CASE ALLEGATIONS: IonQ claims to “build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems.” On or about September 30, 2021, IonQ became a public entity via a business combination with dMY Technology Group, Inc. III (“DTG”), a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC” or “blank-check company”).
The IonQ class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) IonQ had not yet developed a 32-qubit quantum computer; (ii) IonQ’s 11-qubit quantum computer suffered from significant error rates, rendering it useless; (iii) IonQ’s quantum computer is not sufficiently reliable, so it is not accessible despite being available through major cloud providers; (iv) a significant portion of IonQ’s revenue was derived from improper round-tripping transactions with related parties; and (v) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about IonQ’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On May 3, 2022, Scorpion Capital released an investigative report alleging, among other things, that IonQ is a “scam built on phony statements about nearly all key aspects of the technology and business.” It further claimed that IonQ reported “[f]ictitious ‘revenue’ via sham transactions and related-party round-tripping.” On this news, IonQ’s stock price fell approximately 9%, damaging investors.
Robbins Geller has launched a dedicated SPAC Task Force to protect investors in blank check companies and seek redress for corporate malfeasance. Comprised of experienced litigators, investigators, and forensic accountants, the SPAC Task Force is dedicated to rooting out and prosecuting fraud on behalf of injured SPAC investors.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased IonQ securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the class action lawsuit.
