NEW YORK, April 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ForceField Energy Inc. ("ForceField") (Nasdaq: FNRG ), a seller and distributor of energy products and solutions, today requested that a regulatory agency review the trading activity in its common stock subsequent to the issuance of a lengthy "opinion" published by MoxReports on April 15, 2015; in addition to any relationships, arrangements and commonalities between short sellers and others. The opinion was written by an individual investor, not a registered financial advisor, who has disclosed owning a short position in the Company's common stock. The Company maintains that the article contains material inaccuracies about its management, business and prospects.
Richard St. Julien, ForceField's Chairman stated, "We are not going to stand by and allow our Company, officers and directors, employees and shareholders to continue to suffer through what appears to be an orchestrated short selling attack based on misinformation. We intend to defend ourselves and pursue all possible remedies against the allegations asserted in the opinion. Further, we will provide our shareholders and investment community a business update in a release pre-market on Monday, April 20, 2015."
