There's a pattern in founders like this that's worth studying if you care about wealth.
He built Robinhood, democratized investing, made a fortune, then walked away to build data centers in space.
Most people, once they hit billionaire status, protect it. He redeployed it into something harder.
That's the difference between people who get rich once and people who compound across a lifetime.

In addition to this, the EU, Britain, Israel, the Republican P

Why is the American way now "scam as hard as you can and take what you can get away with?" instead of Benjamin Franklin's "industry and frugality"?

A guy who were selling personal data at highest bid to every hedge funds and call Robinhood free and intentionally halted the trading when hedge friends were losing billions for shorting the stocks.

I broke up with my girlfriend, Robin Hood.

WSJ is trash for giving this scammer a platform. Freezing all accounts when the market was tanking is a crime.
