Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc LL shares are down more than 15 percent in the past hour after the company revealed it will be featured in a negative 60 Minutes story this weekend. Bloomberg also reported that on its conference call, the company said the Department of Justice is contemplating criminal charges, and is unable to predict the effect of the potential probe.
So, what are investors saying? Twitter may provide an answer.
Many are talking about the potential government involvement:
