The stock is now up over 500% today and has been halted numerous times...

Having closed last Thursday on its IPO-day at $5.38, news of the acquisition of Ziddu - a blockchain solutions provider (whatever that means in the real world) - LongFin has since exploded to $44.80 in today's pre-market... up 730% in 2 days.
Remember LongFin? an independent finance and technology company. The Company offers commodity trading, alternate risk transfer, and carry trade financing services. LongFin also provides hedging and risk management solutions to importers, exporters, and small medium business enterprises. LongFin serves customers worldwide.
As iBankCoin notes, it has all of the trimmings of wanton degeneracy on an industrial scale.
- Recent IPO: check
- Small float: check
- Shady as heck: check
- AI company: check
and the cherry on the top...
- a day after coming public, they announce the purchase of a blockchain company: check

On Thursday Dec 14th, LongFin launched as a FinTech company that helped with FX hedging (and slipped from its post-IPO open price to close lower)

Meenavalli said, "We are the first Asian Entrepreneur promoted Reg A+ company under JOBS Act, to list its shares directly in Nasdaq and the second Indian entrepreneur promoted company to list directly in the Nasdaq since 2010"
On Friday Dec 15th, they acquired Ziddue and became the future face of Cyrptocurrency awesomeness...
Longfin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN), a leading global FinTech company, announces the acquisition of Ziddu.com, a Blockchain-empowered solutions provider that offers Microfinance Lending against Collateralized Warehouse Receipts in the form of Ziddu Coins.
And with all those buzzwords, why wouldn't it be up 730%!!!!
As a reminder, there are no financials on this company, no reg details on shares outstanding, and no direct evidence of a business model that makes any money?
