On February 19, 2022, the Los Angeles Times published an article entitled "Family behind Fatburger under investigation for alleged fraud, money laundering, records show" which reported that federal authorities have been investigating FAT Brands' chief executive "as part of an inquiry into allegations of securities and wire fraud, money laundering and attempted tax evasion, court records show."
Then on February 22, 2022, before market hours, FAT Brands Inc. disclosed in an SEC filing that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have both "opened investigations relating to the Company and our Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Wiederhorn, and are formally seeking documents and materials concerning, among other things, the Company's December 2020 merger with Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc., transactions between these entities and Mr. Wiederhorn, and compensation, extensions of credit and other benefits or payments received by Mr. Wiederhorn or his family."

Shares of FAT Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: FAT) declined from $11.86 per share on January 6, 2022, to as low as $6.86 per share on February 24, 2022.

The plaintiff claims that between December 4, 2017 and February 18, 2022, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) the Company and the Wiederhorns engaged in transactions "for no legitimate corporate purpose"; (2) the Company ignored warning signs relating to transactions with the Wiederhorns; (3) as a result, the Company was likely to face increased scrutiny, investigations, and other potential issues; (4) certain executives, who are touted as critical to the Company's success, were at great risk of scrutiny-potentially, at least in part, due to the Company's actions; (5) the Company's touted chief executive officer (CEO) and chief operating officer (COO) were under investigation regarding transactions with the Company; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.
