The funny thing is that they’re not making him testify because he “stuck it to the hedge funds.” They’re making him testify because politicians understand so LITTLE about modern internet trading that they heard about this on the news and want to show they’re “doing something”
The Politicians who practice insider trading every day are allowed to judge people who trade legally and just happen to win once in a while... What a Joke...
And all the stock value is based on their manipulations and guesses, nit how the company is doing and which to invest into so they can thrive.

If an app like that wasnt corrupt they wouldnt have limited the amount of gamestop stocks you could buy as more traffic would also result in more income for them.
This is one of very few things liberals and conservatives agree on. Those hedge funds will short a stock, then go talk trash about the co in the media to move the stock, then cash out...

This gentleman is insanely bright, someone in the industry should hire him. One wishes his interviewers were of comparable magnitude.
The problem with this is the are targeting the small fish rather than the big ones who do whst they want with the market
because they live in the big fish pocket
Big fishes laweyrs are expensive.
Strange when the "little man" has to justify himself when he beats the "BIG MAN" at his own game.
I love that he's not even using a discreet microphone as well, it's just a hyperX Quadcast, the same one I have on my desk in front of me.
Yep. Shows that the little man will be beaten down by the system, whenever he dares to lift his head.
The system is only made to keep the little people down.
@@klausrasmussen2307 shows that the system has holes that are exploitable. While you may see them “beating him down”, I see them taking fat Ls trying to take him down. The rich have no legal leg to stand on in this matter, they’re just doing the song and dance to win in the Court of Public Opinion, because they can’t win in the Court of Law. This guy will answer questions, keep his millions and move on. Who should be worried are the apps that disabled stocked purchasing for the common in a free market economy. Those guys are legally boned. Generally though you’re right. The system is made to keep the little man down, this just is not an example of that.
its not about that tho, i'm pretty sure the issue is people on reddit colluded to inflate gamestop stock and pressure shareholders which is completely illegal. its not about little man or big man, its about one group colluding to illegally tamper with the stock market
@@zt7928 The big hedge fund does the same thing, no one bats an eye. Some Reddit users do the same and get blasted? Double standards.
“The money will go such a long way for us”...I felt that
Yeah old Maxine basically just reads what her handlers give her to recite...
Exactly
I'm not a cat is exactly what a cat would say
If it was a true “Free Market” this wouldn’t be going on.
Always hasn't been
dude hes not being investigated for crimes here, this is a hearing about the entire gamestop situation, they were primarily grilling robinhood ceo about why people werent able to buy shares
If it was a true free market, uncaring massive corporations be completely unregulated. Working conditions would be abysmal, and they would only pay you just enough to keep you alive so you can continue to work.
@@MrShagification Uh huh. Why don't you point to the "Free market" this has happened in...ohhh yeah no government in the history of humankind has ever allowed a free market to exist. Mainly because of scared ignorant folks like yourself using scare tactics. "Boo hoo, what will we ever do without the government and our betters to take care of us!"
Uncaring massive corporations are allowed to get away with human rights violations overseas and get away with pretty much any atrocity here at home by simply paying off the proper government officials.(BP oil Spill) If we the consumer decide to take our money elsewhere we can't! Because the government will "Bail them out" and in the first place the government enables corporate monopolies by regulating competition right out of the market. You would know this if you understood how the lobbying system works in this country.
Please read some books and get educated before you have such a passionate opinion. You have made yourself look like a child pretending to be an adult. You don't understand that a "Free market" still allows for some state and local regulations...but those regulation are voted on by the people of the state and we call them LAWS. "Regulations" decided and enforced by unelected and unaccountable federal appointees is something you feel has your best interests at heart why?
@@maybeitsyou1317 no such thing as a free market. But im not sure americans understand what freedom means
“I’m not a cat”
Exactly something a cat would say
I mean look at the gorgeous hair he’s defiantly a cat
🤣🤣
You clearly don't know cats. They are all about telling who they are.
No Cap
Seriously though 😂
A true HERO. We need more guys like this one.
He should have added a "Are we clear meow?" at the end of his statement.
America: “anyone can become successful.”
This guy: *becomes successful*
America: “no, not like that!”
@@mogunz9643 maybe u can try to do an actual research and find out the government corruption that make rich more rich and poor more poor.
@@mogunz9643 No but ur IQ is not that high so let me make it simple American government which controls America are the courrption
It isn't supposed to be easy for us plebians...
Yall are implying that the government running the United States is actually American. The middle east has run this place for years
America: “anyone can become successful.”
This guy: becomes successful
Anti-Americans “no, not like that!”
I like this guy. All parents should show their kids this video. He is truly a hardworking, smart and resilient American boy. U can tell how much he loves his family and his stock.
"as for me, I like the stock" fucking legend
Anyone else get progressively more rustled as it went on because these boomers on the committee didn't mute their mics while he gave his statement? Its especially brutal at the end where it sounded like they were fumbling around with a water bottle or something.
