MULN Stock Naked Short Sellers
Mullen Automotive has enlisted the aid of Christian Attar and Warshaw, Burstein LLP to take on naked short sellers. The company believes it had been targeted in a scheme to manipulate its stock price, based in part on data it received from Shareholder Intelligence Services.
The idea of Mullen Automotive tackling potential naked short sellers head-on has investors excited. However, it’s worth noting that the company’s low share price could mean the stock is seeing a bit too much hype from this news. That’s just something investors will want to keep in mind before taking a stake in MULN stock.
