In January this year, highly shorted stocks of GameStop, along with American Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), and Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK), and others surged and saw surging activity on WallStreetBets. Clover could similarly see a big short squeeze, according to some.
In February, Clover was the target of short seller Hindenburg Research — the same firm that targeted Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ:NKLA) last year leading to the ouster of its CEO.
Hindenburg alleged in a report that Clover misled investors and is under investigation by the Department of Justice.
On Friday, the former director of the Center for Medicare and the principal deputy administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services during the Trump era — Demetrios Kouzoukas — joined Clover’s board of directions, Business Insider reported.
In October, Sequoia Capital and Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google ventures-backed Clover went public through a merger with Palihapitiya’s Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp III in October with an enterprise valuation of $3.7 billion.
