Whitney is no stranger to legal scrutiny — he has signed separate agreements in recent years with the attorneys general of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Tennessee, agreeing to cease what these states alleged were misleading sales tactics — but the recent investigations have caused his company's stock price to plummet. This, in turn, has triggered a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of its shareholders. The suit names the company, the elder Russ Whitney, and his recently fired president and chief operating officer, Nicholas Maturo, as defendants. It asserts that if the company's growth and high stock price were based on defrauding customers, then the rosy reports and press releases from the last three years were fraudulent, too.
