APPROACHING DEADLINE: Khang & Khang LLP Announces a Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Acacia Communications, Inc. and Reminds Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a securities class action lawsuit against Acacia Communications, Inc. (“Acacia” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ACIA). Investors, who purchased or otherwise acquired Acacia shares from August 11, 2016 through July 13, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the Firm before the October 13, 2017 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased Acacia shares during the Class Period, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esq., of Khang & Khang LLP, 4000 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, CA 92604, by telephone at (949) 419-3834, or by e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case yet, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Acacia made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose: that the Company’s manufacturing and quality control processes were deficient; that the foregoing deficiencies would likely disrupt the Company’s manufacturing and impact its revenues; and that, as a result of the above, Acacia’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 31, 2017, Acacia issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, advising investors that “the Company has identified a quality issue” affecting “a portion” of several thousand modules manufactured by one of Acacia’s three contract manufacturers, citing as the “root cause of this quality issue…a circuit board cleaning process that has since been eliminated.” On July 14, 2017, Acacia issued a press release announcing the Company’s preliminary financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company reported profit and revenue that missed estimates and revised its current-quarter guidance downward. The Company stated that its “second-quarter results were adversely affected by the quality issue identified at one of our three contract manufacturers that we announced on May 31.” When this information became public, shares of Acacia decreased in value materially, which caused investors harm according to the Complaint.

DEADLINE REMINDER: Khang & Khang LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Forterra, Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a securities class action lawsuit against Forterra, Inc. (“Forterra” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FRTA). Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Forterra shares pursuant and/or traceable to its October 21, 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”), are encouraged to contact the Firm before October 13, 2017, the lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased Forterra shares in connection with the IPO, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esq., of Khang & Khang LLP, 4000 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, CA 92604, by telephone at (949) 419-3834, or by e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case yet, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, the Registration Statement which Forterra used to conduct its IPO contained false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose: that organic sales in the Company’s Drainage and Water segments declined significantly; that Forterra was experiencing increased pricing pressure due to competition and continued softness in its concrete and steel pipe business; that the Company had been losing business in its important pipe and precast business, due in large part to operational problems at its production plants; and that Forterra had undisclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls that prevented it from accurately reporting and forecasting its financial results. Since the IPO, Forterra’s stock price dropped about 75%, which harmed investors according to the Complaint.

INVESTOR ALERT: Khang & Khang LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Top Ships Inc. and Reminds Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a securities class action lawsuit against Top Ships Inc. (“Top Ships” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TOPS). Investors, who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Top Ships from January 17, 2017 through August 22, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the Firm before the October 23, 2017 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased Top Ships shares during the Class Period, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esq., of Khang & Khang LLP, 4000 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, CA 92604, by telephone at (949) 419-3834, or by e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

The Complaint alleges that CEO Evangelos J. Pistiolis (“Pistiolis”) caused Top Ships to engage in a series of manipulative share issuance/sales transactions with Kalani Investments Limited (“Kalani”) through which Top Ships would sell its common shares and securities convertible into common shares to Kalani at a significant discount to market price and file registration statements so that Kalani could resell these shares into the market. When Kalani’s sales of Top Ships stock caused the price of Top Ships stock to decline, Top Ships would reverse split the stock, causing a certain number of outstanding shares to be merged into a single share, and thereby raise the price of Top Ships stock. Then, Top Ships would again sell securities to Kalani and the same pattern of transactions would ensue.

At the same time that Top Ships was engaging in these transactions, the Company failed to disclose the true purpose of the transactions and related stock issuances and reverses – to finance related-party transactions and acquisitions that primarily benefited Pistiolis and his related companies, and otherwise funnel money to Top Ships insiders. While Top Ships used the proceeds from these offerings to further enrich Pistiolis and his affiliates through various related-party transactions, the value of Top Ships common stock has declined by more than 99%, which caused investors harm according to the Complaint.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Khang & Khang LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. and Reminds Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a securities class action lawsuit against Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. (“Vitamin Shoppe” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSI). Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares from March 1, 2017 through August 6, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the Firm before the October 27, 2017 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased Vitamin Shoppe shares during the Class Period, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esq., of Khang & Khang LLP, 4000 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, CA 92604, by telephone at (949) 419-3834, or by e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Vitamin Shoppe made false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose: that the Company’s retail segment was declining dramatically; that its ongoing “reinvention plan” had been unsuccessful and brought more than $168 million in goodwill impairment, and it was not properly recognizing that impairment charge; and that as a result of the above, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On May 10, 2017, Vitamin Shoppe released first quarter 2017 financial results that were lower than market expectations and slashed its fiscal 2017 guidance by 45%, yet claimed the “reinvention plan” was still succeeding. Following this news, the Company’s stock price fell dramatically. On August 9, 2017, the Company announced that it was taking a $168.1 million impairment charge on the goodwill being carried on its books associated with its retail segment, and that it would report a loss per share of $6.73. Also, citing “the potential increase in variability of the Company’s results due to the number of initiatives being launched in the back half of the year,” Vitamin Shoppe dropped its fiscal 2017 earnings per share guidance altogether. When this information reached the public, the Company’s share price fell materially, which caused investors harm according to the Complaint.

The Dalai Lama Trust to Receive Financial Aid from the US Government amidst Controversies around Dalai Lama Trust Executor

Although a secretary and executor of the Dalai Lama has been ensnared in a number of scandals, it is less likely that the US Government will cut back on the financial aid.

September 29, 2017 /PressReleaseAgency/ —

The Dalai Lama Trust, which runs under the inspiring leadership of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, would continue to receive financial aid from the US Government, as it has been sporadically over the years. As per the 2018 Federal Budget proposed by the Trump Administration, the Trust will continue to receive financial aids “not less than the amounts provided in fiscal year 2017”. The Trust believes that the restoration of financial aid would help them in maintaining the transmission of unique Tibetan culture and help them bring justice to the Tibetan people living within the Chinese territory.

According to an insider, foreign assistance helps them in maintaining sustainable development. However, the insider also expressed his remorse over the fact that some key members of the Trust might be involved in money laundering and other scandals, which ultimately smears the good reputation of the Trust and His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama too.

“It is reasonable for us to address the question on how to secure the appropriate use of millions of dollars provided by the US government and other NGOs to the Central Tibetan Administration and various Trust Funds. Is there a way to ensure that the financial aid will make improvement in the well-being of the majority of Tibetan people in exile? How do we ensure that the taxpayer’s money will not fall into the pocket of some hypocrites?” he told the international press.

The insider’s comments came in the light of a series of recent incidents that have put the Trust and all its members to shame. According to him, Lama Tenzin Dhonden, secretary and executor of the Dalai Lama Trust, is ensnared in a series of scandals.

“Lama Tenzin has built his reputation as a philanthropist, but in fact he has been demanding bribes secretly. In the past Lama Tenzin Dhonden received over 250,000 dollars from the Kirlin Charitable Foundation. He laundered the money through a shell company called Lotus Fund, by means of which he avoided paying a large amount of tax. Lama Tenzin also clapped up many excuses to request money from the Kirlin Charitable Foundation.”

“He often threatened to cancel the Dalai Lama’s visit when the donor refused to provide more funding. In addition to the Kirlin Charitable Foundation, Tenzin Dhonden also asked for gifts and rewards from other people, which include houses and services such as travelling by private planes”, the insider commented and added that The Dalai Lama actually gave full support to the Dalai Lama Fellows and its activities in the North America.

“But people like Lama Tenzin Dhonden can only bring shame to the community. He was also involved in the NXIVM case. NXIVM was regarded as a cult, but Tenzin Dhonden lent a hand with dealing its public relations crisis by inviting His Holiness to Albany. Furthermore, as a Buddhist priest who has vowed to observe celibacy, Lama Tenzin’s inappropriate relationship with Bronfman sisters triggered the public anger”, he added.

However, the insider also indicated that the The Dalai Lama Trust is about to cut all ties with the corrupt and baneful Tenzin Dhonden if he does not reform himself.

“We believe that we can succeed in our mission to support the advancement and welfare of the Tibetan people, the culture and heritage of the ancient civilization of Tibet, and the promotion of the deep rooted values associated with its culture and people”, he said with much conviction at a recent press conference.

New Digital Marketing Agency Brings SME Success

Multi-channel digital marketing company, launching this week, is poised to deliver a boost to sales for SME’s worldwide. Aesthetic Technology, will deliver proven strategies for digital excellence, driving increased leads and sales.

September 29, 2017 /AuthorityNewsNetwork/ —

Multi-channel digital marketing company, launching this week, is poised to deliver a boost to sales for SME’s worldwide. Aesthetic Technology, headed up by talented digital entrepreneur, Ryan Margolin, will deliver proven strategies for digital excellence, driving increased leads and sales.

New multi-channel digital marketing business, Aesthetic Technology, is launching in Ireland this week. With a focus on small and medium enterprises (SME’s), the agency is committed to offering proven digital marketing services to businesses globally, with a clear vision of streamlining lead generation for companies in a variety of industries.

With the SME sector making up 99.8 percent of the total enterprise population of Ireland, Aesthetic Technology will have a huge market base to work with. Despite over 20,000 new businesses launching in 2016 alone, the Bank of Ireland estimate that 66 percent will fail within their first five years. Globally, the failure rate is between 42 and 63 per cent, depending on their industry.

Irish businesses, both large and small, collectively spend more than €300m a year on digital advertising, with year on year increases in the region of 13 per cent. Across the globe, that figure almost reached $500bn in 2016, and is predicted to rise over the coming years. Figuring out how to spend that money wisely, and to get the maximum return on investment, is crucial to SME’s staying competitive in today’s agile marketplace.

With a solid background in digital marketing, CEO of Aesthetic Technology, Ryan Margolin, is a top talent to have on any team. Self-taught for over a decade, Ryan has turned around business after business, and has solidified his expertise with a Masters’ degree in Digital Marketing.

Beginning his career in the US, Ryan helped to turn a stagnant business in the manufacturing, wholesale and distribution B2B space into a healthy multi-national organisation, thanks to his flair for spotting opportunities and leveraging all the platforms within the digital marketing sphere. He has since launched his own technology repair company, and is excited to begin offering his expertise to other businesses globally.

Margolin commented,

“I’m really happy to have arrived at this point. Up until now, all my expertise and skills have been for my personal benefit only. But now I get the chance to do something really special; to help small businesses all over the world to really reach their full potential.”

“My agency is firmly focused on the SME market, and to helping small business owners boost their revenue through the services I can provide. Together, we’ll be able to implement proven formulas and strategies that will directly contribute to generating new leads and sales for their company.”

Among the services provided by Aesthetic Technology are Sales & Marketing Funnels, SEO, Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, social media advertising and website development. The agency’s focus is on creating a seamless, multi-channel marketing campaign that gives their client’s businesses a consistent ‘voice’ at every customer touch point.

Multi-channel marketing has proven to be a powerful strategy for businesses large and small, driving increased sales, lowering marketing spend and a providing a higher return on investment (ROI). For small businesses surviving in the increasingly competitive modern environment, such services will surely be worth their weight in gold, proving that smaller businesses don’t always need deeper pockets than big corporations in order to compete.

September 29, 2017 – – Albany, N.Y. – Awards By Walsh & Creative Marketing, a leading shop for embroidery in Albany, NY, has recently went above and beyond to create a nostalgic gift for a fantasy football league.

This year, a special customer of the Awards By Walsh shop tasked the team to polish up an old tarnished cup from years ago, which would be unveiled as a prize to a deserving recipient. The fantasy football league, called the “Bush League”, was fortunately rewarded with a trophy that breaks the barriers of craftsmanship in the awards industry.

“This was definitely an interesting opportunity to dive in to,” Steven Pesta said. “We usually design our products from scratch, but being challenged with making something old brand new was a fun and unique experience.

When football season comes around and the nation’s best NFL players gear up for another competitive run, citizens in Albany are preparing as well for a thorough, drawn out fantasy football season. Fantasy football allows for average individuals and sports lovers to come together and compete in online madness.

Thanks to the supplier of medals in Albany, NY, the Bush League has something unique to showcase its awesome season. And thanks to the Bush League, Awards By Walsh has even more experience in custom design to bring to the table.
