Robinhood Data Breach
When online buyers saw an opportunity to invest in specific gaming stocks, they relied on online trading platforms like Robinhood Financial to make purchases. However, in response to the rapid increase in consumer demand in January 2021, Robinhood unexpectedly prohibited buyers from purchasing specific stocks, including GameStop and Nokia – the company did not pause the selling of these same stocks. Our mass torts team is preparing Robinhood lawsuits to help consumers seek monetary recovery if they were prevented from trading through their Robinhood accounts as stocks like GameStop peaked.
If you received misleading information or were prohibited from using the online trading platform, Robinhood could owe you compensation. Our attorneys at Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo Law Firm can help you file a lawsuit after a complimentary case review.
Claims Against Robinhood Financial
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officials recently charged Robinhood with misleading customers regarding its revenue sources. The company was also charged with failing to satisfy its “duty of best execution.” Consumers who are seeking damages from Robinhood Financial allege the following:
If the company removed specific stocks from its portfolio in order to manipulate the market.
The company committed a breach of contract by failing to disclose its intent to remove profitable stocks arbitrarily.
The company negligently breached its fiduciary responsibility to act in good faith toward its clients.
Our team is in the process of identifying plaintiffs and preparing them for a mass tort case. If you were not afforded the opportunity to invest in GameStop as the stock’s value was increasing due to Robinhood’s restrictive actions, you may be eligible to join the mass tort lawsuit. These actions may have falsely depressed stock prices, meaning you could recover compensation from Robinhood.
Recovering Compensation Can be Complicated
United States Senate officials are also examining Robinhood’s role in arbitrarily restricting trading abilities and imposing other limitations on its clients. If you lost income or potential income because of the actions Robinhood took to stop consumers from making stock purchases, you might be able to recover the cost of trades you were going to make.
You and other injured parties may also be eligible for additional recoverable damages. However, you will need to provide supportive documents, including financial records, proof of your recent trading history with Robinhood, and other relevant documentation that supports your case.
Our team works hard to understand and identify all the damages our clients are due. Only then can we fight to achieve the best possible outcome for members of the mass tort case.

Find Out If You Can Seek Compensation from Robinhood Financial
According to SEC officials, Robinhood may have misled consumers and made errors of omission in customer communications as far back as 2015.
If you were a Robinhood consumer during that time, you may be eligible for compensation. Consumers who used the online trading platform can seek recovery for the company’s actions that led to financial losses.
Because Robinhood’s decision to restrict trading affected many people, plaintiffs are building a mass tort case, as allowed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure guidelines. A mass tort case is one in which a large number of plaintiffs seek compensation from the same defendant. When our team reviews your case, we explain how each plaintiff will be fairly represented and how any compensation recovered will be fairly divided.
