Alex Kearns, a 20?year?old University of Nebraska–Lincoln sophomore,held a small weekly options position on Robinhood and saw a negative $730,000 “paper liability” on the app—Robinhood’s display of his unrealized losses and margin requirements—so he believed he owed that money. Although the app showed his positions at a big loss, the numbers were mismatched (unrealized vs. realized P/L, and Robinhood’s internal collateral calls). He wasn’t actually in a tax‐due position that month. Convinced he faced that six?figure debt, Alex took his own life on June 16, 2020. His parents sued Robinhood in a wrongful‐death lawsuit, arguing the app’s interface misled him. That case settled confidentially in late 2021. The lawsuit led to FINRA fining Robinhood $70 million in 2021 for systemic failures, including misleading customers and inadequate due diligence for options trading.
我倾向于认为你说的是 2020 Alex Kearns Case

也可能跟另一个案子混淆一起了,那个是赚了不到五万,要交80万税的年轻人。
