Hagens Berman Continues Abiomed Investigation Into Possible Securities Law Violations On Behalf Of Investors

Based on information to date, Hagens Berman attorneys believe that Abiomed may have run into trouble by continuing to make comparative representations using the terminated Protect II trials. Abiomed reportedly pulled all of its marketing materials off its website and from its field representatives in August. Copies of these pulled materials would be helpful in advancing the firm’s investigation . Destruction of evidence, including emails and marketing/presentation materials by a company or its employees to impede known investigations, has severe consequences under both criminal and civil laws.

Whistleblowers

Persons with knowledge that may help the investigation are encouraged to contact the firm. The SEC recently finalized new rules as part of its implementation of the whistleblower provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Bill. The new rules protect whistleblowers from employer retaliation and allow the SEC to reward those who provide information leading to a successful enforcement with up to 30 percent of the recovery.
