Levi & Korsinsky Alerts Block, Inc. Investors
In a significant development, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has notified shareholders of Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) regarding a class action securities lawsuit. Encompassing a critical timeframe from February 26, 2020, to April 30, 2024, the lawsuit aims to recuperate losses for investors adversely impacted by alleged securities fraud associated with the company.
Background of the Class Action
The dismissal of various allegations has created a climate of uncertainty for Block's investors. The filed complaint suggests that the defendants made numerous false assertions or failed to disclose essential facts about the company’s operations. Specifically, it is claimed that Block experienced extensive compliance failures across its platforms, Square and Cash App. Such failures included a lack of due diligence in verifying customer identities and transactions, which allegedly allowed the platforms to become channels for illegal activities.
The details of the allegations include serious charges relating to money laundering, sex trafficking, and terrorism financing. The complaint contends that Block inadequately controlled its platforms, thereby allowing customers to engage in various illicit activities with minimal scrutiny. Reports suggested that the company actively encouraged the use of cryptocurrency, exerting pressure on banking partners to bypass essential customer verification processes.
Additionally, the complaint alleges that customers could easily open multiple accounts using fraudulent identities, further compounding the compliance issues. Despite indications of a problematic operating environment and multiple internal reports of compliance-related deficiencies, Block's senior management seemingly overlooked these red flags.
