Robinhood Markets Inc. was sued by the parents of a 20-year-old trader who killed himself last year after he incorrectly believed he had lost $730,000 on an options trade.
The parents of Alex Kearns filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday in state court in Santa Clara County, California, claiming the no-fee brokerage preys on inexperienced and unsophisticated investors like their son. They seek unspecified damages.
