Law
Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of
investors of PJT Partners, Inc. (“PJT Partners” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
PJT) concerning the Company and its officers’ possible violations of
federal securities laws. Injured investors are encouraged to contact the
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights, and a
potential class action lawsuit to recover investors’ losses.
On March 28, 2016, news reports revealed that PJT Partners’ managing
director, Andrew Caspersen, was arrested and charged with defrauding
investors of more than $95 million. Mr. Caspersen allegedly stole the
money via phony private equity investments and lost millions through
aggressive options trading with his own account. After Mr. Caspersen’s
arrest, PJT Partners said in a statement that it was “stunned and
outraged” and has since conducted an internal investigation for federal
prosecutors.
On this news, shares of PJT Partners have fallen as much as 25% during
intraday trading on March 28, 2016.
If you purchased PJT Partners securities, have information or would like
to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this
announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters,
please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
