What White Diamond Research Claimed
White Diamond Research published its report on June 10. The report stated that SEGG Media was not a real operating business.
It claimed the company only announces projects to attract stock buyers. The report also said SEGG Media had issued at least 12 press releases in 2025 for ventures that never came together.
These included a claimed Lottery.com relaunch in Mexico and a $14 million deal tied to David Lloyd. The report also questioned a Sports.com “Super App” that it said was never built.
White Diamond Research said it reported SEGG Media to the Securities and Exchange Commission. It called the company’s announcements a pattern of scam press releases.
The report also doubted SEGG Media’s partnership with Polymarket. It argued the deal would not produce a working product before the 2026 World Cup.
SEGG Media’s Response
Robert Stubblefield, the company’s CFO and interim CEO, defended SEGG Media’s record. He said healthy debate among investors is normal in public markets.
He added that some statements in the report went beyond opinion. He called them false representations of fact.
SEGG Media pointed to its acquisition of a controlling stake in Veloce Media Group. The company described Veloce as a sports and esports business with existing revenue.
It also said Sports.com Predict launched on June 10, 2026. This matches the date White Diamond Research’s report was published.
SEGG Media said this timing shows its projects are real and on schedule. The company asked investors to judge it by signed agreements rather than outside speculation.
The company also addressed older legal and regulatory issues mentioned in the report. It said those matters involved former executives no longer with the company.
Current leadership says it has improved governance and worked with federal regulators. Stubblefield said the company’s main focus remains building shareholder value.
He said SEGG Media will defend itself against the claims in court. He added that the company’s results will speak for themselves over time.
SEGG Media plans to publish a public FAQ addressing the disputed claims. It also said the lawsuit will be posted on its investor relations website for shareholders to review.
