- Lawsuit was launched against Argo and many of its top executives and board members.
- The investors contend that the miner’s financial prospects were exaggerated.
In a class action lawsuit filed, investors in Crypto kalnakasys „Argo Blockchain“ claimed the company misled them during the IPO by making false representations and withholding key facts.
On January 26, a lawsuit was filed against Argo and many of its top executives and board members. It asserts the company concealed its vulnerability to cash flow issues, high energy bills, and infrastructure challenges.
The lawsuit read:
„Siūlymo dokumentai buvo parengti aplaidžiai ir dėl to juose buvo pateikti tikrovės neatitinkantys esminių faktų teiginiai arba nebuvo nurodyti kiti faktai, būtini, kad teiginiai nebūtų klaidinantys.
Shares Price Plummeted
The investors contend that this means the miner’s financial prospects were exaggerated since the firm is “less sustainable” than they were led to expect.
The complaint mentioned:
„Jei [investuotojai] būtų žinoję tiesą, jie nebūtų pirkę ar kitaip įsigiję minėtų vertybinių popierių arba nebūtų pirkę ar kitaip įsigiję jų už išpūstas kainas, kurios buvo sumokėtos.
On September 23, 2021, Argo disclosed the data in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEK) for its first public offering (IPO).
On the same day, at an offering price of $15 per share, 7.5 million shares were sold to the public, bringing in $105 million before fees and costs. Shares of the mining company have taken a pounding since then, dropping to a low of $0.36 and now trading at $1.96.
In order to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a business must have a closing bid price of at least $1 for 10 consecutive trading days, a requirement that Argo fulfilled as recently as January 23.
