BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Aflac Incorporated (“Aflac” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AFL) investors concerning the Company and its officers’ possible violations of federal securities laws.
On January 11, 2018, The Intercept published an article reporting accusations of fraud and other misconduct made against Aflac. Citing interviews with employees, as well as three previously unreported lawsuits, the article reported that Aflac exploited workers, manipulated its accounting, and deceived shareholders and customers. Among other issues, the article described: employees “selling policies without customer authorization or consent, illegally ‘bundling’ policies, and issuing others to ineligible customers”; manipulation of operational metrics and earnings statements; and “[r]etaliation against whistleblowers.” On this news, shares of Aflac fell sharply thereby injuring investors.
If you purchased Aflac securities, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to [email protected], or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
