On March 22, 2018 Defendants announced LongFin joined the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices.
Then, on March 23, 2018 a contributor to SeekingAlpha published his conclusion that LongFin shares rose because it was probably mistakenly added to the Russell indices.
Then, on March 26, 2018, Bloomberg reported an analyst stated Longfin’s SEC filings and press releases are riddled with fraud. That same day, Russell announced it removed LongFin from its indices.
By April 2, 2018, the Company reported serious weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. These include (a) lacking qualified personnel who fully understand accounting rules, (b) no formal or documented accounting policies and procedures, and (c) no formal review process around accounting journal entries recorded.
Between March 23, 2018 and April 2, 2018 the price of LongFin shares dropped $56.79 to close at $14.31 on April 2, 2018 – a loss of about 80%.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses, Longfin’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning its purported blockchain business model, and whether Defendants engaged in accounting fraud,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
