While going through the sections of the prospectus detailing the internal risk factors and the pending litigations against the company, I came to know that the company has been named as one of the accused in the “Cobbler Scam” of 1995 and that, the case is ongoing. I feel that this is a relevant factor (often overlooked) which may have to be considered by prospective investors.
