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 World Acceptance Corp.
(Nasdaq: WRLD).
On March 13, 2013, the Company disclosed that it is the target of an
investigation by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
concerning potential "unlawful acts or practices in connection with the
marketing, offering, or extension of credit" in violation of federal
law, causing the price of the Company’s stock to plummet by almost 20%.
Following this news, a securities fraud class action case was brought
against World Acceptance, alleging that the Company violated federal
securities laws. The judge in that action has denied World Acceptance’s
motion to dismiss, so the case is proceeding to trial.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether World Acceptance’s officers
and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to World Acceptance’s
shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or
have been a long-term holder of World Acceptance shares and would like
to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to
you, call toll free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner
