"One of the issues they had from a business standpoint was they were low on cash and so they were in pretty desperate straits financially," Friestad explained.

Friestad claimed that Ruettiger and his partners battled their financial troubles by misleading investors. They’re accused of lying to potential investors that the “Rudy” drink had outperformed and outsold Gatorade and Powerade and that major distributors had agreed to sell the drink.

..."To lead investors to believe that future sales were going to increase significantly and that was not true," Friestad said.

...Friestad described the scheme as a “pump-and-dump,” where insiders in the company used deceit and manipulative trading to raise the price of Rudy Nutrition stock.

“That’s the pump side of it,” he explained. “The dump is once they start to attracting those innocent investors the insiders or the people involved in the scheme start dumping their own stock or selling it into the market demand that they’ve created.”
