go there.

  • TheRealist_BA Blake Arnold (@TheRealist_BA) reported

    @peacock_matt23 @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Damn man hate to hear

  • MrHeibroch Dwayne Petersen (@MrHeibroch) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Mark, you're in a fantastic position. You could buy $100.000.000 worth of GME, earn a buck and **** over market manipulators at the same time. They're literally the bad guys.
