SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Investigation of DryShips, Inc. (DRYS)

NEW YORK, May 1, 2017

The investigation concerns whether DryShips and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

From November 9 through November 16, 2016, DryShips' stock price rose from $163 to $2,336 per share. The Wall Street Journal reported "A day after shares peaked," DryShips "embarked on a series of stock sales totaling more than $500 million," and continued to describe how DryShips sold its stock to Kalani Investments, which then sold the stock to "small investors." It was further promoted that this "sequence of events" could "yield" George Economou, DryShips' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "tens of millions in profits." Since DryShips stock peaked in mid-November at $2,336, the stock has dropped 99.9%, to $1.30 as of April 28, 2017.
