On zero-fee trading platforms you are not the customer. You are the product. https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/1354793937538433035
Who pays Robinhood, Schwab and TD when you make a trade? Citadel.

They clear 40% of all trades for retail investors across the US.
So let me get this straight...

The company with the most to lose from continued trading of $GME on Robinhood (Citadel) is the company that executes such trades on behalf of Robinhood

So upon losing, Citadel calls up Robinhood and puts a stop to it

And that is legal? https://twitter.com/robinhoodapp/status/1354805613566410756
What are the three zero-fee platforms that have Citadel execute their trades (the firm with the most to lose from $GME trading)?

Robinhood, Schwab and TD Ameritrade

What platforms halted $GME trading today?

Robinhood, Schwab and TD Ameritrade
Why was $GME buying halted today and not yesterday or tomorrow?

Because GME options expire tomorrow, and if the price tomorrow isn’t under $150 then Citadel will go up in flames.

Citadel shut down the power to its metaphorical casino because it couldn’t stop hemorrhaging money.
