Saxena White P.A. Files Securities Fraud Class Action Against Knight Capital Group, Inc.

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - Oct 26, 2012) -  Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Knight Capital Group, Inc. ("Knight" or the "Company") (NYSE: KCG) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of the Company during the period from January 19, 2012 through August 1, 2012 (the "Class Period"). The complaint brings forth claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Knight is a global financial services firm that provides access to the capital markets across multiple asset classes to a broad network of clients, including buy- and sell-side firms and corporations. 

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Company and certain of its executive officers ("Defendants") made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and accounting practices. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (i) that Knight lacked the deep liquidity it claimed to have and its capital position was not what the Company purported it to be; (ii) that Knight's trading technology and infrastructure were in fact not sophisticated and were not appropriately checked or tested to ensure they were working properly (as required by all high frequency broker-dealers with access to the markets); (iii) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (iv) that, as a result of the above, Knight's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times, and positive statements about the Company's business prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
