Now the interesting thing is, the Diana/Kalani connection is not new. Splash 24/7 themselves had a story back in March:
Diana Containerships Raising $150m With Kalani Investments Deal

And somebody at Seeking Alpha was keeping track as well. In July: "Diana Containerships Adopts DryShips Model (Kalani); Reverse Split Again" and again in August: "DryShips, TOP Ships, Diana Containerships And Kalani"


So I have to assume the lawyers were napping.
However...once the hounds start baying: A couple hours after:
DIANA CONTAINERSHIPS INVESTOR ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $50,000 Investing In Diana Containerships, Inc. To Contact The Firm

We got:
Oct. 23 
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Suit against Diana Containerships Inc.

And probably more today.
