On October 6, 2021, analyst Scorpion Capital published an investigative report concluding "Ginkgo is a house of cards - in our opinion, one of the most brazen frauds of the last 20 years." The report indicated that Ginkgo's business model is a related-party model whereby essentially 100% of the company's deferred revenue are derived from related-party "customers" it created, funded, controls or influences via its ownership position and board seats. Scorpion also alleged that Ginkgo has engaged in a brazen effort to misclassify and misreport related-party revenue and deceive investors with phony accounting and at least half of Ginkgo's reported foundry revenue is phantom, non-cash and "pure accounting hocus-pocus."

Following this news, Ginkgo's stock price fell $1.39, or approximately 12%, to close at $10.59 per share on October 6, 2021.

Recently, on November 15, 2021, Ginkgo admitted that shortly after the issuance of the Scorpion Capital report, the company received an inquiry from the United States Department of Justice relating to the financial misconduct allegations in the report.

Ginkgo investors may, no later than January 18, 2022, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
