About The Basile Law Firm P.C.

 

Mr. Basile, a former law professor, has battled dilution funding for the last 8 years. In 2021, his firm secured a landmark decision against a dilution funder that has set the standard to save hundreds of public companies’ tens of millions of dollars. Since that decision, his firm has vacated several federal trial court judgments and consequently many of the dilution funders have not filed suits against public companies in the last 18 months.

 

His firm is also pursuing several RICO actions against known dilution funders for the collection of unlawful debt and because of his actions, the Southern District of New York recently denied a toxic dilution funders’ motion to dismiss RICO claims. The firm has also published articles and advice for companies that believe they may be victims of unlawful dilution, counterfeit shares and market manipulation by brokers, investment relation firms and short-sellers, a summary of which can be found at: https://www.thebasilelawfirm.com/blog
