新加坡，2025 年 11 月 14 日（环球新闻通讯社）-- Genius Group Limited（纽约证券交易所美国：GNS）（“Genius Group” 或 “公司”），一家领先的以人工智能为驱动、以比特币为首的教育集团，今天宣布已在美国纽约南区地方法院提起集体诉讼，指控 Citadel Securities LLC 和 Virtu Americas LLC（“被告”）参与了一项长期的市场操纵计划，包括对公司股票的虚假交易和裸卖空行为，违反了 1934 年证券交易法第 10(b) 条、第 9(a)(2) 和 9(e) 条以及第 20(a) 条的规定。
公司认为，此次诉讼在保护股东利益和公司的方面设立了多个先例。因此，公司正在采取行动以追讨因被指控的市场操纵而造成的损失：
<ul>
<li>本次诉讼是代表公司及所有因被告的指控行为而以人为压低的价格出售 Genius Group 股票的投资者提起的集体诉讼。</li>
<li>提起集体诉讼将帮助公司不仅为 Genius Group 的损失提供补救，还为所有受到伤害的股东提供补救。</li>
<li>公司将请求法院任命其为集体诉讼的 “首席原告”，以便公司能够有效管理诉讼并努力保护股东的利益。</li>
</ul>
今天提起的集体诉讼指控被告参与了一项长期且广泛的操纵交易计划，集中在反复 “虚假交易” Genius Group 股票上。“虚假交易” 是一种操纵性和非法的交易行为，涉及提交然后取消买入或卖出订单，而没有任何真正的执行意图。这些 “诱饵订单” 的目的是误导其他市场参与者关于某一证券的供给和/或需求水平，或关于与某一证券相关的价格波动程度，从而影响该证券的市场价格。
投诉称，在至少三年的时间内——从 2022 年 4 月 12 日 到 2025 年 5 月 30 日（“集体诉讼期间”）——被告反复进行数千笔虚假交易，旨在制造出 Genius 股票供给过剩和波动过大的虚假印象。公司已确认，诉讼寻求的赔偿金额至少为之前报告的 2.5 亿美元。
这些操纵性订单旨在（并成功）欺骗或诱使其他投资者以人为压低的价格出售其持有的股票。具体而言，投诉称：
<ul>
<li>在集体诉讼期间的 98% 交易日 中，被告反复进行 虚假交易，旨在操纵 Genius 股票的价格。被告在某个交易日内输入数十笔——有时是数千笔——这样的交易，并在下单后毫秒内取消。</li>
<li>被告在短短几天内通过场外交易反复建立巨额空头头寸，然后通过虚假交易（诱饵订单 在下单后 100 毫秒内 取消）轰炸市场，导致 Genius Group 股票价格大幅下跌。</li>
<li>在这些诱饵订单下单后 不到一分钟，被告通过 场外交易 卖出了大量 Genius**股票空头**。</li>
<li>被告还进行了 大量裸卖空，即不受现有市场库存支持的不当卖空。实际上，Genius Group 股票的重大下跌也伴随着此类活动的明显增加。</li>
</ul>
通过提起这项集体诉讼，Genius Group 展示了其对股东的承诺，公司打算努力保护他们的利益。
Genius Group 首席执行官 Roger James Hamilton 表示：“我们一直在呼吁公平市场，并采取行动保护我们的股东。提起这项诉讼是公司在保护公司及其股东、揭露投资者所面临的不公平和非法行为方面的一项重要里程碑。”
“即使在今天，多家经纪商已取消了 Genius 股票的买入按钮，而保留了卖出按钮，使得购买变得困难，但出售我们的股票却很容易，且没有提供充分的解释说明他们为何选择针对我们的公司。我们警告任何试图以股东利益为代价获利的恶劣行为者，我们将继续采取强有力的主动行动来捍卫我们的公司。”
公司及其法律团队将继续适时向股东提供此案的最新进展。公司还提醒股东，2025 年 11 月 28 日是通过直接登记系统（DRS）转移股份的记录日期，以便与公司的转让代理 VStock 进行账面登记，从而享受比特币忠诚支付计划，该计划旨在减少可供卖空者使用的公司股份数量。该计划的详细信息可在此处找到。

</div>The Company believes the lawsuit sets a number of precedents with regards to the protection of shareholder interests and the Company. As such, the Company is taking action to recover damages caused due to alleged market manipulation:
<div class="lb-trans">公司认为，此次诉讼在保护股东利益和公司的方面设立了多个先例。因此，公司正在采取行动以追讨因被指控的市场操纵而造成的损失：
</div><ul>
<li>This lawsuit is a Class Action Complaint filed on behalf of the Company and ALL of its investors who sold Genius Group stock at artificially deflated prices as a result of Defendants’ alleged abuses.</li>
<li>Pursuing a class action will help the Company facilitate a recovery not just for Genius Group’s losses, but for all its harmed shareholders as well.</li>

</ul>
</div>The class action complaint filed today that Defendants engaged in longstanding and widespread manipulative trading scheme centered on repeatedly “spoofing” Genius Group stock. “Spoofing” is a manipulative and illegal trading practice that involves submitting and then cancelling buy or sell orders without any genuine intent to execute them. The purpose of these “baiting orders” is to mislead other market participants about the level of supply and/or demand for a security, or about the degree of price volatility associated with a security, and thereby influence market prices for that security.

</div>The complaint alleges that for a period of at least three years – between April 12, 2022 and May 30, 2025 (the “Class Period”) – Defendants repeatedly entered thousands of spoofing trades designed to create the false impression that there was both excess supply and excess volatility in Genius stock. The Company has confirmed that the lawsuit seeks at least the previously reported no less than $250 million in damages.

<li>On 98% of all trading days during the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly entered spoofing trades designed to manipulate the price of Genius stock. Defendants entered dozens – sometimes thousands – of such trades on a given trading day, canceling them within milliseconds of placement.</li>
<li>Defendants repeatedly built massive short positions through off-exchange trading over a few trading days, and then bombarded the market with spoofing trades (baiting orders canceled within 100 milliseconds of placement) causing significant declines in the price of Genius Group stock.</li>
<li>Less than a minute after these baiting orders were placed, Defendants sold significant volumes of Genius stock short through off-exchange trading.</li>
<li>Defendants also engaged in significant naked short-selling, i.e., improper short sales that are unsupported by existing market inventory. Indeed, major declines in Genius Group stock were also accompanied by large spikes in evidence of such activity.</li>
</ul>
