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.”

Mullen Now Gets Saved From Delisting by Nasdaq

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has now been saved from delisting by Nasdaq according to the company’s latest announcement.

Nasdaq Hearings Panel has granted Mullen’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following conditions:

  1. on or before Jan. 22, 2024, the Company must demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), by maintaining a closing bid price of $1 per share for 20 consecutive trading sessions; and
  2. on or before March 8, 2024, the Company must demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5620(a) by holding an annual shareholder meeting.

“While the Company held an annual meeting on Aug. 3, 2023, and the proposals that were approved at such meeting including the election of directors are, and remain, valid, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department determined that the meeting did not satisfy Listing Rule 5620(a) since the Company did not afford stockholders the opportunity to discuss Company affairs with management at the meeting.

In order to demonstrate compliance, the Company plans to hold a combined 2023 and 2024 annual meeting,” the press release stated.

“I am pleased Nasdaq gave the Company this opportunity to continue implementing its business plan.

We are diligently working to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.

Shares of the company rose more than +22% on Thursday to $0.32 following the announcement.

However, shares are down more than -38% in the past month, and more than -99% this year-to-date.

Mullen Automotive recently provided an update to shareholders on its latest short selling lawsuit against TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, and others.

The company alleges that these broker dealers engaged in a scheme to manipulate the share price of the Company’s securities and now seeks compensatory damages.

Hedge funds will now disclose which companies they sell short to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), reports the WSJ.

“Traders will get a broader look at which public companies are being targeted by short sellers under rules the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Friday as part of its response to the 2021 GameStop trading frenzy.

In a short sale, a trader bets against a stock by borrowing shares and then selling them in hopes the shares’ price will decline before the trader must return them to the lender.

In the case of GameStop, individual investors sought to create a “short squeeze” by forcing short sellers to buy stock to cover their positions, boosting share prices.”

SEC commissioners voted 3-2 on Friday to adopt two rules—one aimed at large short sellers, and the other at lenders of securities. 

“These are two opaque areas of the market, short selling and securities lending,” Gensler said.

The SEC Chair says that the changes should promote greater transparency and efficiency in the market.

Republican SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said the changes could discourage short selling and, therefore, curb the market’s ability to appropriately price assets.

“The final rule places burdensome and costly reporting requirements on investment managers instead of adjusting, consolidating, and leveraging data already collected,” said Bryan Corbett, president of the Managed Funds Association, a group of hedge funds.

Ken Griffin’s Citadel Securities is now suing the SEC over its new market transparency rules meant to keep institutions under tighter surveillance.

The hedge fund was recently fined $7 million for marking short sales as long for five years.

“Compliance with the order marking requirements of Reg SHO is a key component of regulatory efforts to curtail abusive market practices, including ‘naked’ short selling,” says Mark Cave, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.

Mullen Provides New Update on Illegal Short Selling Lawsuit

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has provided shareholders with a new update on its illegal short selling lawsuit.

The lawsuit involves TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, National Finance Services, and others.

Mullen Automotive alleges that these broker dealers engaged in a scheme to manipulate the share price of the Company’s securities and now seeks compensatory damages.

On Oct. 19, 2023, Judge Analisa Torres issued an order that directed the parties as follows:

  1. Plaintiff shall file its amended complaint by Nov. 30, 2023;
  2. The parties shall jointly file their case management plan by Dec. 15, 2023;

“We are optimistic that we will expose the wrongful conduct of the Defendants and obtain an award holding them responsible for every dollar they have wrongfully extracted from Mullen and its shareholders either from Settlement or Judgment.

We intend to move this case forward as rapidly as possible,” said Wes Christian in a statement.

Alan M. Pollack, a partner in the firm of Warshaw Burstein, who also represents Mullen made the following statement regarding the lawsuit:

“This case raises certain unique legal issues concerning how broker-dealers manipulate the marketplace and how such manipulation impacts retail investors.

Counsel will diligently work to expose defendants’ wrongdoing in order to protect the rights of Mullen and its shareholders,” he continued.

MULN stock is currently down to $0.23 on Monday, more than a -58% drop this month.

Mullen Automotive stock is also currently down more than -99% this year-to-date with the company already looking at another reverse stock split this year.

However, shareholders will need to vote on the proposal at the upcoming shareholder meeting on December 15.

“We are aggressively pursuing all remedies available to us to protect the company and our shareholders,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.

Mullen Now Plans To Effect A New Reverse Stock Split

Mullen Automotive announced on Thursday that it has filed a preliminary statement with the SEC to effect a new reverse stock split.

According to the filing, the ratio would range between 1-for-2 to 1-for-100.

However, shareholders would need to approve this proposal at the stockholder’s meeting on December 15, 2023.

“Mullen expects that the primary focus of the Board in determining whether or not to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be the ability to obtain and maintain a continued price of at least $1.00 per share of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market without effecting the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split will only be implemented if necessary to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which sets forth a minimum bid price of $1.00.

The Board will determine the final split ratio after stockholder approval and would retain the authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time or to delay or postpone it,” the press release said.

“Completion of the proposed Reverse Stock Split is subject to market and other customary conditions, including obtaining stockholder approval.

However, there are no assurances that the Reverse Stock Split will be completed, that it will result in an increased per share price or achieve its other intended effects.

The Board reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if it determines that implementing it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.”

Mullen’s CEO David Michery made no comment on the company’s new proposal to dilute shareholders.

Shares of the company are currently trading below $0.25.

MULN stock is down more than -53% in the past month and more than -99% in the past year-to-date.
