AeroVironment Investigated for Securities Fraud by Block & Leviton LLP

BOSTON, May 17, 2018

A lawsuit has been filed by AVAV's former chief of top-secret government programs, Mark Anderson, alleging AVAV staffers transported live bombs on a commercial Delta Airlines flight in 2015. In addition, the complaint alleges that AVAV's CEO, Wahid Nawabi, pressured employees to mislead the government about ongoing security violations and mishandling of top-secret information and to partake in coverup efforts. A report by Aurelius Value suggests that Nawabi told investors that the Company's safety systems and processes were robust, while during the same month, the Company initiated an undisclosed internal investigation into security failures. According to Aurelius's analysis, since the alleged coverup began, AVAV's Chairman, Timothy Conver has sold over $17 million worth of stock held by himself and his family trust.
