Apparently leap day is the cause: https://mobile.twitter.com/jtech63/status/123460004578739404... Also rumor has it they “lost user data and the backups are not working as expected” Edit: This is the tweet. Not sure if it is legit: https://mobile.twitter.com/classrobinhood/status/12345774264...

This looks like a terrible source. I would wait until they issue a statement.

If this is true and nothing happens to this company, everyone should feel free to use bugs to cover up any and all IT negligence.
Aaaand, there's already a twitter account trying to build a class action lawsuit against Robinhood for allowing an outage to happen. Wonder if this'll go anywhere! https://twitter.com/ClassRobinhood

There’s nothing unintentional about the hilarity. That community is totally self-aware and rife with in-jokes and satire. The folks that post there see their gambling for what it is.
I think there's a mix of in-on-the-joke and not. I've read some sad stories about, for example, a student betting student loan money in the market and losing it instantly, lured to make risky bets from the other stories of dumb luck success. Here's someone I don't think is in on the joke: https://i.redd.it/at7gloeb5ck41.jpg ... oops
Posts like that are par for the course. Its called “Loss Porn”. The subreddit is absolutely geared towards stock/options trading as gambling and if you think otherwise then you’re wrong. They are very self-aware and do it for fun. And yes some may lose a lot of money but they know exactly what they are getting themselves involved in.

Reading Reddit's WallStreetBets has been unintentionally hilarious. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ Folks were leveraging up all last week and buying puts, thinking the market was tanking to zero and we're all going to die of "beer virus" as they call it -- and are getting a harsh lesson about timing the market today. They’ve been giving so much leverage to broke young people, I wouldn’t even be surprised to…
It's probably one of the most suspenseful market opens in history. The tug of war between bulls and bears across the entire sub has been incredibly entertaining. Regarding leverage: buying options is a fixed loss against the cash in your account. RH also only allows selling secured options. There's no way to lose more than you started with (at least with the current app, they had problems before). Retail investors us…
What are the odds that this was a cyberterrorism attack? If you can predict this kind of market event (the bounce back), and you want to hurt a company and its users, you would simply DDoS at the right time.
As of 3:44PM EST. It’s still not back. I then signed out of the app and can’t sign back in. I then thought maybe they reset passwords, so I tried resetting. Even that’s not working. Total outage!
