> Melvin reportedly got out of its GameStop short positions on Tuesday<p>Only the incredibly naïve actually believe this, and shame on Ars Technica for not annotating it with a big asterisk. Their short position is (present tense) worth <i>billions</i> and the ~$1mil they'd be fined for lying by the SEC is far outweighed by the potential gains of a crash back down. This is what happens when white collar criminals don't go to jail, kids.<p>But this seems like a shill article in general, as there's nothing mentioned about the fact that Citadel makes up more more than 35% of Robinhood's revenues[1]. Yeah, I'm sure it was "liquidity requirements."<p>[1] <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4a439398-88ab-442a-9927-e743a3ff609b" rel="nofollow">https://www.ft.com/content/4a439398-88ab-442a-9927-e743a3ff6...</a>
