Event Summary

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers or sellers of Genius Group Limited securities between April 12, 2022 and May 30, 2025 of the August 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that defendants, including Citadel Securities and Virtu Financial, engaged in manipulative and illegal trading practices known as 'spoofing' - submitting and cancelling buy or sell orders without genuine intent to execute them. These 'baiting orders' allegedly misled other market participants about the true supply and demand for Genius securities, influencing the stock price to benefit defendants' trading positions and increasing investors' transaction costs by inflating the bid-ask spread. The lawsuit has already been filed, and investors who wish to serve as lead plaintiff must move the Court by August 28, 2026. Genius Group Limited is listed on NYSE American under the ticker GNS.
