You don't seem to have read the article: "“The statute that we administer says that we protect money with a brokerage firm that is used for the purchase of securities,” he added. “On Robinhood’s help page, it says that you don’t need to invest to use Robinhood checking and savings, that statement is wrong. If you deposit money for any other purpose, it is not protected.” If they disagree it's a brokerage account, and it's certainly not being sold as such, then it seems to me there's alot he can do.
