Sauder Schelkopf and co-counsel filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of all Robinhood users who attempted but were unable to use the Robinhood trading platform to buy shares of certain restricted stocks on or after January 28, 2021. The complaint alleges that despite professing to prioritize access to the financial markets, on January 28, 2021, at the peak of a rise in several stocks’ prices driven by interest on the part of retail investors, Robinhood announced an unprecedented restriction on its online trading platform. Without warning, Robinhood claimed that “market volatility” necessitated restricting all its users from buying any more shares of the 13 rising stocks, notably including GameStop and AMC. Notably, Robinhood did not restrict its users from selling certain restricted stocks.
