Case Status:    DISMISSED    
On or around 02/28/2018 (Court's order of dismissal)

Filing Date: September 22, 2016

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. ("MGT" or the Company) is a U.S.- based Bitcoin miner with operations at an owned facility in Georgia.

According to the law firm press release, the filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was engaging and/or had engaged in conduct that would result in an SEC investigation; (2) that the SEC investigation and the underlying conduct would cause the NYSE to refuse to list the Company’s 43.8 million shares required for the D-Vasive merger; (3) that, as such, the D-Vasive merger would likely not be completed; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about MGT’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On September 19, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that on September 15, 2016, the Company had received a subpoena from the SEC requesting “certain information” from the Company. On this news, MGT’s stock price fell $0.74 per share, or 22.7%, to close at $2.52 per share on September 19, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume, thereby injuring investors.

On September 20, 2016, MGT issued a press release entitled “MGT Provides Update on Status of D-Vasive Acquisition.” Therein, the Company disclosed that the NYSE informed the Company on September 19, 2016, that the NYSE would not approve the listing of the 43.8 million shares that the Company was required to issue in order to complete the closing of its D-Vasive merger. On this news, MGT’s stock price fell $0.63 per share, or 25%, to close at $1.89 per share on September 20, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume.

On April 11, 2017, the Court issued an Order consolidating cases, appointing Lead Plaintiffs, and appointing Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended Complaint on June 30. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended Complaint on August 29. On February 27, 2018, the Court issued an Order granting Defendants' Motion to Dismiss in its entirety and closed the case.
