MULN Stock: 5 Billion Shares in Illegal Scheme Now Confirmed

Christian Attar Law Firm, who is investigating MULN stock, says approximately 5 billion shares in an illegal scheme has now been confirmed.

The firm in partnership with Warshaw Burstein, LLP, in association with forensic investigators, have concluded the magnitude of the spoofing is unprecedented, resulting in over 5 billion shares being issued at artificially deflated prices since Company’s Nasdaq debut in November 2021.

Mullen Automotive, a startup EV company, has been one of the few companies to raise awareness on the predatorial short selling practices seen in its stock.

MULN stock is currently down more than -99% this year-to-date.

On Wednesday, December 6, Mullen Automotive announced the Company has filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that UBS Securities, LLC, IMC Financial Markets and Clear Street Markets, LLC (the “Defendants”) engaged in a market manipulation scheme that violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c) and Section 9(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This lawsuit alleges that between Nov. 9, 2021, and Nov. 9, 2023, the Defendants and/or their customers used spoofing to manipulate the market price of Mullen shares.

“FINRA has characterized spoofing as an insidious form of market manipulation that undermines the transparency and integrity of the markets by distorting the true nature of supply and demand,” the company statement said.

“Spoofing involves the submission and cancellation of non-bona fide buy and sell orders that have no legitimate economic purpose and are not intended to be executed.

The actual purpose of these orders is to trick shareholders into placing their own orders at a time, price and quantity that they otherwise would not have.”

“In the 21 years our team has been prosecuting market manipulation cases against Wall Street, I believe this could be one of the largest and strongest spoofing and market manipulation cases we have handled,” said Wes Christian of Christian Attar Group.

“After working with our consulting and investigative experts, I believe the damage model could be in the billions of dollars.”

Market News Daily – Mullen Partners with NRTC Automation for New Production.

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with NRTC Automation for Class 3 assembly and production.

The Class 3 EV truck is scheduled to begin production sometime in July of this year at Mullen’s Manufacturing Center in Tunica, Mississippi.

Mullen’s manufacturing group has partnered with NRTC Automation (“NRTC”) out of Birmingham, Alabama, for Class 3 assembly line installation and integration, which includes all robotics and automation systems for vehicle production.

Recent capital expenditures in Tunica include addition of Automated Guided Vehicles to transport vehicles through assembly stations in the plant, installation of robotics, water test booth and end-of-line diagnostics.

NRTC will support Mullen’s Class 3 operation through launch and also provide ongoing support of the production as Mullen ramps up to meet the full market demand from its commercial customers.

The headcount at the Tunica facility has grown steadily in anticipation of vehicle production. Mullen recently announced the hiring of an additional 35 plant staff to support production start of the Class 3 vehicle program.

“Finalizing the infrastructure and capital assets to support the operation on time is a critical task,” said John Taylor, SVP of global manufacturing operations for Mullen Automotive. “I have been through many start-ups, and the support that we have received from NRTC to-date has been extraordinary.”

Mike Vagi, president of NRTC Automation, said, “Working with Mullen’s team from the beginning of this project, and to be a key team member responsible to bring the Mullen THREE to market is a role that we take very seriously.”

“It’s gratifying to see our Class 3 vehicle production line coming together in Tunica and even more validating to know we will have vehicles coming off the line and delivered to customers later this summer,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.

Mullen’s Commercial Manufacturing Center is located in Tunica, Mississippi, and is in close proximity to all major rail lines, interstates, Mississippi river systems, and air logistics, placing it in a primary logistical center of North America.

Global EV Technology founder Lawrence Hardge has provided shareholders with a new update on the Mullen Saudi deal.

Hardge said Mullen Automotive has a $10 billion contract with Saudi Arabia early in May via Facebook live.

“This is not what somebody said or what you heard, this is reality.

$10 billion contract with Saudi Arabia.

And more to come … Mullen and Lawrence Hardge are here to assist them, they have countries like Yemen, Israel, all of them have joined in to take this technology, and they’re going to produce it in Saudi Arabia and they’re also paying for a manufacturing plant to come to Michigan.

That’s in black and white.

So, the SEC if you’re watching, that’s already agreed upon.”

Mullen Automotive has not officially confirmed the $10bn contract with Saudi Arabia, but investors are sharing Lawrence’s latest update on the Mullen Saudi deal on social media.

“Time to shut these naysayers down.

Representatives from my team have been in Saudi since last week Friday working on binging the Saudi Deal to fruition.

I represent facts, this is my story behind it.”

Lawrence recently deleted his post which begs the question whether this was leaked or confidential information.

Market News Daily – Mullen Announces New Details on Government EV Testing.

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has announced new details about the government EV testing project initiated back in April of this year.

The $680,000 contract was previously awarded by the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., to EV Technologies, LLC. for the purchase and installation of EMM units on Chevrolet Bolts within the D.C. city government’s vehicle fleet. 

Mullen Advanced Energy Operations (“MAEO”) is supporting EV Technologies for the execution of the contract, which started on April 24, 2023.

MAEO, which is a 51%-owned subsidiary of Mullen Automotive, is a collaboration with Global EV Technology, Inc. (“Global”).

MAEO has named Lawrence Hardge to the position of Senior Vice President of Technology.

Lawrence will be overseeing all technological aspects of the Energy Management Module (“EMM”) applications, per the latest press release by Mullen.

“We look forward to completing our installation work here in D.C., and the next steps as vehicles enter the fleet with our EMM and also future opportunities with the local and federal government agencies,” said Lawrence Hardge, CEO of EV Technologies, LLC.

“As testing and installations continue in D.C., we will provide further updates,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.

Testing and installation is planned for completion on a total of 40 vehicles over the next few weeks.

Mullen Becomes Exclusive Partner to New Federal Contractor

Mullen became an exclusive partner to a new federal contractor in early May.

The company announced today teaming up with Rapid Response Defense Systems (“RRDS”) to fast-track U.S. Federal Government opportunities for potential large-scale vehicle fleet orders.

RRDS, one of the country’s leading small business federal contractors, has executed over 2,500 federal government delivery orders since 2014.

The company currently holds a prime seat on 12 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) federal contracts with combined funding ceilings of $4 billion.

In 2021, U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh recognized RRDS as a recipient of the 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during an award ceremony at the U.S. Department of Labor.

“RRDS is all about providing solutions to the federal government,” said Mullen’s Manager of Government Sales Ronald Dixon.

“Whether its designing products to meet Department of Defense mission requirements or enhancing supply chain logistics, they have a remarkable success record.

In addition, RRDS will be a key vehicle supplier to the General Service Administration in an awarded 5-year multibillion-dollar vehicle contract.

We are focused on selling our EV products to the federal government and view this relationship as a strategic step in accomplishing that goal.”

“With the federal government’s strong interest in electrifying a growing portion of its vehicle fleet, Mullen’s commercial portfolio is very well positioned,” said RRDS SVP – Federal Fred Bouman.

Market News Daily – Mullen Provides New Business Updates to Shareholders.

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has provided new business updates to shareholders on Monday.

The company has had many positive developments throughout the first quarter and now second quarter of 2023.

While its latest 1-for-25 reverse stock split might not have been what most investors wanted, it’s bought the company time and allowed it to continue trading per Nasdaq’s dollar bid compliance.

Still, Wall Street remains skeptical of the company’s future.

New data shows the cost to borrow shares to short the stock have risen to new highs.

In late April, Mullen announced a new illegal shorting investigation regarding the high rate of FTDs as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“These steps include retaining outside counsel, which is working with Shareholder Intelligence Services LLC (“ShareIntel”) to undertake a comprehensive analysis of data derived from broker-dealers, clearing firms and other sources to provide actionable intelligence on potential market manipulation and illegal short selling.”

While the company has not announced any updates on the latest shorting investigation, they have announced new business updates to shareholders.

Below are just a few of the latest developments happening with Mullen Automotive.
