Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of PayPal Holdings, Inc.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of PayPal Holdings, Inc. ("PayPal" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PYPL) concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

According to Company disclosures, PayPal received an investigative demand from the Federal Trade Commission in March 2016 in connection with PayPal's Venmo peer-to-peer payment service regarding potential unfair trade practices.  On December 28, 2016, a class action suit was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging securities fraud in connection with the same conduct, C.A. No. 16-cv-7371.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
