In College as a business major. He starts trading stocks with his 2k and gets it up to 10k. He then files the form to do options and they made a mistake. He gets a notice on his smartphone saying he owes 740,000 on an option which he knows he didn't put him self at risk for and keeps trying to get customer service but just keeps getting automated responses.
So it is due 140k in a week to start off and he keeps trying to reach customer service with no responses but the automated one. Bright kid with a bright future and doesn't know what to do so feels ending his life will save his family from financial ruin. So he leaves on his laptop a screenshot explaining why and offs himself. Couple of days later this late person gets a response from Robin Hood customer service saying, it was a mistake, you don't owe anything. And family is suing them.
What a waste.

Robinhood is the ultimate scam app. They want robinhood to fix itself, but really it should be boycotted. Also that kid was an idiot

True. Probably pride that killed him. Should of gone to his parents and told them and they most likely would of got legal advice instead of the kind they are getting now. Watched a longer part of his story and he was so close to his mom and with covid being at home they would talk for hours. But he couldn't tell her this and ask what to do? Or have a bit of patience?
I get the stock market, options I get a little bit of but still, kill yourself over it? Money and finances. What people do for it and lack of it and fear of it never ceases to amaze me. It is gambling in a way. I like Vegas and learned why they don't have balconies and windows that only open a bit.
There is nothing in this world I would commit suicide over. I die when I die. Call a prevention hotline, what a joke. Which they are forced legally to show when showing anything about someone offs themselves. I just wonder what happens when someone makes a choice like he did. The great mystery of our mortal existence.

If I ever got completely financially fucked by anyone, I'd be taking somebody with me when I went.

Still wonder about the afterlife/dead. I was suicidal for the awhile in an different context. I then got an epiphany that that the grass isn't greener on the other side if you kill yourself. And Yes previous poster he was an idiot. But young and dumb. Fuck, whatever.
Last night was great. Life is good. Had a great one and crashed by a ally and took a bus home. But made it. Lol. Sleeping on concrete passed out. I can take care of myself one just have to find the right spot. Is like an internal attena of there is no way I am making it home tonight. I just look at it as I have my heater going and warming up, Utah is a high elevation and it does get cold.
But bus right me and in minutes there and I am home. You can do you your best to fuck up your life but if you take it by your own hands. Especially about money, fuck him and fuck that. If she was such a good mother why? No judgement just stupid.
Suicide is just idocy ecspecially over man made money. Not doing a spell check.
I am on a 6 year winning streak of not getting arrested. Suicide is never the answer. Was weird how esoterically I learned that. And I didn't even ask for that wisdom.

I would kind of love to feel like it was all over. Perfect opportunity to walk into the woods and not be seen again. What I would do long before suicide. Of course I'd bring my shroom stash with me.

The so-called "love" of money claims yet another life...
Too bad he didn't have any cannabis/psychedelics to temporarily relieve him of his enslavement long enough for him to find a less deadly solution to the problem.
