The indictment alleges that the Canadians, along with five Americans, ran a massive “pump and dump” operation that involved using social media, emails and news releases to inflate worthless shares of companies, then selling them to investors.

U.S. authorities also allege that the ring hit their victims a second time, convincing them to sell their shares or join class action lawsuits, but only after they paid upfront fees or taxes. In some instances, members of the ring pretended to work for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, according to the charges.
