On August 9, 2022, WM Technology disclosed it had received an internal complaint concerning the calculation and reporting of Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”). The Company revealed that a significant portion of its MAU growth was driven by pop-under ads. The Company also acknowledged that most users from these ads left the site without interacting further.
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $0.87 or 25.1%, to close at $2.59 per share on August 10, 2022, thereby injuring investors.
Then on September 24, 2024, the SEC announced it had charged the Company, the Company’s former CEO Christopher Beals, and the Company’s former CFO Arden Lee for “making negligent misrepresentations in WM Technology’s public reporting of a self-described key operating metric, the “monthly active users,” or “MAU,” for WM Technology’s online cannabis marketplace.” The SEC further announced it had “instituted a related settled administrative proceeding against WM Technology” and “WM Technology also agreed to pay a civil penalty of $1,500,000.”
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $0.02 or 1.89%, to close at $0.92 per share on September 25, 2024, thereby further injuring investors.
