Investigation Launched Into MediaAlpha's Business Practices Amid Fraud Allegations
The Pomerantz Law Firm has initiated an investigation into MediaAlpha, Inc. (NYSE: MAX) following serious allegations of securities fraud and deceptive business practices reported by the company. This probe aims to assess whether MediaAlpha and its leadership have engaged in unlawful operations that harm investors and consumers.
On June 24, 2024, a report published by Wolfpack Research labeled MediaAlpha as participating in 'consumer fraud.' The report shed light on the company’s health insurance segment, indicating that it was involved in dubious advertising practices and that up to 78% of its partner entities in health insurance lead-buying were implicated in scams or violations of telemarketing laws.
As a direct consequence of these revelations, MediaAlpha’s share price suffered a significant drop, falling by $1.92 or 11.84%, reaching $14.29 per share by June 25, 2024. The situation worsened on November 4, 2024, when MediaAlpha disclosed receipt of a letter from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), signaling impending legal actions against the firm for potential violations of various federal regulations, such as the Telemarketing Sales Rule. Following this alarming news, the company’s stock plummeted by an additional $4.46, marking a staggering 27.74% decline to $11.62 per share.
