Here's more detail to what is happening and what you can do.

This is an important update for all shareholders harmed by the fraud at Vinco Ventures.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened two criminal cases related to the scheme that destroyed so much shareholder value:

1. United States v. Theodore Farnsworth, et al. – Case No. 22-20521-CR (S.D. Florida) - https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-vns/case/united-states-v-theodore-farnsworth-and-j-michell-lowe

2. United States v. Roderick Vanderbilt – Case No. 24-cr-20560 (S.D. Florida) - https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-vns/case/united-states-v-roderick-vanderbilt

If you lost money in BBIG, YOU are a victim—and you have the right to submit a Victim Impact Statement for both cases.
These statements matter. They can influence sentencing, restitution, and show how widespread the harm really is.

BOTH cases mention victims who were shareholders of Vinco Ventures.

1. Make sure you have sent your Victim Impact Statement (VIS)
2. Make sure you request send any questions you may have as a victim
3. Attend the hearing if you can make it. You can request a webex link or dial
