08:37 JSDA Jones Soda trading lower in pre-mkt after Seattle Post article highlights shareholder class action suit against co (10.71 ) -Update-
Yesterday after the close, law firm Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins announced a shareholder class action suit against JSDA. Today, news of the suit is being picked up by the Seattle Post, in an article saying "JSDA and its two top executives were accused in a federal shareholder lawsuit Tuesday of "intentionally participating in a fraudulent scheme" to inflate the company's stock price, which later precipitously fell when the business faltered. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, accuses the company, Chief Executive Peter van Stolk and Chief Financial Officer Hassan Natha of presenting a "misleading picture of Jones Soda's business and prospects" and falsely overstating "sales and earnings capabilities"... The plaintiff in the suit, which is seeking class-action status, is Tillie Saltzman, who bought 100 shares at $15.90 each July 23"... Shares of JSDA are trading down ~5% in pre-market trading, on light volume.
WITH MILBERG WEISS PRINCIPALS CUTTING DEALS TO LESSEN PRISON TIME, THESE MORONS STILL DO THE SAME THING. TILLIE SALZMAN SHOULD GO TO JAIL, ALONG WITH THE BARRISTER THAT CONVINCED HER TO DO THIS. WHAT A SCAM. IT'S BEEN GOING ON WAY TOO LONG, AND ALL IT DOES IS BURDEN COMPANIES WITH FRIVILOUS LAWSUITS.
