The commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities,” Vanessa Countryman, the secretary of the SEC, wrote in the commission’s order.

Some activity appears to have been orchestrated via social media platform Twitter, where clusters of day trader accounts tagging the SpectraScience ticker symbol — SCIE — spoke in bombastic terms about the stock and their recent investments as they discussed so-called ‘penny plays’.

One account under the name Alexander Delarge, which had amassed around 50,000 followers, tweeted a post encouraging users in late January to buy the stock, adding that it was likely to go to $1.

“Ill be buying a million shares at a Dollar showing my buy order to keep it going! As we all should!” the user wrote.

Among later tweets by the same account, one showed a screenshot of a portfolio of 5.5m SpectraScience shares saying it had gained 50 per cent in one day, adding: “Let the haters watch when this blasts off!”

Another highly-followed day trader account by the name of Canadian Jennifer, also joined the chorus in early February. “Yes I bought more! I’m not telling you to buy it. I’m just posting what I SEE and that I’m holding. When my instincts kick in I listen,” the user wrote
