If so, it requires someone to take action against them. Since the CEO of the Nasdaq suggested a trading halt to let hedge funds "recalibrate"[0] it's going to take State AGs or similar to take action.

The CEO of Nasdaq is owned by those hedge funds. Just like Janet Yellen is owned by them[1]. Halting trading would cause the price to plummet, and the Hedge funds would save billions. THIS is why they're calling for a trading halt.
