The lawsuit says CrowdStrike's share price fell 32% in 12 days, wiping out US$25 billion of market value, as the outage's effects became known.

      Because companies have a feduciary duty to their shareholders and this is how it’s enforced.

        Yes fiduciary duty to the shareholder is sometimes misunderstood but this is in scope.

        Everything can be securities fraud:

        Literally, you invest on good the idea a company will operate within your interests. This going as south as it did was the opposite of the interests of investors. They have a right the same as companies using the the product.

          Allowing that is a great way to legalize stealing investor money.

          If the company fails the investors get nothing, but it still has a feduciary duty to them.

      The shareholders in question suing are a public employee retirement fund. I wouldn’t exactly consider retired sanitation workers and bureaucrats societal leeches, but to each their own I guess.
