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（纳斯达克股票代码：RICK）的股价周四下跌，周五因交易量高于平均水平而反弹。交易量的增加伴随着Bear Cave Research的埃德温·多尔西的共同指控。
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.
发生了什么：在多尔西周四发布公司最新消息后，夜总会、绅士俱乐部和体育酒吧餐厅的老板面临着投资者越来越多的兴趣。
"Today's special investigation is our shortest ever. The primary evidence is one photo taken from a public sidewalk last night," Dorsey wrote.
“今天的特别调查是我们有史以来最短的调查。主要证据是昨晚在公共人行道上拍摄的一张照片，” 多尔西写道。
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.
据称，分享的照片显示里克在纽约的所在地在周三晚上遭到袭击。Bear Cave声称，本周RCI Hospitality的其他地点也可能遭到袭击。
"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.
“尽管该地区似乎没有任何应急或应急车辆，但许多执法人员在里克的房产外面和公众视野之内。里克的位置还表明它整晚都关门了，” 多尔西写道。
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.
多尔西还表示，RCI首席执行官埃里克·兰根（@RicksCEO on X）自5月16日以来一直没有发过推文，这是他去年最长的X休息时间。自报告发布以来，兰根一直在发推文。
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.
多尔西在报告中表示，RCI Hospitality应向投资者披露是否遭到袭击，有多少地点遭到袭击，以及执法部门为何对其物业进行检查。
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.
多尔西联系了兰根和马克·莫兰，他们的Equity Animal曾为该公司处理外部投资者关系。除了受到莫兰的侮辱外，多尔西没有公开收到任何人的回复。
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.
来自多尔西的一条推文列出了据称在多个地点进行几次袭击的时间表。多尔西还一直在分享公司所在地员工的账户，这些账户是在r/Stripper subreddit上共享的。
