Upstart brokerage Robinhood faces a civil fraud probe by the SEC over a failure to fully disclose its practice of selling clients’ orders to high-speed trading firms

Robinhood Markets Inc. faces a civil fraud investigation over its early failure to fully disclose its practice of selling clients’ orders to high-speed trading firms, people familiar with the matter said.

The investigation is at an advanced stage and the company could have to pay a fine exceeding $10 million if it agrees to settle the Securities and Exchange Commission probe, one of the people said. A deal, however, is unlikely to be announced this month, the people said, and the two sides haven’t formally negotiated a proposed fine, the person said.

A Robinhood spokeswoman declined to comment on the investigation or any talks with regulators, but said: “We strive to maintain constructive relationships with our regulators and to cooperate fully with them.”

they deserve it. I have finally started to take my money out, after they failed to respond to my multiple requests over the period of one month, to change my account to a cash account. These guys are definitely fraudulent.

Lol.

Spoiler: They’ll settle for a small fine and won’t have to admit guilt (whatever charges there may be). No one should expect someone like Jay Clayton to actually regulate.
