More specifically, the plaintiff claims that the defendants made allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that there existed critical integration issues with the companies acquisitions, including with respect to financial reporting for its Commodity and Risk Management unit, that INTL Fcstone Inc overstated revenues in trading gains of up to $10.2 million, causing an overstatement of net income by approximately $6.4 million, that INTL Fcstone Inc lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and that as a result of the foregoing INTL Fcstone Inc’s statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
