The lawsuit alleges that Cogent and its executives misled shareholders regarding the viability of its optical wavelength "backlog." According to the complaint, the company misrepresented customer demand, claiming that a vast majority of its purported orders were unlikely to result in paid contracts. Furthermore, the filing suggests that Cogent lacked the financial fundamentals to sustain its dividend policy and failed to disclose risks associated with high-risk stock pledging activities by executive leadership.
