Ritz v Genius Group Limited, Roger Hamilton and Eva Mantziou
&
Genius Group Limited v Ritz (+ Moe) - Countersuit
Peter Ritz has been caught in what appears to be a web of serious lies and evasions, forcing the court to step in and schedule an emergency hearing. Genius Group, Roger and Eva's legal team rightfully demanded that Ritz be forced back into a deposition to explain himself after uncovering major fabrications in his story.
Judge Jennifer L. Rochon recognized the urgency of the situation and immediately ordered both sides to appear for a virtual conference on June 12, 2026, to address Ritz’s highly suspicious behavior before the fast-approaching discovery deadline.
The implications of these discoveries are devastating for Ritz and completely vindicate Genius Group, Roger, and Eva.
First, it exposed that Ritz flat-out lied about his employment details; he claimed under oath that he worked out of a New York WeWork office, but official records from WeWork prove the office was evicted months before he was even hired.
Second, Ritz’s supposed "whistleblower" claim completely falls apart under scrutiny, as he attributes his data to a mysterious, nameless woman on a Zoom call whom he claims he cannot remember.
Finally, it was discovered that Ritz hid an entire separate email account from the court, strongly suggesting he is actively concealing evidence that would clear their names.
Genius Group, Roger, and Eva heavily benefit from this development, as it completely exposes the lack of credibility and integrity behind the lawsuit against them.
By uncovering these massive contradictions and hidden emails, the defense has shifted the spotlight directly onto Ritz's dishonesty, giving the opposing side tremendous leverage to potentially get this meritless case thrown out entirely.
Meanwhile, Ritz's own lawyers had to embarrassingly admit to the judge that they cannot even get their own client to answer their calls or address these serious findings.
The next step is the June 12 federal court hearing, where Judge Rochon will demand answers regarding Ritz’s evasive behavior and hidden email account. Given the undeniable proof of misconduct the opposing side has put forward, the judge is highly expected to grant the motion and force Ritz into a supplemental deposition.
There, under intense legal pressure, Ritz will be held accountable and forced to answer for his WeWork claims, his imaginary mystery source, and his hidden communications.
Prediction. If this is not solved this month, @BasileEsq will go scorched Earth and seek $20+M above the 7.4M shares and $13M awarded by ICC tribunal. Further, if LZG says they don’t have the $$$, he will seek to pierce the corporate veil to seize personal assets. The ICC case proved Genius was induced by these criminals and full rescission of the asset purchase agreement was ordered plus $13M. Further, the SDNY took false information via King & Spalding via their defendants that caused severe damage to the company. King & Spalding should be used to testify against the criminals to avoid sanctions on their firm or be brought in.
The message is clear. NO MORE BS! TIME IS UP!

$GNS [UPDATE]
Ritz v Genius Group Limited, Roger Hamilton and Eva Mantziou
&
Genius Group Limited v Ritz (+ Moe) - Countersuit
This filing is a formal letter to a judge from the lawyers representing Genius Group and its executives, Hamilton and Manziou. They are asking the judge to force the person suing them, Ritz (the Plaintiff), to sit down for a second official deposition under oath. The deadline to collect evidence is almost over, and the company says they just found proof that Ritz might not be telling the truth.
Specifically, official records from WeWork show he never actually worked at the New York office he claimed to use. The company also found out he had a secret second email address that was never checked for evidence, and they say he cannot remember the name of the mystery woman on Zoom who supposedly gave him his "whistleblower" information in the first place.
This is a massive blow to Ritz’s case. In a whistleblower lawsuit, everything depends on whether the judge and jury can trust the person speaking up. By showing that WeWork records completely contradict Ritz’s story, the company is basically calling him a liar.
If the judge believes Ritz made up details about where he worked or hid an email account, his credibility will be ruined. On top of that, admitting his entire lawsuit is based on a single Zoom call with a woman whose name he cannot even remember makes his whole case look incredibly weak and shaky.
Genius Group and its executives benefit the most if the judge approves their request. Genius Group and their lawyers get another chance to question Ritz, catch him in more lies, and grill him about the hidden email address and his mystery source. Even if the judge says no, the company still wins a little bit because they have successfully made the judge doubt Ritz's honesty before the actual trial even starts.
Next, Ritz’s lawyers will write their own letter to the judge to defend him, try to explain away the WeWork mix-up, and argue that a second interview is unfair. Because the final deadline for evidence is just days away, the judge will have to make a very quick decision. If the judge sides with the company, the case will be paused so Ritz can be forced to answer these tough questions under oath.

Ritz's deception and tactics are coming back to bite him hard. This latest twist proves that no matter how deep you bury a lie, the truth will always find a way out.

$GNS [SETTLEMENT SUMMARY]
Shawn Carey et al v Michael Moe et al
(aka: LZGI shareholders v LZGI, Michael Moe and Peter Ritz)
This formal Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement completely resolves a consolidated shareholder derivative lawsuit. The legal action was originally brought by plaintiff shareholders, led by Shawn Carey, on behalf of LZG International, Inc. (LZGI) against individual corporate insiders Michael Moe and Peter Ritz for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.
To eliminate the extensive expenses, risks, and burdens associated with ongoing litigation, all involved parties have agreed to a global release of claims. Under the terms of this agreement, the defendants do not admit any liability or corporate wrongdoing.
The core financial and structural terms of the settlement require substantial concessions from the defendants. Moe and Ritz have agreed to pay a total of $2,500,000 into an escrow account. From this fund, $1,900,000 is allocated to pay the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses (AXS Law Group), while the remaining $600,000 will be paid directly into the corporate treasury of LZGI.
Additionally, the defendants must permanently surrender 50% of all LZGI stock they beneficially own back to the company for cancellation, which reduces their ownership control and prevents further dilution for remaining shareholders. In exchange, the plaintiffs agree to lift and vacate a prior default that had been entered against the defendants by the court.
Because LZGI currently has no active business operations and no revenue, the settlement mandates sweeping corporate governance reforms, severe financial transparency, and an accounting of the company's debts. The company's board must file a complete Statement of Liabilities and issue a formal Shareholder Update through the SEC. This update will evaluate strategic future options for the entity, including potential dissolution, bankruptcy, or winding down. Should the company survive and continue operations, they are required to implement stricter governance measures, such as recruiting independent directors and establishing formal ethics committees.
The extensive financial toll of this legal battle is highlighted by the massive liabilities accumulated by both sides during the dispute. While the plaintiffs racked up roughly $1.9 million in legal fees and expenses to be covered by the escrow fund, the defendants incurred over $3.36 million in separate liabilities just defending themselves up to this point. Furthermore, a detailed shareholder list from the transfer agent is appended to the agreement, mapping out the distribution of restricted and unrestricted shares as the company addresses its outstanding obligations.
Once the presiding judge, the Honorable Lisa M. Walsh, grants final approval, the settlement will provide a global release of all claims. Both sides will be permanently barred from suing each other over these past issues, and the lawsuit will be dismissed "with prejudice," meaning it is permanently closed and cannot be refiled. Current LZGI stockholders will be notified of the agreement via an approved template notice, granting them the legal right to submit written objections to the court if they believe the settlement terms or the handling of corporate liabilities are inadequate.

The info was great and all but it seems that @rogerhamilton is a little disconnected from what the shareholders were hoping for. $GNS could definitely have not done this call and been better off. Not sure how it was “worth the wait” but oh well I guess I’ll keep averaging down 😩
@rogerhamilton
Investor Call was great!
Thank you for explaining the partnerships with many great companies and the investments you're pursuing.
I'll stay with GNS until the day it stands at the top alongside great companies.

$GNS [BREAKING NEWS]
They wanted total silence. Instead, they got a total circus.
Michael Moe, Peter Ritz, and their lawyers fought to keep their settlement confidential and under seal. Then, in a stunning blunder, the agreement was officially filed and made public for the world to see.
JUSTICE PREVAILS! Details are coming soon.
$GNS [IMPORTANT ACCOUNCEMENT]
Sealed Settlement by LZGI International, Michael Moe, and Peter Ritz Allegedly Used to Conceal Assets and Block Genius Group’s Recovery of Financial Awards
The recent sealed settlement between LZGI shareholders and LZGI corporate is actually a strategic trap designed to cut Genius Group out of a financial recovery. Genius Group won a sweeping and binding ICC arbitration award against LZGI, Moe, and Ritz. However, instead of paying Genius Group, Moe and Ritz may be rushing into a separate, secret settlement filing this agreement under seal, they are hiding the details from public view, allowing them to legally redirect or deplete funds before Genius Group can step in and seize them.
This settlement lets the opposing parties off too easy and that Genius Group must instead fight for a formal court judgment. While an arbitration award says you are owed money, a court judgment provides the aggressive legal teeth needed to freeze bank accounts and forcefully seize assets. Without this, Genius Group faces the very real risk of winning the legal battle but losing the financial war, as the opposing parties, LZGI, Moe and Ritz could successfully empty their pockets and leave Genius Group holding a valuable piece of paper with no actual money left to collect.
For Genius Group, the implications of this maneuver are highly concerning. Operating in a financial blind spot makes it impossible for leadership to accurately project cash flows or recovery timelines. Furthermore, fighting this "end around" will require immediate, aggressive action from Genius Group's legal team such as filing emergency motions to unseal the documents which will inevitably drive up legal expenses. Finally, for a publicly traded company, prolonged secrecy and the threat of a hard-won financial victory.

It’s also important to note, company has active $250M manipulation case versus Citadel and Virtu ongoing in SDNY and $750M RICO case in FL while Shareintel is tracking every trade with legal team. If NYSE American, DTCC, FINRA or SEC enforcement are not doing what they should and or turning a blind eye don’t be surprised if you get subpoenaed. The Andrew Left case is one part of many.

Genius Group's CEO Upgrades His Shares to Super-Shares: Roger Hamilton Locks in Total Control
The CEO of Genius Group, Roger Hamilton, is trading 10 million of his regular shares for a special, private type of share. The big difference is that these new shares give him 10 votes per share instead of the usual 1 vote. Because these shares are now private, there are also 10 million fewer shares available for regular people to buy and sell on the stock market.
In short, this move gives the CEO massive control over the company. By turning his 10 million shares into 100 million votes, it becomes nearly impossible for regular investors to outvote him or force him out of his job.
This benefits the CEO because he can now run the company exactly how he wants without worrying about pressure from Wall Street. However, it hurts regular shareholders because their own votes now matter much less, and it removes the checks and balances that keep a leader accountable.

**No.**
$VCX (Fundrise Innovation Fund) is a NYSE-listed closed-end fund that holds direct stakes in Anthropic (~20-21% of its portfolio) and other privates. Those positions were acquired through proper institutional channels, not unapproved secondary-market trades by individuals.
Investors own VCX shares, not raw Anthropic stock, so Anthropic’s “any unapproved transfer is void” policy doesn’t void your VCX ownership the way it does direct secondary purchases on Forge/Hiive etc.
I wonder if @rogerhamilton is aware of the share discrepancies and has been slowly eliminating shares to prove just how out of whack the share count is. 10 mil taken out today-30 mil retired and drs in v stock. Could prove $GNS case of manipulation. I’m all in on this LFG!!!

$GNS [Reminder]
Genius Group Limited v. LZG International, Inc., Michael Moe, and Peter Ritz + VStock Transfer, LLC
Tomorrow's procedural directive from Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil signals a major pivot toward wrapping up this litigation, placing Genius Group in a clear position of strength.
In late April 2026, the International Chamber of Commerce issued its final award, delivering a decisive victory to Genius Group. The defendants were ordered to pay Genius Group $8.0 million in cash and return 7.4 million shares of stock. The "Petition" the judge refers to is Genius Group's formal request for the federal court to officially confirm that massive arbitration win.
This is happening because Genius Group recently won a private legal battle (arbitration) against the defendants. The defendants were ordered to pay Genius Group $8 million in cash and return 7.4 million shares of stock. Genius Group then asked the federal court to officially stamp and approve this victory.
The most likely outcome is a quick final win for Genius Group. The court will almost certainly approve the decision, turning Genius Group's victory into an official judgment. If the defendants still refuse to pay up, Genius Group will then have the legal power to aggressively go after their money and assets.
THE INVESTMENT CASE FOR AN AI TREASURY
The Company believes there are six structural advantages that set Genius Group $GNS apart from single investment vehicles or Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) investing in the rapid growth of the AI-powered economy:
Operating Company + Treasury:
Genius Group is an operating AI-powered education business with a treasury overlay, enabling the company to generate cash flow from its operations and capital growth from the tools and products it trains its students in.
Multi-Fund Flexibility:
The Company has optionality across multiple funds and vehicles at varying weights. We have the opportunity to take a rebalance constantly as our AI Treasury grows based on market trends, premium-to-NAV, redemption windows and round-allocation opportunities.
Singapore Domicile:
Singapore territorial tax system has no general capital gains tax on equity (subject to current circumstances and tax advice) and no withholding on capital appreciation, giving the Company an advantage as a treasury company.
Bitcoin Treasury:
The Company’s Board has previously approved a Bitcoin Treasury, which serves as a balance to ensure compliance with the SEC’s 40% rule.
Jewel Bank + Stablecoin:
Genius Group’s strategic stake in Bermuda's only dual-licensed digital bank, with JUSD stablecoin infrastructure GENIUS Act-compliant, gives the Company the dual benefit of a treasury and digital bank.
Public Equity Access:
We believe Genius Group is the only NYSE American-listed equity offering direct exposure to this combination. Enabling our investors to participate in the rapid growth of the AI-powered economy as both students and stakeholders.
Genius Group’s market capitalization is currently at $45 million against total assets of $137 million and net assets of $97 million for Fiscal Year 2025. As of May 26, 2026, GNS common stock is trading at a discounted multiple of 0.3x price to total assets.
This compares to publicly listed AI holding companies and funds that are trading at multiples of between 2.0x and 5.0x price to total assets.
The Company believes a repricing opportunity may exist for its investors once the value of the assets on its balance sheet are fully recognized by the market.
