(“Future FinTech” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FTFT) securities between March 10, 2020 through January 11, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Future FinTech investors have until March 18, 2024 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Future FinTech investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On January 11, 2024, after market hours, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced that it had charged Future FinTech’s CEO, Shanchun Huang with “manipulative trading” and “buying hundreds of thousands of Future FinTech shares to artificially increase the company’s stock price shortly before and after he became CEO.”
On this news, Future FinTech’s stock price fell $0.27, or 20.9%, to close at $1.02 per share on January 12, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendant Shanchun Huang manipulated the price of Future FinTech stock; (2) Defendant Huang and Future FinTech lied to the Securities and Exchange Commission about the nature of Defendant Huang’s ownership of Future FinTech stock; (3) Future FinTech understated its legal risk; (4) Future FinTech did not disclose the unlawful measures Defendant Huang took to prop up the price of its stock; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased Future FinTech securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G.
