ASP Isotopes (ASPI) Continue to Slump Despite Response to Short Seller Report – Hagens Berman

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeta Global Holdings Corp. ZETA and certain of its top executives are now the target of a securities class action. Hagens Berman is investigating the allegations and urges investors in Zeta who purchased shares and suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. Class Period: Feb. 27, 2024 – Nov. 13, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Jan. 21, 2025 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/zeta Contact the Firm Now: ZETA@hbsslaw.com | 844-916-0895 Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (ZETA) Securities Class Action: The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented and concealed material adverse facts about the Zeta's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Zeta used two-way contracts to artificially inflate financial results; (2) that Zeta engaged in round trip transactions to artificially inflate financial results; (3) that Zeta utilized predatory consent farms to collect user data; (4) that these consent farms have driven almost the entirety of Zeta's growth; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The truth emerged on Nov. 13, 2024, when activist short seller Culper Research published a report entitled "Zeta Global Holdings Corp (ZETA): Shams, Scams, and Spam." The report alleged that the "integrity of the Company's data collection and reported financials" is severely undermined by two factors. First, the report alleged that "Zeta has formed ‘two-way' contracts with third party consent farms wherein the Company simultaneously acts as both a supplier and a buyer of consumer data," allowing the Company to "flatter reported revenue growth" and indicating possible "round-tripping" of revenue. Second, the report alleged that Zeta's collects the majority of its customer data from a network of "sham websites that hoodwink millions of consumers each month into handing their data over to Zeta under false pretenses." For example, the report alleged the Company and its subsidiaries operate a number of fake job boards which are designed to trick individuals into submitting personal data under the pretense of job applications. The report further alleged that the Company's "most valuable data" comes from these predatory websites, dubbed consent farms, which are "responsible for almost the entirety of the Company's growth." On this news, the Company's stock price fell 37% over a single trading day. "We're focused on whether Zeta may have inflated its financial performance by engaging in ‘round tripping' of revenue," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s amended and restated prospectus supplement dated October 4, 2024, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated November 10, 2023. TORONTO, Ontario and BROSSARD, Québec , Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF) (“Bitfarms” or the “Company”), a global vertically integrated Bitcoin data center company, today announced that, in connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) review of its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “SEC Review”), and in consultation with its Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and management, the Company has determined that its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (such interim periods together with the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the “Restatement Periods”) and the related management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, should be restated to correct a material error in the classification of proceeds derived from the sale of digital assets. Shareholders and users of Bitfarms’ financial statements should note that the restatements are not a result of any change to its operations, business or financial operating performance for the periods being restated. For any and all of the Restatement Periods, there is no impact on the Company’s overall cash position or net cash flows. Bitfarms previously categorized proceeds derived from the sale of digital assets as a cash flow from operating activities. In conjunction with the SEC review, it was determined that proceeds from the sale of digital assets should be classified as cash flow from investing activities. Due to the materiality of the error in classification, the Company is restating the financial statements for the Restatement Periods. In addition to the correction to the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company is also restating its financials to adjust for an error in the accounting for the redemption of warrants in 2023. A summary of the restatements is described in further detail in the tables set forth below (expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars). More details may be found in the revised financial statements and related revised management’s discussion and analyses, which are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

I think that you and I can both agree that being a future space repairman is a cool job, which is why developers Beard Envy have made us Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop , a timeloop roguelite about being a strange four-eyed fox dude armed only with gumption and a very large universal spaceship repair manual who has to make cash fixing ships or face death at the electromechanical trotters of his terrible boss, Uncle Chop. (I'm sure you can find some other ways to die, too.) And that, I must say, is something like close enough to the space repairman fantasy. Probably. Except for the part where sometimes to fix a ship you open it up and have to play a brutally hard platformer. An unpleasant surprise, to be sure. Okay, fine, this isn't a hardcore spaceship repair simulator but it is a pretty funny one, and it just released this week. Boasting a funky sense of humor, a host of goofy minigames, and a big manual to read when fixing ships, Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is something pretty much entirely unlike other games I've played—and for that I commend it. "Flaunt your basic literacy by consulting manual pages for guidance on diagnosing and correcting faults in spaceship modules, as well as operating workshop appliances," say the developers, "And if basic literacy isn’t your bag, then at least you’ve got pretty diagrams to gawp at!" Savage. Plus, every time you mess up real bad and don't make rent you die... but also you'll be able to pick up little upgrades for the next time loop around your fix-it-up purgatory. That's not to say that Uncle Chop's is inflexible. You can play one of two modes: The default timed, or the alternative that makes everything a bit harder and dings you for more money when you make mistakes. PC Gamer features producer Mollie Taylor enjoyed Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop quite a lot in a preview of the game, even if it apparently reminded her how fundamentally bad she is at reading directions . The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. "I still haven't been able to make that first rent payment after a couple hours," said Mollie. "But hey—I can do a fuel change now without even looking at the manual, and building that sort of knowledge is a satisfaction all its own. I promise I'll learn how to actually change a rebreather and pay Uncle Chop soon." As for the graphics? The story? The characters? "It's weird and wonderful in all the ways I want my games to be, like an interactive, deadlier episode of Regular Show," according to Mollie. You can find Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop on publisher Kasedo Games' website , and for sale on Epic and Steam for $20.

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday questioned whether the Tamil Nadu police were not even aware of the basic procedure of non-disclosure of the identity of the complainants in sexual assault cases. “How was the First Information Report (FIR) published online? Why was the identity of another person involved in the case [of sexual assault on the Anna University campus] not revealed? Suspicions of political pressure in this case are increasing. The case should be transferred to the CBI...,” he posted on social media. Leaders raise questions PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss urged the State government to suspend the officials who released the FIR that had the identity of the complainant. “Though two persons were involved in the case, only one of them has been arrested. Are the police attempting to protect the other accused and demoralise the complainant?..,” he asked. CPI (M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan condemned the police for publishing the FIR online. DMDK general secretary Premallatha Vijayakant, in a statement, questioned Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s silence in the case. The Chennai Press Club expressed shock over the disclosure of the identity of the complainant by a section of the media. It is morally wrong and legally offensive to disclose identities of women and children who file complaints of sexual assault, it said. However, Minister for Law S. Regupathy, at a press conference, said the State government had not revealed the identity of the complainant in the FIR. “The government is not attempting to silence the complainant. Having trust in this government, she came forward to lodge a complaint and the government took action.” Minister for Higher Education Govi Chezhiaan, speaking in Thanjavur, rebutted reports that claimed that the accused was a DMK member.

Bitcoin is hovering near $100,000 as Trump considers a new crypto chief for his administration. Charles Schwab's incoming CEO said he has not personally invested in crypto and prefers stocks. Schwab plans to enter spot crypto trading, pending regulatory changes under Trump's policies. Feeling a tinge of regret for not investing in bitcoin as it approaches $100,000? Charles Schwab's incoming CEO is in the same boat. "Crypto has certainly caught many's attention, and they've made a lot of money doing it," Rick Wurster, the bank's current president, told Bloomberg in a Thursday interview. "I have not bought crypto, and now I feel silly." Wurster explained why he's been reluctant to invest in crypto. "Well, I think what's holding me back is just a question around the true value of crypto," he said. "I like to invest in stocks, and with stocks there's cash flows you can rely upon, there's dividends that accrue to you. With crypto, it's less certain what that will be and it's less certain how to value it." Wurster said that he supports clients who want to invest in crypto, which has soared to new highs following Donald Trump's reelection. Bitcoin was trading hundreds of dollars away from the $100,000 mark on Friday as Trump reportedly considers candidates for a new " crypto czar " in his administration. "I've talked to a lot of our investors who tell me I'm completely missing the boat and tell me all the great things about crypto, and you know what? They've been right, not me, because it keeps going up," Wurster said. Firms, including Andreessen Horowitz , are optimistic about another crypto boom with hopes of more lenient crypto policies under the Trump administration, as opposed to the stricter regulatory environment under Biden. Although Schwab already offers crypto-linked ETFs and crypto futures, Wurster said the company will move toward spot trading, which would help it compete directly in the sector with firms like Fidelity Investments and Robinhood Markets. "We will get into spot crypto when the regulatory environment changes, and we do anticipate that it will change, and we're getting ready for that eventuality," Wurster said.17th Death Anniversary of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto: President Zardari pledges to protect rights of all provincesLuigi Mangione charged with murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, court record shows

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are often an essential part of a diversified portfolio, thanks to their low cost, accessibility, liquidity, and sheer quantity. And as the US enters its third year of a bull market, ETFs have seen record launches and adoption as of late. From those focused on pet care and “sin” stocks to ones that measure online social sentiment, there is “almost an ETF for everything at this point,” Strategas Asset Management ETF strategist Todd Sohn said on a recent episode of Yahoo Finance’s Stocks in Translation podcast (see video above or listen below). This embedded content is not available in your region. So how does one know which ones to invest in? Sohn recommended adding both large caps and small caps when selecting equity ETFs for your portfolio. This ensures there’s diversification to balance out the more volatile moments in the market. "Most of my portfolio is going to be in large-cap stocks," Sohn said. "But there will be times where those take a breather, and you'll see the more value-oriented corners such as banks, which are very dominant in small caps, assume a leadership role." Having a portfolio that utilizes both large- and small-cap ETFs allows for breathing room when those traditionally profitable trades inevitably see a downturn. "You want to make sure when you buy small caps that you know what's in the index itself because ... some 40% to 50% of [the Russell 2000] is unprofitable," Sohn cautioned. "These companies do not make money. [They’re] zombie companies.” “If you're to play small caps, use a different index provider, like the S&P 600, which at least has a filter for profitability,” he continued. “So you're going to get higher-quality companies in there. Or you could use an active manager who studies small-cap stocks for a living. And if they do their job correctly, they will find those winning stocks and the investment will perform well.” Though large-cap ETFs may seem like a more stable way to make returns on your investments, it’s important to have a balance to ensure you’re making the most of your portfolio. Sohn advised investors to have a plan for what to do when their current investments aren’t performing consistently, especially if the stock market sees a downturn sooner rather than later. “I think, depending on your time horizon and your risk, it cannot hurt to have some sort of plan,” Sohn said. “You can buy put options or you can review your current holdings and say, ‘I have too much megacap growth, maybe I should sell some of that and put it into small-cap or even international stocks,’ if you're looking for more diversification. But just have a plan for when that correction strikes.” On Yahoo Finance's podcast Stocks in Translation , Yahoo Finance editor Jared Blikre and producer Sydnee Fried cut through the market mayhem, noisy numbers, and hyperbole to bring you essential conversations and insights from across the investing landscape.
