FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR), on Oct. 19, 2023, announced that it filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, FingerMotion, Inc., v. Capybara Research et. al. The case was against defendant Capybara Research, alleging claims for securities fraud, tortious interference with prospective business expectancy and defamation in connection with a defamatory article maliciously published to its website and X account in a premeditated attempt to decrease FingerMotion’s share price and financially benefit from its previously disclosed short position. On Jan. 16, 2024, the company amended its complaint to add claims against Accretive Capital LLC d/b/a Benzinga for tortious interference with prospective business expectancy and defamation in connection with the republishing of Capybara’s defamatory article. As of March 21, 2024, FingerMotion has entered into a settlement agreement with Benzinga, facilitating the removal of references to Capybara’s article from Benzinga’s website and dismissing Benzinga from the lawsuit.
“We are gratified to reach this milestone in our legal action against Capybara Research and coming to a settlement with Benzinga,” said FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen. “This is, however, only the first step in our drive to fully redress the damage caused by this false and malicious article. We remain committed to pursuing our federal lawsuit until a final judgment has been reached.”
