• Lion Biotechnologies, through its former CEO Manish  Singh, engaged in a scheme  to mislead investors by commissioning over 10 internet publications and 20 widely distributed emails promoting Lion Biotechnologies to potential investors  that purported to be  independent from the  company when, in  fact, they were  paid promotions;
   
• former CEO Singh engaged  a notorious stock promotion firm  to pay writers  to  publish articles  about  Lion Biotechnologies  on  investment websites as well as to coordinate the distribution of articles to thousands of electronic mailboxes;
   
• former  CEO Singh  actively  participated  in  the promotional work for  Lion Biotechnologies and  understood that the  promotion firm was using writers  who would not disclose  that Lion Biotechnologies  was indirectly compensating  them for  their publications;  and
   
• as  a  result, Defendants’ public  statements were  materially false  and misleading  at  all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the filed lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
