The investigation by a law firm for investors in NASDAQ: YRCW stocks follows a lawsuit filed against YRC Worldwide Inc. over alleged securities laws violations. The investigation on behalf of current long term investors in NASDAQ: YRCW stocks, concerns whether certain YRC Worldwide directors are liable in connection with the allegations made in that lawsuit.

The plaintiff alleges that the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that from 2005 to at least 2013, YRC's units systematically overcharged the federal government for freight carrier services, that this alleged misconduct caused the Department of Defense to overpay by millions of dollars for shipments that were lighter, and thus cheaper, than the weights for which the government was charged, that consequently, this alleged misconduct would subject YRC to enhanced government scrutiny and liabilities, including potentially owing treble damages under the False Claims Act, and that as a result, YRC's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Those who purchased shares of YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
