If you owe Robinhood 75k, you have a problem. If you owe them 750k, they have a problem.

That kid was just too dumb with money to realize that his life wasn't over, it was just going to be unpleasant for a little while.

It’s unclear how much was actually owed, there is speculation in the article that the huge negative balance only represented part of the trade clearing and that the amount lost may have been much lower.

No, it was reported by other people who did heavy leveraged option trading, and AIUI RH doesn’t like to talk about the fact that their app can misstate the value of your accounts by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Correct, it's the nature of the trades. They might take days to settle and you shouldn't be given value to trade with that hasn't gone through, so your account value looks low. Out of the shady things Robinhood does, this is not one of them.

Now, his account could have been a little or a lot better that -750k, dunno by how much. He could have just defaulted on it though.

I’m sure everyone else in the world is more woke than me and put it together instantly, but I had to look it up to realize Amy Cooper is that horrible white lady that called the cops on the dude birding in Central Park.

Apparently everyone in her building hates her and she tried to get the doorman fired and only talks to her neighbors in weird baby talk through her dog. She now goes on holiday with dweeb face’s ex wife, the one she paid $65k to destroy. Lol. There has never been a more worthy recipient of public shame.

quote:

After sitting undisturbed for more than 10 years, a treasure chest holding gold nuggets and precious gems has been found in the Rocky Mountains. The box was hidden by millionaire art dealer Forrest Fenn; his only clues included a map and a poem. But after countless quests, the search is over.
...
The search for Fenn's hidden treasure became a sensation, luring tens of thousands of people to try to decipher the clues and embark on what they hoped would be a life-altering hike in the wilderness. But for years after the first clues appeared in Fenn's self-published book, The Thrill of the Chase, no one could find the right spot.

For some, it became a dangerous obsession: In the process of looking for the trove that was said to be worth as much as $2 million, at least four people have died.
...
Three years ago, the treasure hider said he believes at least 250,000 people have looked for the stash. But noting the accidents that have occurred, he added, "The search is supposed to be fun."

Masquerade ended as a fraud. Someone even solved the puzzle but didn't see the prize when digging for it.

The man behind the fraud then sold a horrible video game treasure hunt.

The video game is really.... something. The phrase "worst game ever" is overused a lot, but this might actually be it. It was sold in two separate parts so you had to pay for it twice, and both parts were an outright scam with nothing to actually solve.

Rare Connor McDavid rookie hockey card sells for $135,811 at auction

ESPN posted:

Connor McDavid just made a retired carpenter from San Diego more than $100,000 richer.

McDavid's 2015-16 Upper Deck "The Cup" rookie patch autograph card sold for a final bid of $135,811.20 in the Lelands Spring Classic Auction on Friday. The sale price includes a 20% buyer's fee that goes to the auction house, according to The Action Network.

Only 99 of these cards were made. The seller had to put in money for even the opportunity to find one of these cards in a box.

quote:

Essentially, John won a lottery to earn the chance to own the McDavid card. This is how the case break worked: Thirty spots were randomly assigned via computer program to collectors who invested in the break. John couldn't recall the exact amount he paid but said it was "under $150." Along with the individuals, there were five "random number blocks" that had teams assigned to them; each of the "blocks" included nine investor names, each assigned a random number that corresponded with the last digit of the numbered card that was pulled for that team.

In the McDavid case break, the "random number block" was assigned the Oilers, and John was assigned No. 7 within that block. Because of these assignments, John lucked into one of the most coveted hockey cards in the industry
.

All the cards sold have gone for $50,000 or more. This card was worth more for one stupid reason: this card was No. 97, which is McDavid's jersey number with the Edmonton Oilers.

There is no way this card will hold this value, which is all a bunch of bullshit anyway.

He’s been one of the two best players on the planet for the past five years, so there’s definitely some justification for this absurd price but also... there’s not at all lmao
