According to a recently filed complaint, Lightspeed misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that the Company:
- overstated its pre-IPO customer count by 85%;
- (ii) overstated its pre-IPO gross transaction volume– a payment volume metric that a former employee describes as “smoke and mirrors” – by 10%;
- (iii) concealed declining organic growth and ongoing business deterioration; and
- (vi) had been operating the Company with defective internal controls and ineffective oversight of its accounting practices by its outside audit firm.
When Spruce Point Capital published a report revealing the truth about Lightspeed’s finances and prospects, shares fell precipitously.
