SINGAPORE, June 30, 2025 — Genius Group (NYSE American: GNS), a leading education firm utilizing AI and prioritizing Bitcoin, has announced the appointment of Kevin Malone as a Board Advisor. Malone’s experience includes advising companies and investors on combating market manipulation, complemented by over 40 years of family expertise in wealth management.

Kevin Malone is the CEO and President of Malone Wealth, a Registered Investment Advisory Firm that manages investments in AI, Web3, and exponential technology companies. He also established the Malone Wealth Charitable Fund, which aims to enhance financial literacy by integrating personal finance education into the U.S. education system.

Malone is known for his advocacy for fair markets and his efforts against market manipulation. He has invested in several companies whose management teams are pursuing legal action against alleged market manipulation, including Genius Group since January 2023, when the company announced legal actions and preventative measures to protect its shareholders.

As Genius Group prepares to file its lawsuit regarding alleged market manipulation, including naked short selling and spoofing, Malone will provide his expertise and strategies to the board. He will collaborate with the company’s legal team and data analysts both before and after the filing.

According to Mr. Malone, the removal of the buy button on GameStop by multiple brokerages in 2021 resulted in millions of dollars being taken from his clients. This event motivated him to become a fiduciary dedicated to fighting market corruption, which he believes every fiduciary advisor should do.

Mr. Malone stated that he witnessed similar behavior at Quantum, where multiple brokerages removed the buy button on Genius, Quantum, and other companies. He noted that Genius has been compiling evidence for its lawsuit for 30 months and the recent actions against the company and its investors are shocking. He believes that advancements in data collection, analysis, legal precedents, and tools have improved the ability to identify and prosecute market manipulators and that now is the time to make a stand.

To demonstrate his commitment to shareholder advocacy and long-term value creation, Malone has chosen to receive his compensation for this advisory role entirely in Genius Group shares. He believes in having “skin in the game” and that taking equity aligns him with the interests of current and future shareholders. He aims to support retail investors from the $GME, $QNTM, $BBBY, $MMTLP, and $AMC communities who are advocating for transparency and accountability in the markets and is committed to supporting Genius’s legal action from within.

Genius Group CEO Roger Hamilton expressed his pleasure in welcoming Mr. Malone to the team, citing his experience and expertise, as well as his passion for education. Hamilton emphasized the alignment of Malone’s charity work with Genius Group’s mission of empowering humanity through education. He also highlighted the importance of educating company board members about potential misconduct in share trading and protective measures they can take for their shareholders. Hamilton noted that Malone has already been helpful in this area and looks forward to their collaboration.
