Well, try this. From the complaint:

14 15. The press release submitted by defendants falsely stated that a company
15 called "Webnode" had been granted a government contract to raise money for the Next
16 Generation Internet ("NGI") by selling "nodes" on the NGI, and solicited investment in the
17 project.

The phrases "fraudulent solicitation for investment" and "fraudulent investment solicitation scheme" are used many many more times.

From the Webnode site:

Seeking to own a piece of Webnode, the company? Investors are encouraged to let us know their level of interest for potential shares in our upcoming Private Placement. (Note: this is not a solicitation; shares extremely limited; consult a qualified financial advisor).
