(Reuters) - Shares of Eastman Kodak Co (KODK.N) fell about 40% on Monday and were on track for their worst single-day decline after the U.S. government blocked a $765 million loan to the company, which was going to make drug ingredients for use in possible COVID-19 vaccines, because of alleged wrongdoing by executives.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corp (DFC) was slated to grant the loan to Eastman Kodak, which is looking to move deeper into the pharmaceutical arena.

But alarms were raised after senior Democratic lawmakers asked federal regulators to investigate securities transactions made by the company and its executives around the time it learned it could receive the government loan.

U.S. President Donald Trump said last week the government would investigate the circumstances surrounding the announcement of the loan.

Recent allegations of wrongdoing raise serious concerns, U.S. International Development Finance Corp (DFC) said late on Friday in a tweet.

The companys shares have soared more than five-fold, with retail traders on the popular Robinhood trading app piling into the stock since DFC announced it would sign a letter of interest to provide the loan to the company.


Say it with me, everyone: pump and dump!

It would be considered insider trading if the shares were purchased by people who knew the information before it was publicly released.

We don't, but that's what the suspicion is about, which is why an investigation is taking place.

I misunderstood - I thought the investigation was something unrelated.

This. Iirc they developed digital photography back in 60s for US spy satellites, but didnt want to develop it for commercial use as they were worried about film business. Fucking idiots, company deserves to die.

I figured it had to be some inside BS as soon as it happened, but it probably went far more public than they anticipated which meant it got a larger spotlight than they wanted.

I mean we dont know explicitly, but given that the trading volume for the stock went up over twenty fold the day before the deal was announced, I think its more than fair to speculate.

The film business folded. They have moved on to digital like every other manufacturer.

Yeah. I thought people here were referencing the fact that the stock tumbled after publicly announced information went out as 'insider trading'. I didn't read what the investigation was about when I posted first. They done goofed but not surprising for a company like kodak.

A bunch of local news pieces came out about the loan that day so that led to the spike in volume before they were taken down.

And as a public company you should have had a time restriction for when that can be released so they probably have some issue that will be exposed because of that.
