Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, today announced that it has filed a class action lawsuit against Defendants Picard Medical Inc., Patrick NJ Schnegelsberg, Matt Schuster, Yuncai “Richard” Fang, Chris Hsieh, Westpark Capital, Inc., Sentinel Brokers Company, Inc., R.F. Lafferty & Co. Inc., American Trust Investments, and MaloneBailey, LLP (collectively, the “Defendants”). The action, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and captioned Louie v. Picard Medical, Inc. et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-01024, asserts claims under §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities, other than Defendants and their affiliates, who purchased Picard Medical Securities (“PMI”) between September 2, 2025, and October 31, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and who were damaged thereby. The lead plaintiff deadline in this action is April 3, 2026.
LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE ON APRIL 3, 2026
Picard Medical claims to engage in designing, manufacturing, production, supply, marketing, and sale of medical device products. Their website details their most significant product is an artificial heart called “SynCardia TAH.” The company is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, with operations in the United States, Europe, and China.
The complaint alleges that Defendants violated provisions of the Securities Act by making materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and the true nature of the trading activity in its securities. The complaint alleges that Defendants were uniquely situated to orchestrate a pump-and-dump scheme on its class A ordinary shares. After plaintiffs and class members purchased PMI, the complaint alleges that Picard’s stock became the subject of an illicit social-media-based promotion scheme that artificially inflated its price. These reports detail how impersonators claiming to be legitimate financial advisors touted Picard in online forums, chat groups, and through social media posts with sensational but baseless claims to create a buying frenzy among retail investors.
LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE ON APRIL 3, 2026
