According to the complaint, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Starz lacked adequate internal controls; (2) according to a former Starz senior executive, Starz's contract with Comcast Corporation was a result of illicit business practices; and (3) as a result, Starz's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On October 29, 2015, Deadline Hollywood revealed that a lawsuit had been filed against Starz, CEO Christopher Albrecht, CRO Michael Thornton, and Liberty Media by the Company's former Senior Vice President of Sales and Affiliate Marketing, Keno Thomas; the complaint alleges that defendants retaliated against Mr. Thomas for whistleblowing with regard to the Company's affiliate carriage deals with Comcast and DirecTV and for refusing to participate in illegal behavior.

If you suffered a loss in Starz you have until January 8, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
