STEVENSON, Md., Dec. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of The Crypto Company (Other OTC:CRCW) (“Crypto” or the “Company”) securities during the period between August 21, 2017 through December 18, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until February 20, 2018 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Crypto securities during the Class Period. Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that Crypto unlawfully engaged in a scheme to promote and manipulate the company’s stock.
According to the complaint, on December 19, 2017, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission suspended the Company’s trading due to concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace about compensation paid for promotion of the Company and statements in filings about plans of company insiders to sell their shares until January 3, 2018.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Crypto securities purchased on or after August 21, 2017 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
