Several law firms are notifying Cogent Communications Holdings investors about a federal securities class action covering purchases from February 29, 2024, through May 1, 2026, with a September 21, 2026, deadline to seek lead-plaintiff status. The complaints allege that Cogent and its executives misrepresented demand for optical-wavelength services by overstating a backlog that largely did not convert into paying customers, while also providing unsupported revenue and margin projections. The filings further allege that Cogent lacked the financial capacity to sustain its dividend and failed to disclose risks related to Chairman and CEO David Schaeffer’s pledged shares. Kaplan Fox said Cogent’s stock fell $6.79, or 29%, on May 4, 2026, after Schaeffer acknowledged that customers were delaying wavelength acceptance; the allegations have not been proven in court.

Brazil Probes Flávio Bolsonaro Over Money Laundering

Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering tied to the failed Banco Master and the financing of a film about his father, Jair Bolsonaro, with authorities unsealing documents earlier this year; Bolsonaro maintains the financing was legal as the election race against Lula da Silva remains tight. The probe, opened in July by Justice Mendonça at the request of the police, involves scrutiny of funding sources and transfers, including connections to a U.S. fund, as prosecutors seek details on the origins of the money behind the project.

Former Ecuadorian president Abdala Bucaram and his son Jacobo were sentenced to nine years and four months in prison for involvement in a pandemic-era corruption scheme tied to the illegal sale of Covid-19 medical supplies, with Bucaram appearing via remote clinic due to heart problems. The two main perpetrators received longer sentences of 13 years and four months, another co-defendant was murdered in prison in 2020, and Bucaram could serve the sentence under house arrest given his age.
