I had $1.2M in Bitcoin. Tried to transfer some money back to my bank account. They closed my account. Liquidated my bitcoin and refused to return my money. I googled: Robinhood + complaints and found hundreds of similar complaints. They just paid a $45M fine. But they are a huge company on the stock exchange and seemed legit. They robbed me! They have no live people answering phones. They blocked me from their support chat. They refuse to return my money. It was my life savings and I want it back. I am going to find them and do something very bad to them. I have no other choice.

Claimed loss: $1,300,000.00

Desired outcome: Money refunded immediately and sanctions, fines, and prison time for CEO Vlad Teves and all executive staff. There are thousands of complaints against Robinhood online. They are crooked scumbags who need to be stopped.

Ethan Budnik: As a fellow victim of Robinhood I strongly suggest you take the matter into your own hands, arm yourself, go into their corporate headquarters in Florida and demand all of your money back immediately. If they refuse or try to stall you, do what needs to be done. Otherwise you will never see your money again. They scam all of their customers and steal billions every year. They just paid a $43M SEC fine like it was nothing. Law enforcement won’t help you. There’s only one way. While I do not condone violence or breaking the law sometimes criminals like Robinhood leave us with no other options. Man up and show them they tried to scam the wrong man!

I have been dealing with Robinhood for years now and never once withdrew any of my funds until last month (September) when I needed the funds for an urgent matter and sold off some shares to get some cash. I requested a transfer of $15k into my account and they wouldn’t process it with the immediate transfer option, I reached out to see what the problem was and they advise me to go ahead and try the standard transfer option which could take 3 to 5 days. Even though I did not have 3 to 5 days to wait, I went ahead and selected that option. The next day they flagged my account for review for 12 days. At that point they terminated my account. Blocked me from chats and communication, liquidated all of my investments at a VERY low point and claimed to be sending me all of my cash in my account. Well it’s been nearly 20 days now since they said that, I’ve received confirmation of a transfer 3 separate times now and each time within 12 hours I receive another email saying they “reversed my order” and claim it’s due to my bank not accepting the transfer. Yet my bank has never received ANYTHING from them regarding said transfer. I am furious and want to know if anyone knows how or who to contact to actually speak to an oxygen breathing warm blooded human who can give me answers.
