The lawsuit alleges that from February 1, 2012 through May 7, 2014, Defendants made false statements regarding Liquidity Services' retail and commercial capital, causing the stock price to be artificially inflated. The lawsuit also alleges that Liquidity Services' Chief Executive Officer sold $68.2 million of company stock at artificially manipulated prices. The Court found there was a "strong and cogent inference of scienter" of an intent to defraud.
