Amaya Gaming was the darling of the gaming world in 2014.

The little-known Canadian B2B gaming company became an overnight sensation when it purchased PokerStars and all of its assets this past summer, a remarkable $45 billion deal orchestrated by company CEO David Baazov.

In the lead up to the sale, and in the aftermath, Amaya stock was a hot commodity – volcano/supernova/surface of the sun hot – as the price went from $7 to $35. And when a stock sees that type of increase in just a few short months it usually draws the watchful eyes of regulators, which is precisely what happened to Amaya Gaming and the companies that helped finance the sale.

Amaya saw its stock price tumble following the investigation by Quebec security regulators, who intimated they were investigating potential trading shenanigans that may have taken place during the lead up to the sale of PokerStars to Amaya Gaming.
