Date:1/18/2008

Hagens Berman suit claims company insiders knowingly misrepresented the

Additional claims made to both U.S. and German investors included "CellCyte shares could be the chance of your lifetime to turn $10,000 into $4 million, maybe even $15 million!" In addition to money making promises Reys' background was also touted in promotional materials, the complaint states.
