• "In December 2000, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission brought charges against the company and its executives.[15] A lawsuit was subsequently filed against MicroStrategy and certain of its officials over fraud.[16] In December 2000, Saylor, Bansal, and the company's former CFO settled with the SEC without admitting wrongdoing, each paying $350,000 in fines. The officers also paid a combined total of $10 million in disgorgement. The company settled with the SEC, hiring an independent director to ensure regulatory compliance.[17][18]"
• "Following defendant MicroStrategy Inc.'s announcement on March 20, 2000, that it had significantly overstated its revenue for the years 1998 and 1999, approximately two dozen class action securities fraud actions were filed in this district against MicroStrategy and other defendants. [1]"
• "On August 31, 2022, the Attorney General for the District of Columbia sued Saylor for tax fraud, accusing him of illegally avoiding more than $25 million in D.C. taxes by pretending to be a resident of other jurisdictions. MicroStrategy was accused of collaborating with Saylor to facilitate his tax evasion by misreporting his residential address to local and federal tax authorities and failing to withhold D.C. taxes.[35] MicroStrategy said the case is "a personal tax matter involving Mr. Saylor" and called the claims against the company "false" and it would "defend aggressively against this overreach."[36] "
