BOSTON, Sept. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 14, 2020, Bloomberg News reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was examining Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ: NKLA) to assess the merits of analyst Hindenburg Research’s September 10, 2020 report that Nikola deceived investors. Shares of Nikola common stock have fallen precipitously in aftermarket trading.

Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockleviton.com), a national securities litigation firm, reminds investors of its investigation into whether Nikola and certain of its executives may be liable for securities fraud.

Before the markets opened on September 10, 2020, Hindenburg Research published a scathing report calling Nikola “an intricate fraud built on dozens of lies.” Hindenburg wrote that it “gathered extensive evidence—including recorded phone calls, text messages, private emails and behind-the-scenes photographs—detailing dozens of false statements by Nikola Founder Trevor Milton. We have never seen this level of deception at a public company, especially of this size.” Hindenburg asserts that Nikola has misled investors concerning, among other things, its battery and hydrogen fuel cell claims, as well as its purported “multi-billion dollar order book,” which Hindenburg asserts is “filled with fluff.” Nikola shares fell approximately 24% by the close of the markets on September 11, 2020.
