Park Ha Biological Technology Faces Pump-and-Dump Lawsuit

Summarized from PR Newswire

Pomerantz Law Firm filed a class action against BYAH over alleged social media manipulation that inflated the stock after its IPO.

If you bought shares of Park Ha Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: BYAH) and watched your investment crater, you're not alone — and there may be legal recourse worth knowing about. Pomerantz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against the company on behalf of investors who took losses, and the clock is ticking on a key deadline.
