The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- from 2005 to at least 2013, YRC's units systematically overcharged the federal government for freight carrier services;
- this alleged misconduct caused the Department of Defense to overpay by millions of dollars for shipments that were lighter,
and thus cheaper, than the weights for which the government was charged;
- consequently, this alleged misconduct would subject YRC to enhanced government scrutiny and liabilities, including
potentially owing treble damages under the False Claims Act; and
- as a result, YRC's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On December 14, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States Department of Justice had
filed a complaint alleging that YRC Worldwide "made false statements to the government and defrauded the Department of Defense
by inflating weight measurements on bills" from 2005 to at least 2013.
Specifically, it is alleged that workers for the Company reweighed thousands of shipments and didn't disclose
the results when those weights came in under the original estimate. On this news, shares of YRC Worldwide stock fell $1.26 per
share or over 28% to close at $3.17 per share on December 14, 2018.
