Prime Newswire: Investor Notice: KGS Announces Investigation on Behalf of Purchasers of Sourcefire, Inc. Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC (“KGS”) announces that it has commenced an investigation into Sourcefire, Inc. (“Sourcefire” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:FIRE) to determine whether it has violated federal securities laws by selling stock pursuant to a materially false and misleading prospectus in or about March, 2007.

Sourcefire’s stock has sunk since it’s IPO. We haven’t found any violations of federal securities laws, but we just want to let you know that we’re starting to look into it. And, that is worth a press release? Sourcefire Inc. contracts have been added. No, we will not be issuing a press release. Bah!
