BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - March 9, 2011) - Saxena White P.A. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who purchased China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc. ("China Media" or the "Company") (
The Complaint alleges that China Media and certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose the following material information: (1) the Company misrepresented the number of buses in its advertising network; (2) the Company misrepresented the nature and extent of its business relationships; and (3) as such, the Company's financial results were overstated at all relevant times.
On January 31, 2011, Citron Research published a report that stated that China Media misrepresented the scope of the Company's operations, its financial performance, and the extent of the Company's claimed strategic partnership with a government-affiliated entity. The Citron Research report concluded that the Company "does not exist at the scale that they are reporting to the investing public." Then on February 3, 2011 the firm Muddy Waters disclosed that the Company "significantly inflated its revenue and earnings in order to pay management earn-outs and inflate the stock price so insiders can sell." On this news, shares of China Media common stock fell $5.52 per share to close on February 3, 2011 at $11.09 per share, representing a drop of more than 33%.
