SEC’s enforcement officials assigned to cyber and emerging technologies are reportedly leading the probe.&nbsp;The probe was initiated following a whistleblower complaint earlier this year, as well as a series of short reports. The report clarified that the SEC has not yet accused AppLovin of any wrongdoing, and it also stated that it was unclear how far the review had progressed.Responding to Bloomberg’s request for clarification via email, AppLovin reportedly said, “We regularly engage with regulators and if we get inquiries we address them in the ordinary course,” adding that “Material developments, if any, would be disclosed through the appropriate public channels.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the stock flipped to ‘bullish’ early Tuesday from ‘extremely bearish’ a day ago.
