However, these strategies can sometimes devolve into disinformation efforts aimed at tarnishing reputations.</p>
  42. <p>Hollywood actress Blake Lively, for instance, faced a smear campaign after voicing concerns about harassment by a director and co-star. This deliberate effort to undermine her credibility highlights how PR tactics can sometimes be misused to shift narratives and manipulate public perception.</p>
  43. <p>Dale Bhagwagar, known as the Father of Bollywood PR for having established the first entertainment PR agency in the Hindi film industry in the nineties and credited with creating the Bollywood PR machinery as it exists today, notes that such campaigns often echo political disinformation strategies.</p>
  44. <p>The Bollywood PR guru points out that false narratives and manipulated information are strategically deployed to serve specific agendas, often exploiting unsuspecting individuals to amplify misleading content. &#8220;PRs should focus on ethical methods and avoid crossing lines unless it serves a larger cause benefiting society at large,&#8221; he adds.</p>
  45. <p>Bollywood has encountered similar challenges. In 2023, deepfake videos falsely portraying actresses like Alia Bhatt and Rashmika Mandanna surfaced, raising serious concerns. These manipulated videos underscored the potential of technology to harm reputations and spread falsehoods.</p>
  46. <p>Beyond individual cases, Bollywood has also faced coordinated online disinformation aimed at boycotting films. Ghost accounts and orchestrated hate campaigns have targeted movies and actors, affecting box office outcomes and creating a polarizing environment that stifles artistic freedom.</p>
  47. <p>To counter these issues, it is essential to critically evaluate the information we consume and share. As Bhagwagar suggests, misinformation thrives on unchecked dissemination.</p>
  48. <p>By fostering a culture of accountability and discernment, both within the industry and among audiences, we can curb the spread of disinformation and uphold the integrity of creative expression.</p>

(NASDAQ: APLT) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.</p>
  89. <p>If you invested in Applied Therapeutics, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=8y3IaO58oI1DDPM-sCXWHQ1ejC6Xjkq1--oEzIaynF5KjvAaym_YPm6ROYx0wQmLni2Mcr-otzRJoJ_LRFA0V0wuhJgHJLda5UWNtb9TDadVa0suTL_ieM55wGuUSQRh84JQvUAwGkexUsq4AqG06Oz1i9N6NsSGUS1QyMxlwYaXahZoFoGr8glUWePYuqKSWON5IJ_h5msWiZVcC4db4A==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><strong>https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/applied-therapeutics-inc</strong></a>.</p>
  90. <p>Investors have until February 18, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Applied Therapeutics securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned <em>Alexandru v. Applied Therapeutics, Inc.</em>, <em>et al.</em>, No. 24-cv-09715.</p>
  91. <p><strong>What is the Lawsuit About?</strong></p>
  92. <p>Applied Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in rare diseases. The Company’s lead drug candidate, govorestat, is a central nervous system penetrant Aldose Reductase Inhibitor for the treatment of CNS rare metabolic diseases, including Galactosemia.</p>
  93. <p>During the relevant period, the Company stated that its New Drug Applications submitted to regulators for govorestat were “supported by rapid and sustained reduction in galactitol, which resulted in a meaningful benefit on clinical outcomes across pediatric patients, alongside a favorable safety profile.” Applied Therapeutics also assured investors that its tests were “performed properly” and that the Company “felt good about the quality of the data,” stating that it “took really extensive steps” and “actually videotaped” and had “master trainers” review all of the performances of the 10-meter walk-run test—the primary endpoint of the Company’s Phase III INSPIRE study for govorestat.</p>
  94. <p><strong>The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed</strong></p>
  95. <p>On November 27, 2024, Applied Therapeutics issued a press release stating that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter for the NDA for govorestat. The Complete Response Letter stated that the FDA completed its review of the application and determined that it was unable to approve the NDA due to “deficiencies in the clinical application.”</p>
  96. <p>This news caused the price of Applied Therapeutics stock to fall more than 80% over the course of multiple trading days, from a closing price of $10.21 per share on November 26, 2024 to a closing price of $1.75 per share on December 2, 2024.</p>
  97. <p>Then, on December 2, 2024, Applied Therapeutics revealed that it received a warning letter from the FDA relating to its govorestat study discussing “issues related to electronic data capture” and “a dosing error in the dose-escalation phase of the study resulting in slightly lower levels than targeted in a limited number of patients[.]”</p>
  98. <p>This news caused the price of Applied Therapeutics stock to fall more than 26% over the course of multiple trading days, from a closing price of $1.75 per share on December 2, 2024 to a closing price of $1.29 per share on December 5, 2024.</p>

  226. <p>Laguna Niguel, California, Dec. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; <u><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=WxySRPBbAKplidqPc5KALro6RmTYv-FFjkbyvVbENncv1XY2mgeZW4UbdS21P0kbf3gNH3UEA87NergiIYGH4MnS4TfdsZ-kgnlVcv3s72Q=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Joint Venture Loans">Joint Venture Loans</a></u>, a real estate financing company, introduces financing solutions in the form of Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), double closing, gap funding, and slow flip loans to simplify deal executions for investors. Through these funding options, investors can overcome common financial hurdles and unlock new opportunities in the real estate market.  </p>
  227. <p> “In real estate, timing and flexibility are key,” said Joint Venture Loans founder and CEO Johny Omaga. “By leveraging solutions like Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), gap funding, and double closing, investors can close deals quickly, bridge financial gaps, and confidently move forward with their projects.”  </p>
  228. <p> Omaga is a seasoned private lender and a Verified Investor certificate holder based in Laguna Niguel, California. With over a decade of experience in real estate investing and lending, he has developed a portfolio focused on fix and flips, ground-up construction, and <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Ra5EZWASqWocODq27zn0Q-b0WPwfX77nrjmePV7_8fQsTF1FS3bThLx8gp8ki8krmEExC5L9IwnG2KxBmDGAmjt_2j23d3nSf5Aww_fL9VY=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>transactional funding</u></a>. His diverse investments, including mobile home parks, a car wash, and short-term rentals, showcase his ability to identify high-return opportunities. </p>
  229. <p> <strong>Strategic Partnerships fo</strong><strong>r </strong><strong>Loan</strong><strong> Transactions</strong></p>
  230. <p> Joint Venture Loans offers a collaborative approach to financing real estate ventures. The company partners with investors, providing the essential capital required for EMD, probate, or other closing costs. This eliminates the need for investors to tap into their own resources, allowing them to pursue deals with confidence.</p>
  231. <p> Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), or an <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=lqMWxByEaEOjPZI1L_EIQV0hMzkMywiE-xryAZ5G7CZ1dU0XTciKAAePZYZ0n2tksYpU539roHAMmUtNrPDcUA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>EMD loan</u></a>, is a home acquisition process tool. Joint Venture Loans provides EMD funding to help buyers secure their property quickly and efficiently. EMD loan acts as a deposit made by the buyer to demonstrate their commitment and good faith to the seller, often influencing their decision to close the sale.  </p>
  232. <p> With Joint Venture Loans, this deposit can be financed, allowing homebuyers to avoid tying up their own capital upfront. This financing solution not only strengthens the buyer’s position in a competitive market but also enables quicker closings by providing immediate proof of intent. By using EMD, buyers can streamline the acquisition process, ensuring that the financial commitment is met without delaying their ability to move forward with their real estate goals.  </p>
  233. <p> <strong>Flexibility and Transparency in Transactional Funding</strong></p>
  234. <p> Beyond its Joint Venture program, Joint Venture Loans offers transactional funding, a fast and adaptable solution for various costs associated with real estate transactions. This includes covering expenses like <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=uf-LSlWWAvmJ_A5oOomlMSFhvaTZCIokRYJbed9vy8ASfFig3-0MkAMcR12CdmrXaGmiijV9t4r56SG0i_L4-OGcFEE_f7DI1FLUGCMctlY=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>double closings</u></a> and eliminating the need for credit checks or upfront obligation fees. Notably, minimal to no fees are incurred if a deal falls through, offering a risk-free financial bridge for investors.</p>
  235. <p> Double closing involves two separate transactions: the first where the investor or buyer acquires the property, and the second where the property is sold to a third party, often at a higher price.  </p>
  236. <p> The company enables clients to execute double closings smoothly by providing the necessary short-term funding to bridge the gap between the two transactions. This allows investors to quickly flip properties without having to wait for the full sale to complete, facilitating faster returns on their investments. Double closing provides a method for managing transactions efficiently and mitigating financial risk, offering clients an adaptable approach to navigate today’s competitive real estate market.</p>
  237. <p> <strong>Unlocking Potential Beyond Traditional Loans</strong></p>
  238. <p> “Joint venture real estate offers a compelling alternative to conventional financing methods,” explained Omaga. “Unlike traditional loans with high interest rates and rigid terms, our approach prioritizes flexibility and shared risk, enabling investors to pursue projects that might otherwise be unfeasible.”</p>
  239. <p> <strong>Gap Funding: Bridging the Investment Gap for Fix-and-Flip Investors</strong></p>
  240. <p> Omaga’s company recognizes the challenges faced by fix-and-flip investors who often rely on private or hard money loans, which frequently cover only a portion of the total project cost. Its <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=lfxcY8YoOiYyzsI0ZqYbLdbCzpWI_0glj_FN138ru58u-bYxZJVoxavjvmfiKguny7UevTjFGmrZnu_UZ6kicohBoa9G3RE2joLy9pqvnEs=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>gap funding solution</u></a> addresses this shortfall, providing the essential capital to bridge the gap between the initial loan amount and remaining financial obligations.</p>
  241. <p> <strong>Slow Flip Loans</strong></p>
  242. <p> A <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=kXuXe7BPLROO4GZ1mm-_WJsmWuvy27MaXQlyHlI_jEvZaZwQtqVIvTuiLSWKbE97RGvZLL_ErHRtEkc6vLH-9rwyjQCSYCOeQ7BfEA_IxYE=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>Slow Flip loan</u></a> is a funding option designed for real estate investors who use the &#8220;slow flip&#8221; strategy. In this strategy, investors purchase a property, typically with high leverage funding, and then sell it quickly to a tenant buyer using a contract for deed with seller financing. The buyer makes payments over time, and the seller retains the legal title until the full amount is paid.</p>
  243. <p> Joint Venture Loans’ Slow Flip loan program offers up to 100% financing for property purchases, allowing investors to maximize their returns while minimizing upfront capital requirements. This strategy is ideal for investors seeking passive income with limited involvement and is especially attractive for out-of-state investors, as it requires no repairs or maintenance.</p>
  244. <p> <strong>A Streamlined Process for Accelerated Success</strong></p>
  245. <p> Joint Venture Loans prioritizes efficiency in all its funding processes. By submitting a simple online form, investors can initiate contact with a funding specialist who will guide them through the process. Following a Joint Venture Agreement and document review, funding can be secured within the same day, expediting transaction completion.</p>
  246. <p>The company also offers connections to a network of private money lenders. For those requiring a private money loan, submit deal details to info@thevisionalchemy.com. The company will facilitate introductions to potential lenders within their network who are actively seeking investment opportunities.</p>

  274. <p><strong>CASE ALLEGATIONS</strong>: Celsius is a holding company that develops, processes, markets, distributes, and sells energy drinks and liquid supplements.</p>
  275. <p>The <em>Celsius </em>class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Celsius materially oversold inventory to PepsiCo, Inc. (“Pepsi”) far in excess of demand, and faced a looming sales cliff during which Pepsi would significantly reduce its purchases of Celsius products; (ii) as Pepsi drew down significant amounts of inventory overstock, Celsius’ sales would materially decline in future periods, hurting Celsius’ financial performance and outlook; (iii) Celsius’ sales rate to Pepsi was unsustainable and created a misleading impression of Celsius’ financial performance and outlook; (iv) as a result, Celsius’ business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as indicated in defendants’ Class Period statements; and (v) consequently, defendants’ statements regarding Celsius’ outlook and expected financial performance were false and misleading at all relevant times.</p>
  276. <p>On May 27, 2024, the price of Celsius stock fell nearly 13% as analysts and investors digested some of the latest retail store trends reported by Nielsen.</p>
  277. <p>Then, on September 4, 2024, defendants revealed, among other things, that Celsius’ sales to Pepsi were reduced from “roughly around [$]100 million to [$]120 million . . . from what [Pepsi] ordered last quarter,” that Celsius was “still seeing these inventory levels being reduced” and that it had “increased” in the third quarter of 2024, and that “just to be precise with the [$]100 million to [$]120 million figure, . . . we’re seeing approximately [$]100 million to [$]120 million less in orders to Pepsi in Q3 this year versus Q3 last year.” On this news, the price of Celsius stock fell more than 11%.</p>
  278. <p>Finally, on November 6, 2024, Celsius disclosed that Celsius’ overall third quarter of 2024 “revenue was approximately $265.7 million, compared to $384.8 million for the” third quarter of 2023, a 31% decline; Celsius’ North American revenues fell 33%; and its “‘[r]evenue from [Pepsi] declined $123.9 million,’” while “[c]oncurrently, related retailer promotional allowances created revenue headwinds.” Celsius further revealed that its quarterly “gross profit decreased by $71.9 million, or 37%”; that its quarterly “[g]ross profit margin was 46.0% . . . , a 440 basis point decrease from 50.4% for the same period in 2023”; and that the “decrease in gross profit was due to promotional allowances, incentives, and other billbacks as a percentage of gross revenue” resulting from Pepsi’s drawdown. On this news, the price of Celsius stock fell an additional 5%.</p>
  279. <p>The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=UEJG7JDtd8WS1OtLUKMZJB2tPFMB2Li8-iIT7ACHV7NKTXXsOynJdNBOPW2z6pokhurEZe4z4G10OZ0Vmpv7VdvRmU_PlltG-pCPsZNCT7oMBDxeilCwu3gwjA8neC0-Lwl0CSg2V0sFUwmrhVgR5Q==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><strong>extensive experience</strong></a> in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud.

  280. <p><strong>THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS</strong>: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Celsius common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the <em>Celsius </em>class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the<em> Celsius </em>class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the <em>Celsius </em>class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the <em>Celsius </em>class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.</p>

  305. <p><strong>CASE ALLEGATIONS</strong>: Marqeta operates a cloud-based open application programming interface platform that delivers card issuing and transaction processing services.</p>
  306. <p>The <em>Marqeta</em> class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Marqeta understated the regulatory challenges affecting its business outlook; and (ii) as a result, Marqeta would have to cut its guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024.</p>
  307. <p>The <em>Marqeta </em>class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 4, 2024, Marqeta revealed fourth quarter 2024 guidance of 10-12% net revenue growth and 13-15% gross profit growth, as opposed to the previously projected 16-18% net revenue growth and 22-24% gross profit growth figures, which “reflects several changes that became apparent over the last few months with regards to the heightened scrutiny of the banking environment and specific customer program changes.” On this news, the price of Marqeta stock fell more than 42%, according to the complaint.</p>
  308. <p><strong>THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS</strong>: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Marqeta securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the <em>Marqeta </em>class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the <em>Marqeta </em>class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the <em>Marqeta </em>class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the<em> Marqeta </em>class action lawsuit.</p>
