According to the complaint, on April 27, 2018, 500.com issued its Annual Report on Form 20-F attesting to the Company's disclosure of all fraud and stating in pertinent part that its "employees have an obligation to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company's operations" including "[t]he Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [which] prohibits the Company and its employees and agents from offering or giving money or any other item of value to win or retain business."
