According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. The SEC filed a lawsuit on September 7, 2018, against former officers of Cocrystal's predecessor company, BioZone, amongst other individuals and corporations. The SEC alleges that the defendants were participating in "highly profitable 'pump-and-dump' schemes...from 2013 through 2018" involving three public companies, including BioZone, that, "while enriching Defendants by millions of dollars, left retail investors holding virtually worthless shares." Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth, investors suffered losses.

Join the case to recover your losses.
