The chief financial officer at Bed Bath & Beyond jumped to his death from his luxury apartment in Tribeca — days after the troubled retail chain announced it would shutter 150 stores, police said Sunday.
The stock, which had slumped below $5 in June, reached a peak of more than $29 on Aug. 17 before the price sharply plummeted.
Cohen, whom the lawsuit dubbed a “meme-stock champion” and his company, RC Ventures, bought a 9.8% stake in the company in March, gaining three seats on its board, then sold it for a tidy profit starting Aug. 17, leaving investors who followed the internet buzz holding the bag.
