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.
短賣者愛德溫·多爾西引起了一家夜總會地點的破壞性火災，紅點集團控股公司(NASDAQ:RCI Hospitality Holdings)的股票在週三中午下跌。 多爾西曾先前聲稱該公司的休斯敦辦事處和紐約地點遭到執法突擊檢查。
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.
發生了什麼：據《星電報》報道，在德克薩斯州沃思堡市，RCI旗下的Baby Dolls俱樂部發生火災。建築物似乎被毀或嚴重受損。多爾西是The Bear Cave的一名作者，週三下午他在X上發帖稱該公司是“不具投資價值的”，同時重申了他在5月份的突擊檢查指控。
"How is $RICK up on the day after their Baby Dolls club in Forth Worth, Texas burned down this morning (no casualties)," Dorsey said. Its share price quickly reversed.
多爾西說:"$RICk今天BabyDolls俱樂部發生火災（無人員傷亡）後，爲什麼股價上漲"。 其股價很快出現反轉。
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.
多爾西在5月份聲稱警方在休斯敦和紐約市突擊檢查了RCI Hospitality酒店，引用了警察在場地外的照片證據和匿名在Reddit上的評論。
Benzinga has contacted RCI Hospitality for comment on the fire and Dorsey's allegations.

"$RICK is uninvestable because the company still hasn't disclosed why law enforcement raided its headquarters and numerous clubs six weeks ago," Dorsey posted on Wednesday.
多爾西周三發文稱:"$RICk不具投資價值，因爲該公司仍未披露爲什麼執法部門在六週前突擊檢查其總部和衆多俱樂部"。
The Houston-based company's portfolio includes subsidiaries that own over 60 nightclubs and sports bar restaurants in the United States, according to RCI's website. The company has locations in cities such as New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis, Charlotte and Pittsburgh.
