Blink is in the business of electric vehicle charging equipment and services. The complaint for the class action lawsuit alleges that Blink misrepresented and concealed:

  • That many of the company’s electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are damaged, non-functional, or inaccessible.
  • That Blink overstated its partnerships and expansions with other companies.
  • That the growth of the company was overstated.

On August 19, 2020, Culper Research released a memo stating that it was short the company and believed that “the company has vastly exaggerated the size of its EV charging network in order to siphon money from the pockets of investors to insiders.” Culper states in the memo that the company only has 2,192 functional charging stations, though it claims to have 15,000.

The report goes on to state “We believe Blink is a scheme designed by Chairman and CEO Michael D. Farkas to pillage minority investors to the benefit of insiders. Since 2014, compensation expense of $44 million is more than double the company’s $18 million in cumulative revenues, which have remained flat…”

The same day as the Culper memo, another report came out that questioned whether Blink’s CEO had ties to alleged penny stock dealers and pump and dumpers. On news of these reports, Blink’s shares traded significantly lower, causing losses for shareholders.

Blink Charging raised $23 million in an initial public offering on the week of February 12th, 2018. The company issued 4,600,000 shares at $5.00 per share. Joseph Gunnar served as the underwriter for the IPO and Benchmark and Dawson James Securities were co-managers.
