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 Linn Energy, LLC (“Linn”).
(Nasdaq: LINE).
Linn is a natural gas exploration and production company. In February
and May 2013, Barron’s published two articles questioning and
criticizing Linn’s aggressive accounting practices. Then, on July 1,
2013, Linn and LinnCo, LLC, which owns units representing limited
liability company interests in Linn, disclosed that the SEC had opened
an informal inquiry into Linn and LinnCo’s proposed merger with Berry
Petroleum Company, as well as Linn and LinnCo’s hedging strategies and
use of non-GAAP financial measures, the same accounting issues which had
been criticized by Barron’s.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Linn’s officers and/or
directors breached their fiduciary duties to Linn’s shareholders or
otherwise violated state or federal laws.
