This is sad. If the report is correct, Robinhood might be negligent here. I don't know if there's security law required, but Schwab has 4 levels of option tradings [0], and you'd need to apply and get approved. I've investing/trading for more than 10 years now, but they've only given level 0, and rejected my level 1 application. It seems this guy's trade is at level 2.
