Levi & Korsinsky, LLP, National Class Action Law Firm, Announces Class Action Investigation Against Robinhood and other Brokers on Behalf of Investors of AXDX and other stocks Who Were Prevented from Trading

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - January 28, 2021) - Levi & Korsinsky, LLP, a national securities law firm that has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors, announces that it has commenced an investigation of Robinhood and other popular retail trading platforms on behalf of investors who invested or were prevented from investing in AXDX and other stocks pursuant to trading bans on these stocks.

On January 28, 2021, customers of Robinhood and other popular trading platforms claimed that they were being blocked from purchasing shares of Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXDX) and other securities that are being heavily shorted by institutional investors.

Recently, retail investors have turned the tables on Wall Street by buying up stocks heavily shorted by hedge funds such as Melvin Capital, causing increased volatility and short-squeeze losses to these institutional investors. However, on January 28th, Robinhood announced that retail investors could no longer purchase certain stocks and raised margin requirements for certain securities.

The inability to trade shares has sparked outrage across social media, as users took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, stating:

"You can no longer buy GameStop stock on Robinhood. Ditto Nokia, AMC, and all the other stocks that had been shorted."

Another said: "The free market is only free until rich people lose money."

In response to these actions, Dave Portnoy, the founder of the sports and pop culture blog Barstool Sports, released a series of tweets questioning Robinhood's integrity and agenda. He called for retail investors not to close their positions.
