Milberg LLP and Kim Orr Barristers P.C. are investigating Sino-Forest Corporation (TSX: TRE; TRE.TO) and certain officers and directors for potential violations of securities laws.
In reaction to a critical report published by Muddy Waters LLC, a research firm and reported short-seller of Sino Forest securities, on June 2, 2011, shares of Sino-Forest fell more than 70% over two trading days to C$5.23 per share, on unusually high volume.
