KGS Announces First Filing of Shareholders Securities Fraud Class Action Against Pegasus Wireless Corp. (PGWC.OB) - (OTC BB)
| Source: Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC
NEW ORLEANS, LA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 8, 2006 -- Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") has filed
the first class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, on behalf of shareholders who purchased,
exchanged or otherwise acquired the common stock of Pegasus Wireless Corp.
("Pegasus" or the "Company'') (OTCBB : PGWC ) between December 22, 2005 and
September 5, 2006 (the "Class Period").
Pegasus and certain of its officers and directors are charged with issuing
a series of materially false and misleading statements in violation of
Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder. Beginning with an August 24, 2006 report published by The
MotleyFool.com, investors were shocked and alarmed to learn a series of
disturbing reports on Pegasus and its management, including: (1) Pegasus
failed to disclose CEO Jasper Knabb's and CFO Stephen Durland's close
business ties with convicted felons, securities fraudsters and the like;
(2) Pegasus failed to disclose a series of related party transactions and
the manner in which Knabb purchased more than $26 million in Pegasus stock;
(3) Pegasus withheld pertinent information involving Knabb's history with
penny stock companies with suspicious trading patterns. The revelation of
this news caused Pegasus shares to decline almost 25% on volume of almost 2
million shares from the closing price of $7.60 per share two days earlier.
At the close of the Class Period, over Labor Day weekend, a report by
Barron's revealed that: (1) Knabb had previously been arrested for possible
insurance fraud; (2) Two former Knabb companies -- BIFS Technologies,
formerly Biofiltration Systems, and Wireless Frontier -- evidenced
suspected stock and market manipulation; (3) Pegasus failed to disclose the
truth concerning the novelty and uniqueness of its products and the
foreseeability to compete in the current marketplace. Following the
Barron's report, on September 5, 2006, the first day of trading after the
Labor Day weekend, shares of Pegasus plummeted to a trading low of $1.10
per share, falling over 36.5% on huge volume of almost 18 million shares.
