BOSTON, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton is investigating Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF) for potential securities law violations.

What is this all about?
Block & Leviton is investigating whether Jefferies Financial Group and certain of its executives misled investors about the company's exposure to First Brands Group, a now-bankrupt auto-parts supplier, through Jefferies' asset-management unit, Point Bonita Capital. According to public reports, funds run by Point Bonita were owed roughly $715 million from companies that bought First Brands' parts, and questions have emerged over how much information Jefferies gave investors about that exposure. First Brands filed for bankruptcy in September 2025 amid accounting questions, and Jefferies later disclosed a $30 million loss tied to the collapse; the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly examining whether Jefferies adequately disclosed the risk. On June 25, 2026, after Jefferies reported quarterly results showing weaker asset-management fees and investment returns driven in part by Point Bonita, its stock fell about 9%, closing at $52.64 per share.
