Beyond has seen its fortunes falter in recent years after its moves to revamp its shelves with more of its own private-label products flopped. <\/p>\n<p>The chain is now ditching that strategy to focus more on national brands, and last week said it would close 150 stores, and cut jobs in an attempt to turn around its money-losing business. <\/p>\n<p>The company, as well as Arnal, were also sued on Aug. 23 over accusations of artificially inflating the firm\u2019s stock price in a \u201cpump and dump\u201d scheme, with the lawsuit alleging Arnal sold off his shares at a higher price after the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The retailer said it was \u201cin the early stages of evaluating the complaint, but based on current knowledge the company believes the claims are without merit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GameStop Corp Chairman Ryan Cohen, who was Bed Bath &#038;
