Leeds United co-owner sued over alleged £1m insider trading complaints

The CEO of San Francisco 49ers is accused of selling shares in an San Francisco 49ers, despite allegedly knowing of wrongdoing in terms of the services the firm was providing

The co-owner of Leeds United has been accused of alleged insider trading and federal securities laws violations as part of two lawsuits. The allegations are denied by the 49ers Enterprises.

Jed York is the CEO of San Francisco 49ers and is alleged to have sold 20,000 shares in the online educational company, despite allegedly knowing that it had helped college attendees cheat on exams, according to the lawsuits. Allegedly, York and other directors of the California-based firm concealed the company’s role in this alleged fraud.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the 43-year-old businessman made a profit of some £1.1million ($1.4m) from the sales of the stock in Santa Clara company in what the lawsuit claims was”at artificially inflated prices”. It is claimed that York was aware of the alleged misconduct of the company, which saw its profits soar during the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, as in-person examinations resumed as restrictions eased, those profits soon plummeted and the company soon saw its share price drop considerably. Mr York is accused of having sold his shares prior to this drop in the firm’s revenues.
