The legal action centers on accusations of "spoofing," a practice where defendants allegedly placed and canceled orders for Genius securities without any intention of execution. According to the complaint, these baiting orders were designed to manufacture false volatility and inflate stock prices for the benefit of the company’s officers. This activity reportedly widened the bid-ask spread, directly increasing transaction costs for retail and institutional investors.
Genius Group Faces Class Action Suit Over Alleged Spoofing Scheme
A federal class action lawsuit now targets Genius Group Limited, accusing the company and its officers of orchestrating a deceptive trading scheme. Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC filed the complaint, claiming the firm manipulated stock prices through artificial supply and demand tactics between April 2022 and May 2025.
Investors who purchased Genius stock during the specified period have until August 28, 2026, to file for lead plaintiff status. While the firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning costs are only recovered if the litigation succeeds, the lawsuit aims to address what lead counsel Peretz Bronstein describes as a fundamental breach of market integrity. Those seeking to review the full complaint or participate in the recovery process can contact the firm's legal team at 917-590-0911.
