$34M Illegal Stock Scam Leads to New Charges
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed charges in an alleged nearly $34M illegal stock sale involving Biozoom Inc. stock that caused serious financial losses for retail investors. Biozoom was previously called Entertainment Art Inc..
It was in 2013 that the regulator was able to get a court order freezing proceeds made from the allegedly illegal stock sales. The SEC contends that from March to June 2013, ten people received over 20 million Entertainment Art shares. A number of these individuals then sold over 14 million of these shares in a month-long period. This resulted in around $34M in sales.
