NEW YORK, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott,
Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, has commenced an
investigation into DryShips, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS) ("DryShips" or the "Company") related to potential violations of federal
securities laws. If you are a DryShips shareholder, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for additional
information.
DryShips is an offshore drilling business and operates dry-bulk carriers, transporting commodities such as iron ore, coal, and
grain.
Between November 9 and November 16, 2016, DryShips' stock price rose from $163 to $2,336 per share. It was reported in the Wall Street Journal
that "A day after shares peaked," DryShips "embarked on a series of stock sales totaling more than $500
million." The Wall Street Journal further reported that DryShips sold the stock to Kalani Investments, which
in turn sold the stock to "small investors." It was further reported that this "sequence of events" could "yield"
George Economou, DryShips' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "tens of millions in
profits."
