For those unaware, Robinhood and Citadel Securities are facing a lawsuit from investors over their alleged actions earlier this year. When the meme stock market was in full swing, a pause was put on trading certain high volatility stocks. Among those were GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), two of retail traders’ favorites.

With news of the lawsuit spreading and more details being revealed, retail traders are raking the two over the coals online. That includes sharing excerpts from the lawsuit, as well as memes criticizing Robinhood and Citadel Securities.

Let’s take a look at what some retail traders on Twitter are saying under the #CitadelScandal hashtag.
