The Business Review (Albany), "Hevesi files $250M suit against Qwest, Arthur Andersen" |
State Comptroller Alan Hevesi has filed a securities fraud lawsuit against Qwest Communications International Inc. and its auditor, Arthur Andersen, for $250 million to recoup losses suffered by the state Common Retirement Fund. Hevesi said they lost the money as a result of phoney accounting practices that inflated Qwest's stock price.
Hevesi had opted out of a securities fraud class action lawsuit against Qwest, based in Denver, and the other defendants that were the target of a securities fraud class action brought in 2001 in Colorado Federal District Court.
To date, he said that case has recovered a partial settlement of $400 million to reimburse investors who lost billions of dollars. Based on this settlement, New York would have only received $1.5 million of the $250 million in estimated losses.
Hevesi is represented in this action by the law firm of Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein LLP. |
