The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) SBTech (Global) Limited ("SBTech") had a history of unlawful operations; (ii) accordingly, DraftKings' merger with SBTech exposed the Company to dealings in black-market gaming; (iii) the foregoing increase the Company's regulatory and criminal risks with respect to these transactions; (iv) as a result of all the foregoing, the Company's revenues were, in part, derived from unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; (v) accordingly the benefits of the business combination dated December 22, 2019 were overstated; and (vi) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On June 15, 2021, before the market opened, Hindenburg Research published a report titled "DraftKings: A $21 Billion SPAC Betting It Can Hide Its Black Market Operations." The report alleges that one of the companies that was part of the three-way merger that took DraftKings public, SBTech, exposed DraftKings and their investors to black-market gaming, money laundering and organized crime. Hindenburg Research claimed that it had "conversations with multiple former employees, […] review[ed] SEC & international filings, and inspect[ed] back-end infrastructure at illicit international gambling websites[.]" Based on this information, the report concluded with the opinion that "DraftKings has systematically skirted the law and taken elaborate steps to obfuscate its black market operations."
On this news, DraftKings' stock price fell $2.11 per share, or 4.17%, to close at $48.51 per share on June 15, 2021.
