Squitieri & Fearon LLP and Moore Kuehn PLLC File Class Action Suit Against BlockFi, Inc. founder Zac Prince, et al.

NEW YORK, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Squitieri & Fearon LLP and Moore Kuehn PLLC today filed a class action to represent stockholders of BlockFi, Inc. ("BlockFi") who purchased their BlockFi unregistered BlockFi Interest Accounts ("BIAs") between March 4, 2019 and November 10, 2022 (the "Class Period").

This class action was filed in the District of New Jersey captioned Trey Greene, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Zac Prince, et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-01165 ("the BlockFi action").

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased BIAs during the Class Period to seek lead plaintiff in the BlockFi class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the BlockFi action.

The lead plaintiff can select their law firm to litigate the BlockFi action. An investor's ability to share in potential future recovery of the BlockFi action is independent upon serving as lead plaintiff. If you seek lead plaintiff in the BlockFi action, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from February 28, 2023. If you wish to discuss the BlockFi action or have questions concerning this notice, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Lee Squitieri of Squitieri & Fearon LLP at (212) 421-6492 or via e-mail at [email protected] or Fletcher Moore of Moore Kuehn PLLC at (212) 709-8245 or via e-mail at [email protected]

The BlockFi action charges BlockFi officers with violations of securities laws. The complaint alleges class members were sold unregistered securities by the crypto company BlockFi, Inc., a company controlled by Defendants Zac Prince, Flori Marquez, Tony Laura, and Jennifer Hill (collectively "BFI Defendants"). The unregistered securities sold by the BFI Defendants were marketed and sold via misrepresentations and material omissions over several years and through intermittent misrepresentations by Defendant Gemini Trading LLC.

Prince's and Marquez's misrepresentations about BlockFi started to unravel when, among other things, California's financial regulator revoked BlockFi's lending license for failure to comply with California loan underwriting standards concerning the creditworthiness of borrowers and their ability to repay loans. Thereafter, additional disclosures established the extent and materiality of Prince and Marquez' misrepresentations during the Class Period.
