Ex-Convict Turned Motivational Speaker Helps Convicted Felons Create a New Life

The famous adage, "The past does not define a person," is correct for former convicted felon Dale Robinson

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / He may have made grave mistakes in the past, but he did not let it rob him of a promising future. His one-of-a-kind experience motivated him to do something to turn his life around so that others may learn from it. From making prison visits-inspiring convicts-to talking in big conferences so he can teach people how to live a balanced life, Robinson is making it happen.

Through his G.U.R.U. Fitness application and Wanda Joyce Robinson Foundation, the 44-year-old motivational speaker and book author, is making time to educate people. He wants to break the cycle of incarceration for children who are affected by it. Men and women who have experienced incarceration and are ready to reconnect with society are also welcome to avail of the services available.

Robinson believed that there was a higher purpose behind his season of a life of crime. When he thought he could never make something good out of his unseemly experiences in the past, he now finds himself counseling others. He teaches them how to turn away from a life of greed and selfishness to a life of purpose.

He authored the book, "The Making of a Guru." It outlines his elaborate life story that has served as an inspiration to numerous readers. Robinson also tells the story of how he is working hard to make a difference in his community as a family man, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, community leader, and activist. The regular visits he makes to see inmates in prison have made such a life-changing impact on the lives of so many convicts. His words give them hope that they, too, can look forward to a time when they can rejoin their loved ones and society in general.

The book also introduces a 7-step program that applies to all areas of life. It teaches people how they, too, can become gurus. The author's journey of redemption and how it is also possible for others is the main driving force behind the book.

The G.U.R.U. Fitness application, on the other hand, will be available on Apple and Google Play on June 01, 2020. As a fitness guru, Robinson teaches the importance of keeping a healthy and robust body. Aside from the physical health of a person, he also touches on other areas-emotional and spiritual health.

Robinson is the founder and owner of G.U.R.U. Fitness. He also founded Wanda Joyce Robinson Foundation-which was opened last 2018 in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Foundation's primary objective is to help children impacted by incarceration. It also aims to provide protection and inspiration to children needing them most. Moreover, the program introduces the power of redemption, restoration, and resiliency.

Robinson may have faced too many adversities in life, but it did not hinder him from pursuing a better life. His life story is a journey worth knowing, an experience worth sharing.

Learn more about how Robinson and his team can help transform lives by checking out their website. Feel free to also send him an email at dalerobinson605@gmail.com or give him a direct call on 502-330-7475.

VMware, Inc. (VMW) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's financial performance. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Defendants falsely represented and concealed that: (i) VMware's reporting with respect to its backlog of unfilled orders was not in compliance with all relevant accounting and disclosure requirements; (ii) the foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and/or investigation; and (iii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times

The Complaint alleges that the truth emerged on Feb. 27, 2020, when after the market closed, the Company announced disappointing Q4 results and disclosed that in Dec. 2019 the SEC requested documents and information related to VMware's backlog and associated accounting and disclosures. Significantly, on the Q4 2019 earnings call, VMware disclosed that its total backlog was only $18 million, down massively from $449 million in the year-ago quarter. This news sent the price of VMware shares sharply lower the next day.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether VMware may have manipulated its backlog metric," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding VMware should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Alerts Investors in Ryder System (R) to Filing of Class Action Complaint, Encourages Investors with Significant Losses to Contact its Attorneys

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges investors in Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE:R) who have suffered losses in excess of $100,000 to submit their losses now. A securities fraud class action has been filed and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Class Period: Jul. 23, 2015 – Feb. 13, 2020

Ryder System, Inc. (R) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misled investors by overstating Ryder's financial results. According to the Complaint, Defendants assigned grossly overstated residual values to Ryder's trucking fleet, which allowed the company to record smaller-than-required depreciation expenses and, in turn, artificially inflate the company's reported earnings.

Investors began to learn the truth through a series of partial disclosures beginning on July 30, 2019, when Ryder drastically reduced its FY 2019 earnings forecast, blaming weaker valuations of the company's tractors.

Then, on Oct. 29, 2019, the company significantly lowered the residual values for all its vehicles and recorded a $177 million depreciation expense, explaining that "management concluded that our residual value estimates likely exceed the expected future values that would be realized upon the sale of power vehicles in our fleet."

Finally, on Feb. 13, 2020, Defendants disclosed Ryder recorded a total depreciation expense of $357 million for FY 2019, and that it expected to record an additional depreciation expense of $275 million during FY 2020 due to additional reductions of residual values.

In response to each disclosure, the price of Ryder shares sharply fell.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Ryder intentionally deceived investors through its accounting gimmickry," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Ryder should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

IQ INVESTOR DEADLINE REMINDER: Hagens Berman, National Trial Attorneys, Reminds iQIYI (IQ) Investors of Lead Plaintiff Deadline, Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges investors in iQIYI, Inc. (NASDAQ:IQ) who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now. The June 15, 2020 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities fraud class action against iQIYI is fast approaching.

844-916-0895

iQIYI (IQ) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants inflated iQIYI's revenue figures, user numbers and operational expenses to cover up other fraud.

Investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on Apr. 7, 2020, when Wolfpack Research published a scathing report, claiming the company was committing fraud well before its 2018 IPO and has continued to do so ever since. Wolfpack estimates that (a) iQIYI inflated its 2019 revenue by 27% – 44%, (b) overstates its user numbers by 42% – 60%, and then (c) inflates its expenses, the prices it pays for content, and other assets and acquisitions in order to burn off fake cash to hide the fraud from its auditors and investors.

This news drove the price of iQIYI ADSs sharply lower during intraday trading on Apr. 7, 2020.

More recently, on May 18, 2020, iQIYI released disappointing 1Q 2020 financial results, disclosing widening quarterly losses of $406.4 million, or 56 cents a share, a 55% increase over the year-ago quarter.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving iQIYI misled investors about the company's revenues, user numbers, and operational expenses to appear more successful," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding iQIYI should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.

HALL SHAREHOLDER NOTIFICATION: Hagens Berman, National Trial Attorneys, Notifies Hallmark Financial Services (HALL) Investors of Securities Fraud Class Action and Important Deadlines, Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges investors in Hallmark Financial Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:HALL) who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now. A securities fraud class action was filed, and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Hallmark Financial Services (HALL) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented and concealed: (1) that the Company lacked effective internal controls over accounting and financial reporting related to reserves for unpaid losses; and (2) that the Company improperly accounted for reserves for unpaid losses and loss-adjustment expenses related to its Binding Primary Commercial Auto business.

Investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, through a series of disclosures beginning on Mar. 2, 2020, when Hallmark announced it was exiting the Binding Primary Commercial Auto business and reported a $63.8 million loss development for prior underwriting years.

Then, on Mar. 11, 2020, Hallmark announced it had dismissed its independent auditor BDO over a "disagreement" concerning the Company's estimated reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses throughout 2019.

Finally, on Mar. 17, 2020, Hallmark disclosed a letter from BDO to the SEC revealing that BDO had expanded significantly the scope of its audit on Jan. 31, 2020, with respect to the matters of disagreement, and that "a substantial portion the requests had not been received and/or tested prior to our termination."

These disclosures caused Hallmark shares to decline over 75% lower between Mar. 2 and Mar. 18, 2020.

"We're focused on proving Defendants intentionally misled investors about the Company's internal controls and the sufficiency of its loss reserves," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Hallmark should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Notifies GSX Techedu (GSX) Investors of Securities Fraud Class Action and Lead Plaintiff Deadline; Investors with Losses Urged to Contact the Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges investors in GSX Techedu Inc. (NYSE:GSX) who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now. The June 16, 2020 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities fraud class action that has been filed against the company and senior executives is fast approaching.

GSX Techedu (GSX) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misreported GSX's financials, student enrollment figures, and teacher qualifications.

Investors began to learn the truth on Feb. 25, 2020, when Grizzly Research published a scathing report, accusing GSX of "drastically overstating its profitability in its US public filings, especially for 2018." Grizzly also claimed that GSX had generated "fake student enrollments to boost student count," and "fabricated teachers profiles."

On Apr. 14, 2020, Citron Research published its own cutting report, charging that GSX fabricated up to 70% of its revenues. According to Citron, GSX's Chinese financials and SEC financials are irreconcilable and show a 75% overstatement of net profits for FY 2017 – 2018 alone.

Then, on May 7, 2020, Citron published another report, citing "definitive evidence" of GSX "committing securities fraud." Citron avers that GSX's claims of acquiring customers at half the cost of its peers are false and misleading since GSX uses undisclosed related entities as shell companies to move costs off the Company's books.

Most recently, on May 18, 2020, Muddy Waters Research published another report, concluding GSX "is a near-total fraud," concluding that between 70-80% of its users are fake. This news sent the price of GSX ADSs crashing lower.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving GSX deceived investors," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding GSX should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 844-916-0895 or email GSX@hbsslaw.com.

eHealth (EHTH) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misrepresented and concealed eHealth's highly aggressive accounting and modeling assumptions, skyrocketing rate of member churn resulting from the company's pursuit of low quality, loss-making growth, and its reliance on direct response television advertising which attracts an unprofitable high-churn enrollee.

Investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on Apr. 8, 2020, when Muddy Waters Capital published a scathing report about the company, finding that eHealth uses deceptive accounting to mask a significantly unprofitable business. According to Muddy Waters, eHealth makes "overly optimistic" modeling assumptions concerning its health insurance plan life-time values (LTV), obscures customer churn rates, and materially understates costs. As a result, Muddy Waters claims eHealth has grossly overstated its reported revenues and operating profit by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Moreover, Muddy Waters pointed out that while falsely hyping the company as "the Expedia / Zillow of health insurance," corporate insiders have sold $35 million of their personally held stock at inflated prices, including CEO Scott Flanders, who sold 15% of his stake in January 2020 alone.

On this news, the stock plummeted $12.82, or approximately 12%, in a single trading day.

Recently, on Apr. 23, 2020, the Company reported its Q1 2020 financial results, including a nearly 30% decline in cash flow from operations compared to Q1 2019. This news sent the price of eHealth shares plummeting as much as 14% during intraday trading on Apr. 24, 2020.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving eHealth manipulated various financial metrics to appear more profitable," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding eHealth should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
