After the SEC alleged possible securities law violations and the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Florida opened investigations, the company experienced a liquidity crisis and determined to modify its corporate governance structure by appointing a new independent manager and a CRO. Two members of DSI were appointed as the CRO and Deputy CRO to manage the business, plan and implement a strategy to maximize assets values, implement overhead reductions, all while in contact with and providing information to the SEC, U.S. Attorney and select state authorities who are conducting ongoing investigations.
