Investor Alert: Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against MGPI
Investors in MGP Ingredients, Inc. (MGPI) should be aware of a recent securities fraud class action lawsuit that has been filed against the company. The lawsuit, spearheaded by KTMC Icon, alleges that MGPI made false and misleading statements to investors, leading to artificially inflated stock prices.
The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, accuses MGPI of misleading investors about the company’s business operations and financial performance. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that MGPI failed to disclose that its financial statements were not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This alleged misconduct resulted in inflated stock prices, which harmed investors when the truth was eventually revealed.
According to the lawsuit, MGPI’s financial statements contained errors related to cost of goods sold, that artificially inflated the company’s reported gross margins. The lawsuit alleges that MGPI’s financial disclosures misled investors about the company’s true financial health and performance. As a result of these alleged misrepresentations, investors suffered significant financial losses when the truth came to light.
The lawsuit also accuses MGPI of failing to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The complaint alleges that MGPI did not have effective procedures in place to ensure the accuracy and integrity of its financial statements. This lack of internal controls, according to the lawsuit, allowed for the alleged misrepresentations to occur and remain undetected by investors.
Investors who purchased MGPI stock between February 26, 2018, and February 1, 2019, may be eligible to participate in the securities fraud class action lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who were harmed by MGPI’s alleged misconduct.
