Fact Check
The statement is strongly corroborated by evidence from 'The Block' (Source 2 and 8), which explicitly reports that 'Ark Invest purchased $14.2 million worth of Robinhood'. The minor discrepancy between the $14.14 million in the statement and the $14.2 million in the evidence is likely due to rounding or slight variations in reporting and does not invalidate the core claim. Other provided sources confirm Ark Invest's frequent trading (both buying and selling) of Robinhood stock, providing context for this specific transaction.
