Case Background:
This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Ideanomics, Inc. (“Ideanomics”) common stock between March 20, 2020 and June 25, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

According to the initial complaint, on June 25, 2020, analyst Hindenburg Research ("Hindenburg") issued a series of tweets in which it called Ideanomics “an egregious & obvious fraud.” Hindenburg asserted that it found evidence that Ideanomics had doctored photos for use in its press releases to suggest that it owns or operates a vehicle sales center in Qingdao, China, when it in fact does not. That same day, analyst J Capital Research issued a report on Ideanomics entitled “Champion of Promotes.” J Capital Research wrote, in part, that “Ideanomics . . . is a zero. The company changes its name and promotional story so frequently that it’s hard to keep up. One thing remains a constant, despite all the press releases, buzzwords and hype: shareholders get wiped out.”   

Current Status of Case:
On February 8, 2023, the Court denied Lead Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend the Complaint and dismissed the case. This action has concluded.
