Here's a serious question for anyone who knows about business law…..if a public company whose worth is based on the number of users on their platform (exposure for ads, etc), that company gets sold and the new owner finds out the number it's worth was based on is totally bogus, is there a legal remedy?

Did the buyer exercise due diligence? Was the buyer defrauded?

Speaking as a businessman and not a lawyer:

Contracts often include considerations for material misstatements of asset value. And the law frowns upon fraud.
