Citadel, Point72 to Invest $2.75 Billion Into Melvin Capital Management - 3 days ago [0]

With Citadel as a large market maker I would think Robinhood likely has a financial conflict of interest with them with respect to their customers, selling Citadel "dumb flow" (and now, depending on how you look at it, lobotomizing the flow).

It's a different Citadel, from here: https://www.theverge.com/22251427/reddit-gamestop-stock-shor...

At least one Wall Street firm has taken heavy losses — Melvin Capital Management, which was shorting GameStop, among other bets. It’s been bailed out by Citadel, which, confusingly, is not the same thing as Citadel Securities. (Citadel is a hedge fund, not a market maker.)

It's the same Citadel, just different legal entities.

It's a ""different"" Citadel only in the twisted sort of logic lawyers are hated for. They're operated by the same people and have the same name.
