Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC Announces the Investigation of Liquid Holdings Group, Inc.
08 October 2015 - 1:06AM
Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is conducting an
investigation to determine whether Liquid Holdings Group, Inc.
("Liquid Holdings" or the "Company") and certain of its officers
and directors made false and misleading statements and/or omissions
and/or violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
Securities Act of 1933.
A class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for
the District of New Jersey by another law firm on behalf of
purchasers of the common stock of Liquid Holdings Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:LIQD): (1) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's July
25, 2013 initial public offering; and/or (2) between July 26, 2013
and December 23, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period").
The complaint alleges that Liquid Holdings and certain of its
officers and directors ("Defendants") misrepresented and/or failed
to disclose that: (1) Liquid Holdings was overstating its ability
to generate customers; (2) the Company's business model was
unsustainable; (3) the financial condition of the Company's main
and largest customer, an investment entity known as QuantX
Management, LLP ("QuantX"), was deteriorating; (4) as a result, the
Company's financial results and operating metrics were overstated;
(5) the Company's financial statements were not prepared in
accordance with GAAP; (6) Liquid Holdings lacked adequate internal
controls; and (7) the Company's financial statements and
Defendants' statements about Liquid Holdings' business, operations,
and prospects, were materially false and misleading.
The claims in this case followed the Company's filing of an 8-K
in which it revealed, among other things, that QuantX, which
accounted for 61% of Liquid Holdings' revenues in the third quarter
of 2014, and a substantial portion of its revenues since its
inception, was delinquent on approximately $1.7 million in
payments. The Company further reported that it had terminated
its consulting agreement with defendant Brian Ferdinand, its
co-founder, former Chairman and QuantX affiliate, pursuant to which
Ferdinand was to provide business development, client introduction
and other services to Liquid Holdings. The price of Liquid
Holdings shares fell from $0.74 to $0.40 on December 24.
Cohen Milstein encourages all investors who purchased Liquid
Holdings common stock between July 25, 2013 and December 23, 2014,
including in the initial public offering on July 25, 2013, or
during a secondary offering on May 15, 2014, or former employees
with information concerning this matter to contact the firm.
