The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of those who acquired Tingo Group, Inc. (“Tingo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TIO) securities during the period from December 1, 2022 through June 6, 2023 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until August 9, 2023 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Tingo Group, Inc. operates as a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, and sells mobile computing solutions.
On June 6, 2023, Hindenburg Research issued a report charging that Tingo was a fraud with fabricated business operations and financials. According to the Hindenburg Report, Tingo’s statements about the successful operations of its various business segments, including Tingo Foods, Tingo Mobile, Nwassa, and Tingo DMCC were false. The Hindenburg Report concluded that “Tingo is a brazen fraud that should serve as a humiliating embarrassment for all involved.” On this news, the price of Tingo shares declined by $ per share, or approximately %, from $ per share to close at $ on June 6, 2023.
