On August 3, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it had charged Live Ventures, along with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with multiple financial, disclosure, and reporting violations related to inflated income and earnings per share, stock promotion and secret trading, and undisclosed executive compensation. Specifically, the SEC alleged that Live Ventures had recorded income from a backdated contract, which increased pre-tax income for fiscal 2016 by 20%, and understated its outstanding share count, which overstated earnings per share by 40%.

On this news, Live Ventures stock price fell $30.20 per share, or 47.41%, to close at $33.50 per share on August 4, 2021.
