Block&#8217;s inaugural product is Square, a financial services platform for small and medium-sized businesses.\u00a0 Block later launched Cash App (f\/k\/a &#8220;Square Cash&#8221;), a mobile payment service that allows users to transfer money using a mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Block <\/i>class action lawsuit <span>alleges<\/span> that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and\/or misleading statements and\/or failed to disclose that: (i) Block had engaged in widespread and years-long compliance lapses at Square and Cash App, including by failing to conduct basic due diligence regarding its customers&#8217; identities or the nature of customer transactions so as to prevent the platforms from being used for illegal or illicit activities; (ii) Block had effectively created a haven for widespread illegal and illicit activities on its Square and Cash App platforms by imposing minimal obligations on customers seeking to open accounts, transact, and deposit or withdraw funds; encouraging the use of <span>bitcoin<\/span>; and pressuring Block&#8217;s banking partners to forgo ordinary know your customer due diligence activities; (iii) thousands of transactions on Square and Cash App were made in connection with a wide variety of illegal and illicit activities, including, <i>inter alia<\/i>, money laundering, child sexual abuse, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, terrorism financing, contract killings, and illicit payments to entities and persons subject to economic sanctions; (iv) Block allowed its customers to withdraw funds even after the accounts had been flagged for potentially illegal or illicit activities; (v) Block customers could open up multiple accounts using fake identities in order to engage in illegal or illicit activities; (vi) Block&#8217;s senior leadership and the Board of Directors had failed to correct identified compliance deficiencies despite numerous red flags, internal employee reports of deficiencies, and customer complaints; (vii) Block&#8217;s Cash App user metrics had been artificially inflated through the use of fake accounts and the ability of criminals and other bad actors to open multiple accounts; and (viii) as a result of the above, Block was subject to a material, undisclosed risk of its conduct being exposed, thereby exposing Block to reputational harm, adverse regulatory actions, the loss of business activity, and adverse impacts to Block&#8217;s operations and financial results.<\/p>\n<p>On <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 23, 2023<\/span>, Hindenburg Research published a damaging expos\u00e9 on Block titled: &#8220;Block: How Inflated User Metrics and &#8216;Frictionless&#8217;
