Ideanomics is a global company focused on facilitating the adoption of commercial electric vehicles ("EV") and developing next generation financial services and Fintech products.  On March 20, 2020, Ideanomics issued a press release announcing that "the Qingdao-MEG Sales Center, branded as Mobile Energy Group Center, is scheduled to start sales operations by May 1." 

According to the initial complaint filed in the Action, on June 25, 2020, analyst Hindenburg Research issued a series of tweets in which it called Ideanomics "an egregious & obvious fraud." Hindenburg asserted that it found evidence that Ideanomics had doctored photos for use in its press releases to suggest that it owns or operates a vehicle sales center in Qingdao, China, when it in fact does not.  Also, on June 25, 2020, analyst J Capital Research issued a report on Ideanomics entitled "Champion of Promotes." J Capital Research wrote, in part, that "Ideanomics . . . is a zero. The company changes its name and promotional story so frequently that it's hard to keep up. One thing remains a constant, despite all the press releases, buzzwords and hype: shareholders get wiped out." 

On June 26, 2020, Ideanomics issued a press release in which it sought to "clarify the status" of its purported EV hub in Qingdao, China. In its release, Ideanomics walked back certain of its prior statements regarding the MEG Center in Qingdao, stating that it was launching three phases of its MEG Center that will eventually total one million square feet. Following this news, the price of Ideanomics common stock fell from its June 24, 2020 close of $3.09 per share to a close of $1.46 per share on June 26, 2020, a two-day drop of approximately 53%.
