SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Barclays PLC - BCS
NEW YORK, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Barclays PLC ("Barclays" or the "Company") (NYSE: BCS). Investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether Barclays and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On June 26, 2014, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman told CNBC that, "Dark pools theoretically are places where large investors will go to protect themselves from high-frequency traders because there's less disclosure."
"Schneiderman announced Wednesday a lawsuit against Barclays—accusing the British bank of giving an unfair edge in the U.S. to high-frequency trading clients, even as it claimed to be protecting large investors from such traders," according to a CNBC report.
On this news, shares of Barclays fell $1.31, or more than 8.34%, on intraday trading to a price of $14.40 on June 26, 2014.
