LifeMD is a telemedicine company that goes directly to patients. It provides a telemedicine platform designed to make it easier for patients to access licensed providers for diagnosis, virtual care, and prescription drugs.

On April 14, 2021, Culper Research released a report claiming that “LifeMD appeared to be using unlicensed doctors to dispense OTC medication, implemented an automated shipping / billing scheme, failed to meet guarantees, and introduced abusive telemarketing practices. “The report also alleged that several company executives were implicated in” widespread fraud “at Redwood Scientific, charged by the US Federal Trade Commission with” illegal auto-shipping, improper telemarketing and false allegations. ” According to Culper Research, “many customers are effectively tricked into buying subscriptions rather than one-time purchases,” and LifeMD “makes cancellations difficult, if not impossible.”

In that news, the company’s stock price fell $ 2.84, or 24%, to close at $ 9.00 per share on April 14, 2021.

The complaint, filed on April 16, 2021, alleges that throughout the teaching period, defendants made materially false and / or misleading statements and did not disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, Defendants have failed to advise investors: (1) that many of LifeMD’s executives were associated with Redwood Scientific when it was charged with illegal motoring, telemarketing, and false allegations, and that they engaged in similar practices within the Company; (2) LifeMD is shipping products to customers who are unwilling to post recurring revenue and the Company has made it difficult to cancel such subscriptions; (3) that some of the allegedly licensed doctors on the Company’s platform were, in fact, not licensed and subject to disciplinary action; (4) that the company was exposed to regulatory controls and / or reputational damage as a result of the above practices; and (5) that Defendant’s positive statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects as a result of the foregoing were materially misleading and / or were unfounded.
