Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading minority and Woman-owned national securities law firm with offices in New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia.

As detailed below, the lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company's organic growth is plummeting; (2) the Company's recent, self-lauded acquisitions were overpayments for flawed assets from questionable sources; (3) Aterian's purported artificial intelligence software is a flawed product that lacks customer interest; (4) Aterian uses rebate programs and paid or artificial reviews to pump up their product offerings; (5) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 4, 2021, Culper Research published a scathing report entitled: "Aterian (ATER): Bought from Felons & Fraudsters, Sold to You." In this report, Culper wrote that: "the Company has ties to convicted criminals and is promoting what we believe is an over-hyped 'AI' narrative and a string of garbage acquisitions to mask the failure of its already ill-conceived core business."

Culper continued that: "Aterian has been largely unsuccessful in convincing other Amazon sellers to pay for its 'AIMEE' AI platform, and at least 5 former employees and a former customer have expressed doubts regarding AIMEE's legitimacy."

Culper further wrote: "[w]e believe that there are serious problems with Aterian's claims to maintain strong organic growth and to drive M&A synergies: to us, neither of these appears to be the case. . . . In our view, this suggests not only that Aterian is unable to growth EBITDA at acquired businesses, but that its core business is also failing to produce."
