NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2017 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Pingtan Marine Enterprise Ltd. ("Pingtan" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PME) securities and certain of its officers, on behalf of a class who purchased Pingtan securities between August 8, 2016 through May 10, 2017, (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/pme.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and or failed to disclose that: (1) Pingtan is banned from Indonesia; (2) Pingtan has used investor capital to finance illegal activity; and (3) consequently, Pingtan's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On May 10, 2017, Aurelius Value reported that Pingtan had concealed that it is banned from Indonesia and its involvement in, among other illegal activities, forced labor, illegal fishing, and human trafficking schemes. Following this news, Pingtan stock dropped $1.16 per share, or over 28%, to close at $2.95 on May 10, 2017.
