SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of AmTrust Financial Services - AFSI

NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of AmTrust Financial Services  ("AmTrust" or the "Company")(NASDAQ: AFSI).  Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether AmTrust and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On December 12, 2013, a report by analyst firm Geoinvesting exposed certain alleged accounting improprieties, including transferring losses to offshore captive reinsurance companies, but not including these losses in SEC filings as required. AmTrust's shares fell $4.12 to $34.06, a one day drop of 9.2%, as a result of the release of this report.
