Recently, the company also faces a collective lawsuit, and Anal is one of the defendants.

A group of shareholders claiming to lose 1.2 billion US dollars, and sued Bed Bath & Beyond, Anal and major shareholder Ryan Cohen to court, accusing them of raising the company's stock price by "pushing up and selling" to make a lot of money.

The company responded that they were in the early stages of evaluation complaints, but according to the current understanding, these claims were not supported by legal basis.
