Securities Fraud Class Action Against THE GEO GROUP, INC.
To help shareholders recover losses due to violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by The GEO Group, Inc. ("GEO") and its CEO, George Zoley, when they made false and/or misleading statements regarding the impact on the company of pending lawsuits against it, Roche Freedman LLP and Levi Korsinsky, LLP are actively litigating Hartel v. The GEO Group, Inc. et al., No. 9:20-cv-81063-RS. The current complaint alleges that Defendants' false and/or misleading statements concealed the truth from the market, causing the company's stock price to trade at artificially inflated levels, and when the truth came out, the stock price crashed - causing shareholders to lose money.
