online stock brokerage for retail investors which claims it's out to democratize finance with its commission free trading therefore they claim to be the stock brokerage for the little guy robin hood was one of the most downloaded apps online since a lot of people are bored at home because of covid with some disposable income many have turned to stock trading using robinhood combined with free stock trading reddit and other social media groups and threads have emerged organizing people into which stocks to buy and sell when the little retail investors who were very much using the popular robin hood app organize themselves to buy the company's most beaten down by wall street hedge funds such as gamestop seriously give me the poster i don't know mikey word on the street is you're a rat yeah we don't do business with rats no we don't they caused the stock price to rise about 16 000 causing wall street hedge funds to incur losses estimated to be 70 billion dollars when all this started to happen robin hood manually stepped in to prevent their retail investors from buying the most controversial stocks such as gamestop which appears to have been done to prevent wall street hedge funds from going under you may be wondering how does robinhood make any money if they don't make it off of the individual trades yeah they sell your data that they accumulate to wall street hedge funds so you are not robin hood's customers hedge funds are citadel one of the largest market makers and high speed trading firms in the country its founder and ceo kenneth griffin made 900 million dollars last year they say they execute 14 of all stocks traded in the united states who were massively exposed to the game stop short now meet vlad tennov he's the co-founder and ceo of robin hood and when all of this was going down he was interviewed to explain what he claims was actually going on but was he lying we're gonna break down his body language to finally reveal the truth now let's get started vlad attentive is with us right now and we appreciate you joining us on a day now this is one of vlad's more earlier interviews of when all this started to happen we're going to focus more on this interview because we'll get more of a raw understanding of how he really feels well there are so many questions and as melissa just said there the first thing that we notice is the very solid congruent head nod along with his tongue licking his lips and soothing self-comfort and then his lips being sucked in and what appears also to be some self-comfort or given the circumstances he's sucking in his lips feeling like he's locking his lips shut subconsciously refraining himself from saying too much whether he's sucking in his lips because of anxiety and fear or because he wants to lock his lip shut and he doesn't want to say certain things during this interview we're going to find out soon or frankly as you know a lot of angry customers out there and a lot of questions about what took place and the decisions that you made to limit uh so many of your customers ability to buy stocks like gamestop as you're probably noticing we see vlad do some interesting facial expressions we see a lot of wincing and uncomfortable smirks when he's being told about all this clearly so far we noticed that he's feeling very uncomfortable when reading body language it's always important to understand the subject's mindset before they're asked the pertinent questions now in this part here see if you notice anything interesting and vlad's a body language as soon as the interviewer mentions a liquidity problem take a look see what you think then we'll break it down questions about whether you have a liquidity problem whether you're trying to protect them from themselves did you notice what vlad did yeah liquidity problem whether you're trying to protect them big nervous gulp right after the interviewer asked him now we don't know for sure if it's a liquidity problem or not but that in itself just raised our antennas as the interview progresses we gather more and more evidence figuring out what exactly is happening and what he's actually feeling whether citadel did this explain what happened today thank you for having me on the show again uh andrew um so what happened today was as you pointed out we had to make a very difficult decision it's been uh now we notice a little piece of odd nervous laughter we know it's nervous laughter because it's completely out of place we're kind of in a little difficult position right now it's been a challenging day when he did that incongruent shoulder shrug and head tilts it shows some uncertainty in what he's saying when we're very certain about something we're going to be very very in line and very congruent immediately even before he even says any word we know that what is going on in his mind and what he is going to say is not going to be something that he 100 believes it's going to be either sugar-coated or a complete lie we don't know yet but we know that he is going to be a little bit deceptive here the decision uh in the morning to limit the buying of about 13 securities on our platform here's what's really interesting that really pisses a lot of people off his discount brokerage decided to limit the buying of those 13 securities but the rest of wall street that surely doesn't use robin hood all those hedge funds that are in big trouble can still trade on those stocks to get out of trouble but all the people that want to buy in can't buy in so to be clear uh customers could still sell uh those securities if they had positions in them because if he were to let the robin hood traders continue to trade and continue to buy gamestop as well as all the other stocks that he's restricted this stock surely would have went to thousands and thousands of dollars that day and if that were to happen the hedge funds who had that short position would have been royally screwed customers could still sell their securities how did you allow people to keep selling but not buying the reason that is so troubling to people is that they were making money buying the stock customers a big thing that a lot of people don't understand when reading someone's deception is that they won't always lie they could divert look over here so they don't have to lie because lying is very dangerous and it's a lot of work to remember what you said before make sure you don't get caught in the lie it's a big mess if you can just divert it's a lot more effective than boldface lying and they could also trade in the thousands of other securities on our platform why is everyone focused on just these 13 securities you could have traded all the other thousands of securities that are on our platform i don't know why everyone's so worked up over these 13 yeah obviously massive diverting because he doesn't want to talk about those 13 stocks now listen closely to what he says here and notice his body language and then we'll rewind it and break it down so it was a difficult decision um and uh and and that's what we had to do as part of normal operations normal operations he said operations he's basically telling you that this all was not out of the norm you know we shut those down because it was just the course of a normal day and we just happened to shut down these securities that are taking these wall street hedge funds we notice a little bit of a subconscious incongruent head shake right when he says it was all part of normal operations and then right after that with the tension of lying also we noticed his lips coming together being tightly pursed right after being deceptive and we even noticed a slight little smirk that's forming on his face which seemed to have been duping delight which is probably another reason why he pursed his lips really tightly at the end of that so that he can also hide his duping delight but explain then why did you do this did the sec call you and tell you you had to do this we have no choice we have to comply with all financial uh requirements the sec hasn't said you had to do this now this part notices body language when the interviewer asks him if it's a liquidity problem see what you think was there a problem inside the company in terms of liquidity in terms of the amount of deposits that you had uh to to put in in front to the exchanges what led to this yeah he goes from nervousness into almost what seems to be a blank stare like he's about to faint his whole body looked like he was about to give out yeah and it looks like he's about to throw up too sure and let me let me explain exactly how this works um oh first of all i want to address some of the misinformation that's been out there because there's a lot of it so now even more diverting from the liquidity issue um we absolutely did not do this at the direction of any market maker or hedge fund it's very interesting that he would talk about this proactively it's almost like he wants to be able to frame this topic himself so he doesn't have to specifically lie to the direct question that the interviewer may give him because the way that he posed the question to answer was did a hedge fund specifically tell you to do this but here's the question did he and his whole company think oh my gosh we can't destroy our customers our customers are the hedge funds we can't go down we gotta stop this that is not what he answered a market maker doesn't have to tell him to do this it would just make business sense on its own for him to do this that is not what he answered and it seems that he wanted to be able to frame that question exactly the way that he wanted to answer it so that he can come across as as truthful as possible some of these requirements uh fluctuate quite a bit based on volatility in the markets so now we hear him talking about some liquidity issues however watch him bogusly deny this very soon it sounds to me though that you're suggesting that there was a liquidity problem no no there was no liquidity problem well if you don't have a liquidity issue but you say you're stopping the trading because you couldn't meet certain capital requirements how does that reconcile with itself well we feel pretty good about the situation liquidity was clearly a big issue because the next day look what happened robin hood has drawn down some of its credit lines with banks they have tapped at least several hundred millions of dollars proving vlad was lying here to you we did this proactively and thousands of other securities remain tradable on the platform customers that held these positions um were able to sell them even more diverting from the main issue oh everyone could sell their securities they just couldn't buy them what's the big deal that's the whole point that people couldn't buy into something that was going up and continue to make it go up and continue to make the hedge funds lose a whole bunch of money and of course he knows this but he's trying to frame it as not that big of a deal there's only 13 securities come on give us a break here what's the big deal um but also uh you might have seen robin hood has been the number one app in the in the app store overall even more bogus diverting we're the number one app in the app store what does that have to do with anything of shutting down the buying of 13 securities so we have seen unprecedented uh interest due to the fact that finance has been culturally relevant in a way that hasn't been before and these stocks are going viral on social media bogus this is where the interviewer should know that he's trying to divert everybody why are you talking about your app being number one on the app store and these stocks going viral what does that have to do with anything and of course cnbc always on the side of big wall street isn't gonna do that here now see if you think vlad is truthful here notice his body language and then we'll rewind it and break it down of course robin hood stands for for everyday investors a lot of incongruency is given the incongruent headshake and some of other things including the stutter so at this pivotal moment where he should believe more than anything this company mission that we're for the everyday guy more than anyone else it should be right and he says of course we're you know for everyday investors and of course it's obvious that they're not their whole game is making it seem that way that they are for everyday investors even though the everyday investors aren't actually their clients instead the hedge funds and big wall street firms are their clients by enabling them to sell but not buy it sounds like you were allowing the hedge funds and again one of them owns a pcu to have citadel securities your largest customer investing 2.75 billion to bail out one of the biggest losers in the gamestop short it looks terrible clearly he was quite deceptive on many points throughout that interview whether a hedge fund specifically told them to stop the buying on those specific stocks such as gamestop it doesn't really matter if anyone told them or not it's obvious why they would because the hedge funds are their biggest customers so naturally they're gonna protect their biggest customers and clients so it's obvious why they did it if robin hood didn't step in limiting their users and buying companies like gamestop the stock prices would have went to the moon causing some hedge funds that held those short positions to likely go under here's how that would have happened as stock prices increase hedge funds would be forced to cover their short positions in what's called a short squeeze subjecting them to a margin call a margin call happens when the value of an investor's margin account falls below the broker's required amount in layman's terms the hedge fund doesn't have enough cash to cover their short position so they're actually forced to exit the transaction at a massive loss however here's when this gets even more funny they were over two times more shorts than the amount of stock that existed so there wasn't enough stock to cover the shorts so if you hold a short position and there's no way to cover that short with a buy because there's just not enough stock out there yeah hedge funds would not only go to zero but would also owe billions of dollars and if a lot of hedge funds went out of business and those are clearly robin hood's clients what do you think would happen to robin hood right they needed to protect their hedge fund clients at the expense of you guys so it appears they help their hedge fund clients by drastically slowing things down for them so they can exit their failing positions easier at lower prices bloomberg professional trading terminals which basically cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to access they give wall street traders and hedge fund traders access to what's called ib chat which is unregulated by the sec and gives traders the ability to collude with each other on trades so how is what happened on reddit and other social media any different all this clearly proves is that there's one set of rules for wall street and another set of rules for you so you can't play their game give this video a thumbs up if you think what robinhood did was illegal give this video a thumbs down if you think what robin hood did wasn't illegal at all now in the comments what do you think should happen to robin hood let everyone know in the comments below if you're not already
