Investors of Walgreens should be aware that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has filed a civil complaint in federal court alleging that Walgreens Boots Alliance, Walgreen Co. and various subsidiaries dispensed millions of unlawful prescriptions in violation of the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) and then sought reimbursement for many of these prescriptions from various federal health care programs in violation the False Claims Act (“FCA”).

According to the complaint, “. . . from approximately August 2012 through the present, Walgreens knowingly filled millions of prescriptions for controlled substances that lacked a legitimate medical purpose, were not valid, and/or were not issued in the usual course of professional practice. Among the millions of unlawful prescriptions that Walgreens allegedly filled were prescriptions for dangerous and excessive quantities of opioids, prescriptions for early refills of opioids and prescriptions for the especially dangerous and abused combination of drugs known as the ‘trinity,’ which is made up of an opioid, a benzodiazepine and a muscle relaxant.”

On this news, the stock price of Walgreens dropped more than 5% after the stock market closed on January 17, 2025.

Comerica Inc. – Breach of Fiduciary Duties Investigation (CMA)

Jan 15, 2025 | Investigations

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is invesigating whether certain executive officers or board members of Comerica Inc. (“Comerica”) (NYSE: CMA) failed to manage Comerica in an acceptable manner, in breach of their fiduciary duties to Comerica, and whether Comerica and its shareholders were harmed as a result.

CFPB v. Comerica Bank

On December 6, 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) sued Comerica Bank, a subsidiary of publicly traded Comerica Inc., for systematically failing its 3.4 million Direct Express cardholders – primarily unbanked Americans receiving federal benefits.

Comerica Bank, according to the CFPB, deliberately disconnected 24 million customer service calls, impeding cardholders from exercising their rights under the law, charged illegal ATM fees to over 1 million cardholders, and mishandled fraud complaints while providing federal benefits through the Direct Express prepaid debit card program.

Key CFPB Lawsuit Allegations About How Comerica Harmed its Customers:

  • Deliberately disconnecting customer service calls: Comerica’s vendors intentionally dropped more than 24 million calls from customers before they could reach a representative. Customers whose calls were not dropped were routinely forced to endure excessively long wait times—often in excess of several hours—to speak with a representative to get help with unauthorized transactions, charge disputes, and lost or stolen cards.
  • Charging consumers illegal ATM fees: Over one million Direct Express cardholders were charged ATM fees to access their government benefits in situations where they were legally entitled to free withdrawals.
  • Misleading fraud victims: When consumers contacted Comerica alleging they had been fraudulently enrolled into the Direct Express program, the bank’s vendors frequently advised the consumers that “no error occurred” where the bank had determined that there was, in fact, enrollment fraud.
  • Imposing illegal terms of service on consumers seeking to stop payments: Comerica led its consumers to agree to waive their consumer protections by requiring cardholders to contact and request merchants to stop pre-authorized payment transfers from their account in situations where the law in fact required the bank to stop the transfers itself.
  • Failing to investigate account problems: Under federal law, when a customer notifies a bank about an incorrect or potentially fraudulent charge on their account, the bank must take steps to investigate the error within a specified time period. The CFPB’s investigation found that Comerica failed to meet this requirement more than 20,000 times. And when they did investigate, they frequently provided vague and confusing findings or blew off customers altogether.
  • Forcing consumers to close accounts, which often resulted in additional fees: The bank’s vendors required thousands of cardholders to close their accounts to stop a preauthorized payment, resulting in consumers incurring additional fees to expedite receipt of their new debit cards to regain access to their government benefits.

NeueHealth Merger Investigation (NEUE)

Jan 3, 2025 | Investigations

NeueHealth Stock – Is the Proposed Acquisition of NeueHealth By An Affiliate of Its Controlling Shareholder Fair to NEUE Shareholders? –  

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of NeueHealth, Inc. (“NeueHealth”) (NYSE: NEUE) regarding the adequacy and fairness of the proposed acquisition by NeueHealth’s controlling shareholder, New Enterprise Associates (“NEA”).

Under the terms of the proposed all-cash transaction, NEA’s affiliate would acquire NeueHealth for $7.33 per share. NEA already owns 53.8% of NeueHealth, raising significant concerns about the fairness and independence of the process undertaken by NeueHealth’s Board of Directors.

INVESTORS OF NEUEHEALTH STOCK CAN CLICK HERE OR EMAIL [email protected] TO CONTACT KEHOE LAW FIRM, P.C. TO DISCUSS THE INVESTIGATION AND POTENTIAL LEGAL CLAIMS.

KEY INVESTIGATIVE CONCERNS:

Inadequate Deal Protections:  Although NeueHealth’s Board formed a special committee, it does not appear to have implemented customary safeguards, such as requiring a majority of the minority vote to approve the transaction.

Below-Market Valuation: The offer price of $7.33 per share is substantially below NeueHealth’s 52-week average price of $16.59 and its 52-week high of $31.00, suggesting an undervaluation that does not reflect NeueHealth’s true potential.

Conflict of Interest: Was the transaction the result of a flawed process driven by a conflicted board, heavily influenced by the controlling shareholder?

CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS OF NEUEHEALTH STOCK INTERESTED IN SEEKING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER INVESTIGATION AND POTENTIAL LEGAL CLAIMS CAN CONTACT MICHAEL YARNOFF, ESQ., (215) 792-6676, EXT. 804, [email protected], [email protected].
