The story

Fuqi was founded in 2001 and had its IPO in 2007. As of December 31, 2008 (the date of its last 10-K SEC filing), Fuqi had 69 jewelry retail counters and stores in China and approximately 950 employees. 97% of its revenue came from wholesale jewelry sales.

On March 29, 2011, Fuqi was de-listed from NASDAQ and has been trading on OTC Pink since.

Class action lawsuit

On March 17, 2010, FUQI's shares declined more than 35% overnight,

following an announcement of the company's accounting errors and internal control deficiencies, to close at $11.90 per share, on trading volume 20 times the usual.

Several class action lawsuits were filed in April, with a consolidated class action complaint filed on Feb 15, 2011, by ABRAHAM, FRUCHTER & TWERSICY, LLP.
