Advaxis Inc. (ADXS)

Advaxis is making its investors sick today, down 25.51% to $8.76. The cancer immunotherapy company saw its shares fall after news that the law firm, Wohl & Fruchter LLP, announced it was investigating the company for possible violations of federal securities laws by officers and directors. According to an article, Advaxis misrepresented the tumor response data for its ADXS-HPV compound, thereby overstating the effectiveness of the compound in shrinking tumors. Shares of the company fell $3.00 today, as investors are scared of the possible truth and repercussions behind the investigation.
