IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The lawsuit focuses on IonQ's statements about its 32-qubit machine which the company claims is "the world's most powerful quantum computer." IonQ's representations allowed the company to go public through a SPAC-merger in late Sept. 2021.
Specifically, the complaint alleges Defendants misrepresented and omitted that: (1) IonQ had not yet developed a 32-qubit quantum computer; (2) the company's 11-qubit quantum computer suffered from significant error rates, rendering it useless; (3) IonQ's quantum computer is not sufficiently reliable, so it is not accessible despite being available through major cloud providers; and, (4) a significant portion of IonQ's revenue was derived from improper round-tripping transactions with related parties.
The truth emerged on May 3, 2022, when activist short-seller Scorpion Capital published a 183-page scathing report alleging the company's claims of a 32-qubit machine are a "brazen hoax," that IonQ's only actual machine is an old 11-qubit toy computer for demonstration purposes that ex-employees, leading quantum experts, and key partners "all described as primitive, useless, doomed by fatal error rates inherent to the technology, unreliable with low uptime, and so slow that a useful calculation could take 3 years," and it created the illusion of commercial momentum via sham related-party transactions.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving IonQ misrepresented the existence of- and commercial prospects for- its 32-qubit computer," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
