Background on the Biozoom Securities Class
Litigation
The action charges KCG with violations of the Securities Act of
1933. Biozoom was previously known as Entertainment Art, Inc.
(“Entertainment Art”).
The action alleges that, according to an ongoing action by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), between January 2013
and June 2013, certain Argentinean nationals opened U.S. brokerage
accounts and deposited millions of shares of unregistered
Entertainment Art stock into those accounts. On March 12, 2013,
Entertainment Art announced a substantial change in business
operations from the development of fashionable leather bags to
involvement in the biomedical industry.
On April 1, 2013, Entertainment Art changed its name to Biozoom
and listed itself on the OTCBB. Beginning on May 23, 2013, Biozoom
began issuing a series of press releases claiming it had created
the world’s first portable, handheld consumer device to instantly
measure certain “biomarkers,” including anti-oxidant levels,
vitamin absorption, and stress levels. After these press releases
and certain stock promoters’ reiteration of their claims, Biozoom’s
stock price and trading volume increased significantly.
According to the complaint, between May 16, 2013 and June 19,
2013, the Argentinean nationals sold millions of unregistered
shares of Biozoom for large profits, however, no registration
statement was filed with the SEC in connection with the sales and
the sales did not qualify for any exception from registration.
Plaintiff and other class members purchased their unregistered
shares of Biozoom on the OTCBB from defendant KCG. On June 25,
2013, the SEC issued a ten day trading suspension in Biozoom stock.
When Biozoom stock resumed trading on July 10, 2013, it fell $3.01
per share, or over 87%, from its closing price on June 24, 2013
(before the trading halt), to close at $0.44, on heavy trading
volume.
