BOSTON, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP has launched an investigation into MOL Global, Inc. ("MOL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:  MOLG), a Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia based electronic payment company.  This investigation followed the news that the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Allan Wong had resigned, to be replaced by Jonathan Yoon Soon Chong.  Mr. Chong is currently the CFO for a subsidiary of MOL.  In conjunction with the news of Mr. Wong's resignation, the MOL also announced that its third quarter earnings release would be delayed until December 3, 2014.

As the stock market absorbed this news, shares of MOL plummeted.  It dropped from a closing price of $8.86 on November 20, 2014, to close at $4.09 on November 21, 2014.  This 54% drop resulted in a loss of market capitalization of over $320 million.  The Company traded as low as $3.99 per share, representing MOL's 52 week and all time low, and traded at its highest volume since its initial public offering on October 9, 2014.  MOL is planning a conference call on December 3, 2014, to discuss the earnings and Mr. Wong's resignation.
