NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of MGT Capital Investments, Inc. securities (NYSE:MGT) from May 9, 2016 through September 20, 2016, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for MGT investors under the federal securities laws.

According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) MGT was engaging and/or had engaged in conduct that would result in an SEC investigation; (2) the SEC investigation and the underlying conduct would cause the NYSE to refuse to list MGT’s 43.8 million shares required for the D-Vasive merger; (3) as such, the D-Vasive merger would likely not be completed; and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about MGT’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 21, 2016.
