According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Medbox Inc (OTC: MDBX) common shares between November 20, 2013 and December 29, 2014, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between November 20, 2013 and December 29, 2014 Medbox Inc allegedly overstated Medbox Inc’s revenues by recognizing revenue on customer contracts before it had been earned and that as a result Medbox Inc’s stock traded at allegedly artificially inflated prices between November 20, 2013 and December 29, 2014, reaching an intra-day high of $93.50 on January 8, 2014. The plaintiff further alleges that while defendants kept the full extent of their fraud concealed between November 20, 2013 and December 29, 2014, while the market learned bits of the truth through several partial disclosures.
On February 18, 2014, a report was published stating that Medbox Inc “has systematically and repeatedly committed FRAUD on their financial statements, and the public statements they make about their financials are laced with lies.” On December 30, 2014, Medbox Inc (OTC: MDBX) announced it will amend and restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, the third and fourth quarters of 2013 and the first three quarters of 2014.
Shares of Medbox Inc (OTC: MDBX) declined from $40.25 per share in early 2014 to as low as $4.25 per share in early December 2014, respectively $4.96 per share on January 22, 2015.
