Cloud-based telco name recording agency Dubber has been rocked in latest months, as its co-founder and chief government was stood down after which sacked after $30m in a third-party time period deposit went lacking.
The firm went right into a buying and selling halt in late February at $0.135. The inventory resumed buying and selling on Wednesday however closed at $0.061.
The drop represents about $42.3m being wiped from the corporate’s worth.
Sky News business editor Ross Greenwood known as it “one of the worst share price falls in the history of the ASX”.
Issues at Dubber emerged when an audit discovered $30m supposedly being held by Christopher William Legal in a time period deposit was lacking. Dubber chief government and co-founder Steve McGovern was then suspended.
Last month, Dubber instructed the ASX that about $3.4m had been recovered, with $26.6m excellent.
“From the investigation conducted to date, it is alleged that Mr McGovern and the trustee were likely involved in the unauthorised use of those funds, including for purposes which were not for the company’s benefit,” the corporate introduced final week because it sacked Mr McGovern.

He mentioned whereas it isn’t unusual for a corporation to fall 70 per cent in a 12 months, Dubber misplaced 70 per cent in a day. “Dubber shares haven’t traded for six weeks,” he said. “It raised $24 million from shareholders at just five cents apiece – 77 per cent lower than they’re previous price. The shares resumed trading today … and immediately they collapsed. “Thorney Technologies, led by investor Alex Waislitz, owns almost 20 per cent of the company and supported the capital raising.”
