Portfolio Pulse from Happy Mohamed
The SEC filed a complaint against SeaWorld Entertainment and James Atchison for making misleading statements about the impact of the documentary film Blackfish on the company's business. The defendants allegedly failed to disclose the 'Blackfish effect' to investors, leading to inflated stock prices. The SEC also filed a complaint against Frederick D. Jacobs for making an untrue statement before selling his SeaWorld stock. The defendants have consented to final judgments imposing a total of approximately $5.1 million in financial remedies. A Fair Fund has been established for the distribution of these funds to harmed investors.
