In case you hadn't noticed, Facebook is set to IPO very soon but, courtesy of BackgroundCheck.org [2], we have a breakdown of the dismal truth behind the next best thing since sliced bread - Groupon. Between their 'dodgy' growth and desperately poor governance, the SEC is showing a keen interest (or maybe just angling for a handout of IPO allocations).
