Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against the Herald USA Fund, Herald Luxemburg Fund, Primeo Select Funds and the Thema International Fund by Stull, Stull & Brody
Monday January 12, 2009, 6:17 pm EST
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stull, Stull & Brody has commenced a Class Action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 09 CIV 00289) on behalf of a Class, consisting of all persons and entities who invested in the Herald USA Fund, Herald Luxemburg Fund, Primeo Select Funds and the Thema International Fund ("collectively, the "Funds") between January 12, 2002 through and including January 12, 2008 (the "Class Period"). The Complaint asserts that, during the Class Period, unbeknownst to investors, defendant Medici Bank, along with defendants Sonja Kohn, Peter Scheithauer, Bank Austria Creditanstalt, Unicredit S.A., Pioneer Alternative Investments, Ernst & Young LLP, and HSBC Holdings plc, caused the Funds to concentrate almost 100% of their investment capital with entities that participated in the massive, fraudulent scheme perpetrated by defendants Bernard L. Madoff and Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities.
If you invested in either the Herald USA Fund, Herald Luxemburg Fund, Primeo Select Funds or the Thema International Fund during the Class Period, you have until March 13, 2009 to request the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Stull, Stull & Brody as your counsel to represent you in this action.
The attorneys at Stull, Stull & Brody have over 30 years of experience litigating securities class action cases, and have played lead roles in major cases resulting in the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. The reputation and expertise of Stull, Stull & Brody in shareholder and other class litigation has been repeatedly recognized by courts throughout the United States, which have continually appointed the firm to major positions in complex securities multi-district and consolidated litigation. Stull, Stull & Brody maintains offices in New York and Los Angeles.
If you would like to discuss this action or if you have any questions concerning this Notice or your rights as a potential class member or lead plaintiff, you may contact:
