HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, McDonald Worley, advocate of the people, filed suit alleging Breach of Contract, Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Negligence, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Violations of the Sherman Act – 15 U.S.C. § 1 and Violations of State Antitrust Laws against Robinhood Financial LLC, Robinhood Securities, LLC, Robinhood Markets, Inc., TD Ameritrade, Inc., TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc., TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, The Charles Schwab Corporation, and Webull Financial LLC.
The case was filed in The United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Case number: 4:21-cv-00292.
The Defendants, who provide trading applications for web and mobile devices, enacted restrictions on their online trading platforms after market volatility in an attempt to limit users' ability to trade shares by restricting transactions to position closing only. Additional securities facing restrictions on the platform included American Airlines Group Inc, AMC Entertainment Holdings, BlackBerry LTD, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Castor Maritime Inc, Express, Inc, Koss Corporation, Naked Brand Group LTD, Nokia, Sundial Growers Inc, Tootsie Roll, and Trivago.
McDonald Worley is greatly concerned about these events and the financial ramifications that this may cause consumers who turned to the app to help shape their financial futures. By manipulating the trading platform, Robinhood deprived consumers the ability to use its services. Due to these blocked trades, users were limited in their ability to invest in their stock creating downward fluctuations in the market that may not have otherwise been there.
To bring justice to investors that may be impacted by these events, McDonald Worley encourages consumers to contact the firm at (281) 545-3130 or visit the website at https://www.mcdonaldworley.com.
