The class in this case has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, DryShips made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose material information, specifically: that the Company engaged in a systemic stock-manipulation scheme to artificially inflate its share price; that DryShips' transactions with Kalani Investments Ltd. were an illegal capital-raising scheme, due in part to Kalani's failure to register as an underwriter with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission; and that as a result of the above, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. Since November 2016, DryShips' stock price has fallen approximately 99%, causing investors harm.
