Why would their stock ticket show anything not related to the financials of the stock?

This person is claiming that the NASDAQ listing proves that they've changed their name. Yet the link itself clearly says "Long Island Iced Tea Corp", not "Long Blockchain".

So, it would show it, because it shows the company name. And the company name is not "Long Blockchain", so the link proves nothing and the gp is full of shit.

The price spiked after the press release announcing the name change. The press release caused a real spike.

It seems far more likely that the name change hasn't been made formal, or if it has, it hasn't trickled into Yahoo's database yet. The press release says:

> The Company intends to request Nasdaq to change its trading symbol in connection with the name change.

It's an intention. It hasn't formally happened yet.

No, I'm not.

I am claiming the spike did happen, which means even if the press release is a fake, people were happy to spike a company's value massively just on a name change that mentioned the blockchain.
