20 yr old commits suicide after believing he’s 730K in debt via Robinhood

Couple articles.


Apparently happened last year and now that the Robinhood app is under fire this year, the parents are suing them.
They probably think the public controversy will help their case.


The kid believed he was in $730K debt to Robinhood via stock loss, and decided he didn’t want to give that bill to his parents so he jumped in front of a moving train.

Just wow.


Turns out he wasn’t really in any debt. How ****** do u gotta be for one...and two, how tf u got the money at 20 years old to be investing and **** like that while you’re in college?
Unless his parents have him money to invest, which isn’t a bright move being he’s only 20. And as we can see, not very bright...

I would have trash talked Earnie Shavers because it would make for a better story at my funeral.

20 year olds aren’t fully developed and they still have that teenage angst. Things hit them hard.

that app should sue the parents for not raising the kid right. a 20 yr old that wants to die for this had other issues and scars he was dealing with

It wasn’t stock value loss. It was shorting.

It's not shorting either.. it's a complex option put.. he got margin (loan) from broker.. he thought he owed money on the contrary he is up.. he didnt understand he just needed to exercise his options that was up..

Ah man, that’s so sad. So how much did he actually owe?

Edit: just read it, those ****s misled the kid. They were demanding instant payments of hundreds of thousands and the kid couldn’t contact any customer service etc.
