NEW ORLEANS, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 MDC Partners Inc. (NasdaqGS: MDCA).

On April 27, 2015, MDC disclosed that in October 2014 it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission and is "actively cooperating" with the SEC, which is investigating the Company related to expenses incurred by its CEO Miles Nadal, as well as accounting, goodwill and trading of the company's stock by third parties. MDC stated that it formed a special committee to investigate the accusations with particular emphasis on perquisites and payments made to CEO Nadal between 2009 and 2014 and that, as a result of the review, Nadal has agreed to reimburse the company for $8.6 million related to certain incomplete expenses.

On this news, the price of MDC's shares plummeted by 28% and was downgraded by multiple analysts.

KSF's investigation is focusing on whether MDC and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.
