A federal lawsuit is Whole Foods's newest gut-punch, ever since New York City officials accused the chain of "routinely" overcharging customers . The suit, filed in Austin last Thursday, seeks class-action status for all shareholders who bought Whole Foods stock between August 9 of 2013 and July of this year, and argues that company executives also violated SEC laws with this whole overcharging fiasco, since the act misrepresented the company's value on Wall Street.
