Investors who sued Robinhood<\/strong> for stopping the trade of several popular stocks in 2021, including GameStop<\/strong>, are seeking to complete a deal with them.<\/p>\n

In a May 28 filing to a Miami federal court, Robinhood’s<\/strong> attorneys claimed that it is “in the process of finalizing the settlement”<\/em> with the group of investors and expects settlement and dismissal in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

Settlement and Market Manipulation Claims<\/h1>\n

The settlement’s specifics were omitted from the file. Robinhood<\/strong>, its lawyers, and the investor group did not immediately respond to requests for comments.<\/p>\n

By “picking and choosing”<\/em> what stocks its customers may buy between Jan. 28, 2021, the investors\u2014including main plaintiff Blue Laine-Beveridge\u2014alluded to Robinhood as having “unlawfully manipulated market prices”<\/em> and “wiped out tens of billions of investors’ equity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Affected by Robinhood’s<\/strong> activity, the investors claimed they owned shares in GameStop, AMC, Bed Bath & Beyond, BlackBerry, Nokia, Trivago, Koss, Express Inc., and Tootsie Roll.<\/p>\n

Part of a larger case in many U.S. courts over Robinhood’s stock-related activities, the investor litigation concentrated on claimed securities law breaches by the business.<\/p>\n

The settlement centers on United States District Judge Cecilia Altonaga rejecting an investor bid on April 19 to submit a fresh request for class certification. In November last year, Judge Altonaga similarly turned down a like-minded motion.<\/p>\n

Some refer to equities like GameStop and AMC as meme stocks because so many retail investors trade them based on social media excitement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Following a “short squeeze”<\/em> by the company, GameStop stocks shot skyward in January 2021, severely hurting hedge funds and other short sellers, while some retail traders made large gains.<\/p>\n

Many blamed this movement on Keith Gill, sometimes known as “Roaring Kitty,”<\/em> who had returned to X in May.<\/p>\n

Google Finance reports that the return to X following an almost three-year break to publish a series of cryptic memes thrilled traders and saw GME close May 14 at $48.75\u2014its highest since late 2021.<\/p>\n

The stock experienced a nearly 50% decrease, peaking at $21.24 on May 29 and experiencing an additional 2% drop in trading after hours to $20.78.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
