MSP Recovery (NASDAQ: LIFW) has been on quite the rollercoaster ride, defying gravity with over 400% gain since September 14th, 2023 with over 240% of that gain happening this week alone. However, the exact reasons behind this meteoric rise remain elusive. Typically, when a company drops major news, you’d expect an instant stock reaction. But in this case, the last significant update from the company was about a week ago, and it’s questionable whether that news was much on the positive side, yet the stock is still zooming upwards.

Background:

Legal Battles and CEO Extravagnce:
Step back and look at their stock chart—MSP has taken a major hit in value this year, and it’s not without reason. Surprisingly, digging into the company’s operations revealed some unpleasant surprises we hadn’t anticipated. It’s been a rough ride for them.
The company was just recently involved in a class action law suit led by recognized leader in shareholder rights litigation, Robbins LLP. The case revolved around MSP not providing essential information to investors transparently.
There were a number of claims mentioned, here’s a quick list.
- MSP didn’t reveal there was an ongoing investigation by the SEC and federal prosecutors.
- They gave out financial information to investors that was significantly wrong and deceptive.
- When admitting they needed to fix their financial results, they didn’t reveal the full extent of the issues.
- MSP couldn’t financially handle the claims they were assigned to manage by a major health and engaged in deceitful actions with said provider
- The Registration Statement had lots of wrong or misleading statements and was poorly prepared.
- Their Proxy also had false or misleading statements.
It all started on July 31, 2023, where The Miami Herald unveiled significant revelations. Stating the CEO John H. Ruiz has been living quite the lifestyle buying several waterfront mansions in Miami, even an entire Boeing passenger jet.
It’s not surprising the Ruiz’s lifestyle was so extravagant considering LifeWallet was once valued at more than $32 billion, but as you can see the company is now worth a small fraction of that. That said, Ruiz’s expensive lifestyle would be tough to continue.
Then again, on August 1, 2023, the Company made disclosures to the SEC (Form 8-K), confirming The Miami Herald’s findings. The stock took another substantial hit, dropping over 12%. Adding to the unfolding drama. After that, a substantial $67 million lawsuit was filed against the Company on the same day, resulting in an 18% plummet in the stock price.
The narrative continues on! On August 17, 2023, MSP acknowledged a notification letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department. They confirmed the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s Rule 5250(c)(1) due to a delayed Form 10-Q filing for the period ending June 30, 2023. This revelation caused a 19% stock price drop over two days.
With that said, we’ll bet you’re seriously wondering how could this company could possibly see recovery (pun intended) after all these allegations were laid out.
What happened:
Surprisingly enough, it seems Robbins LLP just recently lost the case against MSP and there was an announcement made on September 13th, 2023 about it. All those allegations have vanished into thin air. It’s baffling how a company with so many strikes against it can seemingly wrap things up so quickly. The whole situation leaves us questioning what’s really going on.
Since the announcement the other week, the company’s valuation has skyrocketed, at some points even peaking at an increase of over 400%. Naturally with that kind of trading action, it’s no surprise day traders are getting in on the action. MSP is trending all over Twitter amongst notable users like @timothysykes, @stockplaymaker1, and @AngryRed316 talking about it.
At this point, it looks like investors are basing their trades more on chart patterns and less on the company’s solid financial footing. MSP didn’t deliver great news in its latest earnings report, showing quite a large net loss of over $400 million. It’s quite likely the allegations had a role to play in this financial blow. The real question is if MSP can get its act together, start making real profits, and avoid a chapter 11. Either way, we’ll continue to follow along to see how things pan out!

Obviously, the writer of this article doesn’t have a proofreader. Share price today is $0.03 +/-, yet you write over and over again about the amazing “recent high” of $0.0165 and how it will no doubt get there again. Amazing.
I know it will probably drop down there long before it reaches $0.165, but that isn’t the point. This a very bad mistake when it comes to attempting to be a “reliable” source for stock market information. You get my point.
