More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between April 30, 2015 and July 21, 2015 defendants issued allegedly materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that Chairman Michael Brauser was named as a defendant in multiple civil fraud litigation, that Chairman Michael Brauser was co-owner of a company that filed for bankruptcy and was sued as an adversary in that bankruptcy proceeding, and that IDI’s Transunion lawsuit could render IDI Inc’s stock worthless.
