Did Sagent Technology Pull the Old 'Pump and Dump'? ( Pages)
by M. Reed
Nov 7, 2000
Abstract : Sagent Technology has been hit with a class action complaint for violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. According to the complaint, company officers misrepresented Sagent’s 1999 and 2000 sales prospects to give them time to sell over $8 million of their own stock. The officers sold their stock at prices as high as $27.875, but after the true revenue projections were revealed, the stock dropped as low as $7-7/32. Interestingly, both the Vice President of Sales and the Chief Financial Officer resigned after they received their millions of dollars in proceeds.
