CBL & Associates Is Investigated for Accounting Fraud

On May 24, 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are probing whether CBL & Associates falsified information on financial statements to banks when applying for financing. According to the Wall Street Journal, the officials are focusing on whether CBL inflated rental income and occupancy rates for its properties when providing those figures to banks. Federal investigators are separately questioning the relationship between the company and U.S. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, who has friendly ties to CBL's senior executives and has made millions of dollars in profits trading the company's stock in recent years. On this news, CBL's stock declined 8.4% to close at $9.40 per share on May 25, 2016.
