On September 7, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a lawsuit against OPKO Health, Inc. and its CEO and Chairman, Phillip Frost, alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleges that Defendants were participants in "highly profitable 'pump-and-dump' schemes . . . from 2013 through 2018" in the stock of three public companies that, "while enriching Defendants by millions of dollars, left retail investors holding virtually worthless shares."

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of OPKO Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK) common shares between September 26, 2013 and September 7, 2018, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.

More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between September 26, 2013 and September 7, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that OPKO Health, Inc. and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Phillip Frost, were engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme with several other individuals and companies in their investments in several penny stocks, that this illicit scheme would result in governmental scrutiny including from the SEC, and that as a result, defendants' statements about OPKO Health, Inc's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Those who purchased shares of OPKO Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
