A securities class action has been filed in the USDC — C.D.CA. against WM Technology, Inc. (MAPS, MAPSW) (“WM” or the “Company”), on behalf of all those that purchased or otherwise acquired WM securities between May 25, 2021 and September 24, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Defendant WM Technology, Inc. describes itself as the operator of a “leading online cannabis marketplace for consumers together with a comprehensive set of eCommerce and compliance software solutions for cannabis businesses[.]”.
The claim arises on September 24, 2024, when the SEC issued a litigation release (the “Release”) in which it announced that it had “charged public company WM Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAPS), its former CEO, Christopher Beals, and its former CFO, Arden Lee, for making negligent misrepresentations in WM Technology’s public reporting of a self-described key operating metric, the “monthly active users,” or “MAU,” for WM Technology’s online cannabis marketplace.”
The complaint alleges that Defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose, among other things, that:
(1) WM Technology’s monthly average user metrics (MAUs) were severely inflated for years; and
(2) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
On this news, the price of WM Technology, Inc. common stock fell by 1.9% to close at $0.92 on September 25, 2024.
