The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for of CenturyLink investors under the federal securities laws.

The complaint alleges that defendants during the Class Period made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) CenturyLink's policies allowed its employees to add services or lines to accounts without customer permission, resulting in millions of dollars in unauthorized charges to CenturyLink customers; (2) accordingly, CenturyLink's revenues were the product of illicit conduct and unsustainable; (3) the foregoing illicit conduct was likely to subject CenturyLink to heightened regulatory scrutiny; and (4) as a result, CenturyLink's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 16, 2017, Bloomberg reported that a lawsuit had been filed by former CenturyLink employee Heidi Heiser alleging that Heiser was fired days after notifying Chief Executive Officer Glen Post of CenturyLink's high-pressure sales culture that left customers paying millions of dollars for accounts they didn't request. Following this news, shares of CenturyLink fell over 4%.

If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 21, 2017. 

If you have held CenturyLink shares continuously before February 27, 2014, you may have standing to hold CenturyLink harmless from the damage the officers and directors caused by making them personally responsible.
