According to the law firm press release, the Complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws against Tibet Pharma, its officers and directors, and underwriters for issuing inaccurate statements of material fact about the Company’s true financial and business condition, which ultimately caused the Tibet Pharma’s stock to be halted by the NASDAQ and delisted, causing investors to lose nearly their entire investment.
