Premier Information Management, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PIFR) today filed suit against Bank of America Corp. (BAC) seeking $252M in damages alleging collaboration and cooperation in the assistance of fraudulent activities that critically damaged the company for nearly three years.

The Complaint alleges that Bank of America knowingly violated the terms and procedures related to the provisions of the Medallion Guarantee Program. Medallion Stamps are a mandatory requirement to transfer stock and warrant that a person's signature is genuine and the person has authority and legal capacity to sign. The Compliant then alleges Bank of America provided signature guarantees to blank stock powers, certificates, and documents in the names of individuals some of whom were long since deceased. The medallion guaranteed documents were then used to illegally transfer millions of Premier's publically trading stock for immediate sale. The Complaint alleges the illegal actions quickly reduced the stock price from $3.04 to just a few cents.

"Our losses due to Bank of America participation as alleged in our complaint has been devastating to operations and extends not just to our stock price and market capitalization but to our relationships with corporate and private investors. Furthermore, clients, vendors, and staff have all suffered tremendously as a direct result of these illegally obtained shares," said Tom Miller, CEO of Premier Information Management.

"We hope that Bank of America steps up to the plate and puts us back to where we were before the damages began. We urge all issuers and customers to investigate the procedures and controls used by their local Bank of America branch. Quite frankly, the scope of damages this lawsuit could spur goes far beyond anything Premier is currently seeking. From my perspective this is one can of worms that will affect the bank and the securities industry for some time," said David Stothart, Corporate Consultant to Premier. The full complaint can be viewed through Maricopa Superior Court ref. CV2008-093400.
