NEW ORLEANS, June 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT).
On December 19, 2016, the Company's largest U.S. customer, Chevron, terminated its 10-year relationship with the Company. Then, beginning in March 2017, numerous news and analyst reports revealed allegations against the Company for a pattern of misconduct involving fraudulent billing, misleading marketing and predatory sales tactics. In May 2017, Chevron filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the Company relating in part to the Company's mistreatment of customers. Further, between May 10, 2016 and March 10, 2017, the Company's President/CEO/Chairman, CFO and four other directors disposed of 685,720 shares of FleetCor stock at artificially inflated prices, receiving over $108 million in proceeds.
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. Recently, the U.S. District Court presiding over that case denied the Company's motion to dismiss in part, allowing the case to move forward.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether FleetCor's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to FleetCor's shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
