Genius Group Sues Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC, Ayrton Capital, LLC and Waqas Khatri in New York Federal Court

SINGAPORE, March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading entrepreneur edtech and education group, announced that on February 27, 2023, the company filed a complaint in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, Case Number 1:23-cv-01639 against Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B, Ayrton Capital, LLC and Waqas Khatri (“The Parties”) seeking an Order that rescinds and declares a financing agreement with Ayrton Capital to be null and void. This lawsuit was filed by Warshaw Burstein LLP of New York and Christian Levine Law Group LLC of Texas, two firms that possess extensive experience and achieved considerable success in litigating stock manipulation cases.

The suit challenges multiple aspects of the financing agreement including Ayrton’s claim that in exchange for lending $18 million dollars to Genius, it can convert this loan into 49 million ordinary shares of the company worth around $200 million dollars. This suit follows multiple claims that the SEC has commenced against toxic lenders who are unregistered brokers and offer “death-spiral” financings to undercapitalized small and mid-cap companies.

Genius Group’s CEO, Roger Hamilton said that “the company is committed to protecting the integrity of its operations and the value of its shareholders equity by investigating and prosecuting toxic lenders, and market manipulators who violate federal securities laws.”
