How we checked this
Checked on September 28, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The complaint's sales table supports the share counts, prices, dates and proceeds. The inflated-price and inside-information characterizations are the plaintiff's allegations.
Confirmed in the source:
- Jamie Leverton, then CEO, sold 98,724 shares at an average of $14.21 on December 22, 2023
- She sold 35,761 shares at an average of $10.10 on January 12, 2024
- In total she sold 134,485 shares for approximately $1,764,223
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the sale prices were in fact artificially inflated (the complaint only alleges this)
- That Leverton in fact traded on material nonpublic information (the complaint only alleges this)
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 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.618845/gov.uscourts.nysd.618845.9.0.pdf) in full (109,679 characters, retrieved September 26, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
