Microcap stock fraud refers to deceptive practices involving companies with very small market capitalizations, typically defined as having a total market value below \$300 million. These stocks are often traded over-the-counter (OTC) rather than on major exchanges, making them less regulated and more susceptible to manipulation and fraudulent activities.
