RCI Hospitality Shares Swing Wildly Following Raid Allegations From Short Report: What Investors Should Know
Shares of RCI Hospitality Holdings (NASDAQ:RICK) fell on Thursday before rebounding Friday on above average volume. The increase in trading comes with allegations shared by Bear Cave Research's Edwin Dorsey.
RCI Hospitality Holdings（納斯達克股票代碼：RICK）的股價週四下跌，週五因交易量高於平均水平而反彈。交易量的增加伴隨着Bear Cave Research的埃德溫·多爾西的共同指控。
What Happened: The owner of nightclubs, gentlemen's clubs and sports bar restaurants is facing increased interest from investors after Dorsey published an update on the company Thursday.
發生了什麼：在多爾西周四發佈公司最新消息後，夜總會、紳士俱樂部和體育酒吧餐廳的老闆面臨着投資者越來越多的興趣。
"Today's special investigation is our shortest ever. The primary evidence is one photo taken from a public sidewalk last night," Dorsey wrote.
“今天的特別調查是我們有史以來最短的調查。主要證據是昨晚在公共人行道上拍攝的一張照片，” 多爾西寫道。
The photo shared is alleged to show that Rick's NYC location was raided on Wednesday night. Bear Cave alleges that other RCI Hospitality locations may have also been raided during the week.
據稱，分享的照片顯示裏克在紐約的所在地在週三晚上遭到襲擊。Bear Cave聲稱，本週RCI Hospitality的其他地點也可能遭到襲擊。
"Numerous law enforcement agents were both outside and within public view inside of Rick's property, although there did not appear to be any emergency or emergency vehicles in the area. The Rick's location also indicated it was closed for the entire night," Dorsey wrote.
“儘管該地區似乎沒有任何應急或應急車輛，但許多執法人員在裏克的房產外面和公衆視野之內。裏克的位置還表明它整晚都關門了，” 多爾西寫道。
Dorsey also said that RCI's CEO Eric Langan (@RicksCEO on X) had not tweeted since May 16, marking his longest X break over the last year. Langan has tweeted since the report was published.
多爾西還表示，RCI首席執行官埃裏克·蘭根（@RicksCEO on X）自5月16日以來一直沒有發過推文，這是他去年最長的X休息時間。自報告發布以來，蘭根一直在發推文。
In the report, Dorsey said RCI Hospitality should disclose to investors if there was a raid, how many locations were raided and why law enforcement was at its properties.
多爾西在報告中表示，RCI Hospitality應向投資者披露是否遭到襲擊，有多少地點遭到襲擊，以及執法部門爲何對其物業進行檢查。
Dorsey reached out to Langan and Mark Moran, whose Equity Animal has handled external investor relations for the company. Other than getting insulted by Moran, Dorsey did not publicly hear back from either individual.
多爾西聯繫了蘭根和馬克·莫蘭，他們的Equity Animal曾爲該公司處理外部投資者關係。除了受到莫蘭的侮辱外，多爾西沒有公開收到任何人的回覆。
A tweet from Dorsey lays out the alleged timeline of several raids at multiple locations. Dorsey has also been sharing accounts from employees of company locations that were shared on the r/Stripper subreddit.
來自多爾西的一條推文列出了據稱在多個地點進行幾次襲擊的時間表。多爾西還一直在分享公司所在地員工的賬戶，這些賬戶是在r/Stripper subreddit上共享的。
