Twist Bioscience Corporation TWST Investigation:

Twist claims it is an innovative synthetic biology and genomics company that has developed a scalable DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology and that the core of its platform is a proprietary technology that pioneers a new method of manufacturing synthetic DNA by "writing" DNA on a silicon chip.

Twist's claims came under serious question on Nov. 15, 2022, when Scorpion Capital published a scathing investigative report concluding that Twist is "[t]he latest miniaturized ‘lab-on-a-chip' scam, just like Theranos, Berkely Lights, and other failures."

Scorpion interviewed Twist ex-executives and manufacturing employees, customers, and competitors, and alleges in its report that: (1) Twist "is a ticking time bomb that we believe is resorting to a Worldcom-esque accounting fraud;" (2) its "[p]urported ‘Factory of the Future' in Oregon, which Twist claims to be ramping with ~100MM of capex, appears deserted based on photographic and other evidence, leading us to believe it is a ruse for improper capitalization;" (3) "Twist's reported gross margins of 45% are simply implausible, and we think they are actually negative;" (4) "[m]ultiple competitors internally refer to Twist's price-dumping and customer subsidy scheme as a ‘Ponzi'"; and (5) "Twist's management exhibits striking red flags, with suspicious transactions with opaque, offshore Chinese entities, and its largest holders at IPO appear to be a cesspool of bad actors."     

In response, during intraday trading on Nov. 15 the price of Twist shares crashed as much as 33% lower.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Twist misled investors about its accounting and the sustainability of its business," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
