Schall Law Firm Investigates Block, Inc., Urges Investor Action

May 23, 2024 : The Schall Law Firm, a national investor rights litigation firm, has announced an investigation into Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) for potential violations of federal securities laws. This investigation stems from a recent NBC report alleging widespread compliance lapses within the company’s core business units, Square and Cash App.

The NBC report, published on May 1, 2024, cites discussions between a former employee and federal prosecutors. These discussions reportedly centered on alleged “widespread and yearslong compliance lapses” at Square and Cash App. The specific details of these alleged lapses remain undisclosed at this time.

Following the publication of this report, Block’s stock price experienced a significant decline, falling by more than 7.3% in intraday trading. This suggests that investors may have lost confidence in the company’s prospects due to the potential implications of these compliance concerns.

The Schall Law Firm is specifically investigating whether Block issued false or misleading statements to investors or failed to disclose material information promptly. Securities laws require companies to disclose all material information that could reasonably be expected to influence an investor’s decision-making process.

If the allegations of widespread compliance lapses prove to be true, this could significantly negatively impact Block’s financial performance. Investors who purchased Block stock before May 1, 2024, and have suffered losses may be eligible to participate in a potential class action lawsuit.

The Schall Law Firm encourages investors who held Block stock during the relevant timeframe to contact the firm to discuss their legal rights. The firm emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for a proxy, and no decision has been made to file a class action lawsuit.

This investigation by the Schall Law Firm signifies the potential legal ramifications of the allegations against Block. The outcome of the investigation and any potential litigation will depend on the specifics of the alleged compliance lapses and the information available to Block at the time of its public statements.
