On November 14, 2018, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a criminal indictment, and on November 15, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a civil action, against First Choice’s then-Chief Executive Officer, President, and Board Chairman Christian Romandetti, Sr. and certain alleged co-conspirators, charging them with securities fraud in connection with the orchestration of a multi-million dollar pump-and-dump scheme. The DOJ indictment and SEC complaint allege that Romandetti and his co-conspirators, through various manipulative practices, defrauded investors in First Choice securities “by artificially controlling the price and volume of traded shares in [First Choice] through, inter alia: (a) artificially generating price movements and trading volume in the shares; and (b) material misrepresentations and omissions in their communications with victim investors about the stock of [First Choice] . . . .”
Following news of the foregoing enforcement actions, First Choice’s stock price fell $0.66 per share, or 65.35%, to close at $0.35 per share on November 15, 2018.
