NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, is notifying investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Canaan, Inc. (“Canaan” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CAN), and certain other defendants, related to alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you purchased Canaan American Depository Shares (“ADS”) issued in connection with the Company’s November 20, 2019 initial public offering (“IPO”), and have suffered a significant loss, actual or retained, you are encouraged to contact Jonathan Zimmerman for additional information at (888) 398-9312 or jzimmerman@scott-scott.com.
The lawsuit, which has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, alleges that Canaan, and the other named defendants, made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a purported “strategic cooperation” agreement with Hangzhou Grandshores Weicheng Technology Co., Ltd was actually a transaction with a related party; (2) the Company’s financial health was worse than what was actually reported; (3) the Company had recently removed numerous distributors from its website just prior to the IPO, many of which were small or suspicious businesses; and (4) several of the Company’s largest Chinese clients in prior years were clients who were not in the Bitcoin mining industry and, thus, would likely not be repeat customers.
According to the lawsuit, when the true details reached the market, Canaan’s ADSs fell over 6.8%, closing at $5.32 per ADS on February 20, 2020.
