ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCMKTS:CIIX) Files An 8-K Bankruptcy or Receivership
Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership
On June 18, 2020, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, case no. 2:20-bk-15501-ER. The Court took jurisdiction over the Company’s operations effective June 18, 2020, the date the petition was filed.
By order entered in court on January 21, 2021, Judge Robles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, over the opposition of the Company, converted the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization to a Chapter 7 liquidation.
Further, Judge Robles replaced the Company’s management, who had been operating the Company as debtor in possession, with a bankruptcy trustee, to be named. The trustee will be charged with liquidating rather than reorganizing the Company and its corporate structure.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
Trading Securities
The Company’s common stock has been trading on the over-the-counter market since the Company filed its reorganization petition on June 18, 2020. The Company warned at that time that acquiring the Company’s loans or trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the reorganization is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. At this time any potential investor must be aware that the Company will be liquidated and the prospect of recovery from the Company by equity investors is extremely unlikely.
