How we checked this
Checked on October 12, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The complaint supports the dates, share counts, prices, and proceeds, but the claim that she traded on inside information is only alleged.
Confirmed in the source:
- Jamie Leverton was CEO at the time of the sales
- Leverton sold 98,724 shares on 12/22/2023 at an average $14.21 per share for $1,402,966
- Leverton sold 35,761 shares on 1/12/2024 at an average $10.10 per share for $361,257
- Leverton sold a total of 134,485 shares for approximately $1,764,223, before the J Capital Report
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That Leverton sold the shares on inside information (this is the plaintiff's allegation, not an established fact)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of RECAP (purchased via PACER) (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.618845/gov.uscourts.nysd.618845.8.0.pdf) in full (109,654 characters, retrieved September 25, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
