China Mobile Games & Entertainment Group, LTD ("CMGE" or the Company) is a large publisher and developer of mobile games in China.

According to the law firm press release, certain CMGE officers and directors and underwriters failed to disclose and/or materially misstated CMGE's true financial condition. Specifically, Defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that CMGE was engaged in a bribery scheme within the Company's game publishing business, that CMGE was engaged in undisclosed related party transactions, and that CMGE lacked internal controls.

The Complaint alleges that on June 19, 2014, the price of CMGE shares fell $4.27/share to $14.63/share before being halted by the NASDAQ on news reports that CMGE had removed nine executives, including the Company's President, in connection with the alleged bribery.
