According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR) November 22, 2013 and March 13, 2014 including purchasers in the Company's public offering completed on February 5, 2014,, that CytRx and certain of its officers and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

More specifically, the plaintiff claims that CytRx Corporation, its CEO, and two stock promotion firms made misleading statements and failed to disclose that numerous articles touting CytRx Corporation stock issued by the stock promotion firms were paid stock promotions and when the market began to learn of the true facts through partial disclosures, the value of CytRx stock dropped damaging investors.

Then on March 13, 2013 an article was published that alleged CytRx Corporation hired The DreamTeam Group to tout its stock. According to the allegations DreamTeam Group itself then published a variety of articles, many if not all of which misleadingly omitted to disclose that DreamTeam Group was paid by CytRx Corporation to promote it and that several of the articles were also falsely attributed to various third parties.
