- Riot never intended to hold its Annual General Meetings scheduled for December 28, 2017 and February 1, 2018; and
- as a result, Defendants’ statements about Riot’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
Shares of Riot Blockchain, Inc. presently trade close to 80% below the class period high of $46.20 reached on December 19, 2017.
