The lawsuit, spearheaded by the Rosen Law Firm, centers on allegations that the defendants engaged in "spoofing"—a practice where traders submit and cancel orders without the intent to execute them. By creating artificial supply and demand, the defendants allegedly misled market participants and artificially inflated bid-ask spreads for Genius Group (NYSE American: GNS). These baiting orders, according to the complaint, allowed the defendants to profit by manipulating the stock price to suit their own trading positions.
