Overstock Allegedly Did Not Disclose Information Regarding Its Blockchain Platform, tZero
According to a class action complaint filed on March 29, 2018, Overstock.com Inc. allegedly violated federal securities laws when the company made false and misleading statements between August 3, 2017 and March 26, 2018. On December 18, 2017, Overstock announced that its Medici Ventures business and tZERO trading system was engaging in a $250 million coin offering. Shares of Overstock.com Inc. grew from $10.57 per share in early 2016 to as high as $86.90 per share in January 2018.
On March 1, 2018, Overstock.com Inc. announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was investigating tZERO, a blockchain platform similar to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin prices were quickly increasing at the time, Overstock.com Inc. acknowledged that “the investigation could result in a delay of the tZero security token offering, negative publicity for tZero or us, and may have a material adverse effect on us or on the current and future business ventures of tZero.”
Plaintiffs in the class action claim that Overstock failed to disclose that the company’s coin offering had a number of issues, and that the company’s Medici business was rapidly losing money.
