RCI Hospitality Shares Fall After Adult Entertainment Club Fire: Short Seller Calls Company 'Uninvestable'
RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:RICK) shares fell midday Wednesday after short seller Edwin Dorsey brought attention to a destructive fire at a nightclub location. Dorsey previously alleged law enforcement raids at the company's Houston office and a New York location.
周三中午，RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc（纳斯达克股票代码：RICK）股价下跌，此前卖空者埃德温·多尔西提请注意一家夜总会发生的破坏性火灾。多尔西此前曾指控执法部门对该公司在休斯敦的办公室和纽约的一处地点进行了突击搜查。
What Happened: A fire broke out at RCI's Baby Dolls club in Fort Worth, Texas, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The building appears to be destroyed or heavily damaged. Dorsey, an author at The Bear Cave, called the company "uninvestable" in a Wednesday afternoon post on X, also echoing his allegations of raids in May.

"How is $RICK up on the day after their Baby Dolls club in Forth Worth, Texas burned down this morning (no casualties)," Dorsey said. Its share price quickly reversed.
多尔西说：“今天早上他们在德克萨斯州福斯沃思的Baby Dolls俱乐部被烧毁（没有人员伤亡）的第二天，$Rick的涨势如何。”其股价迅速逆转。
In May, Dorsey alleged that RCI Hospitality properties were raided by police in Houston and New York City, citing apparent photo evidence of officers outside locations and anonymous comments on Reddit.

The company has locations in cities such as New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis, Charlotte and Pittsburgh.
