Supp. 2d at 139. Similarly here, key to the Government's investigation is understanding what specifically iRhythm employees and officer knew about [REDACTED] when they knew it.",

      "text": "programs, to communications with the FDA—spanning over a decade.” Subsequently, the government filed an enforcement action against the Company on July 1, 2024. Due to the sealing of documents and the need to watch videos of court proceedings, some of the legal posturing between iRhythm and the government have been harder to follow, which is why we believe investors may have lost sight of the significant risks entailed. We would make three key observations regarding the DOJ process: (1) the Company sought privilege on potentially damaging internal documents it produced in anticipation of a whistleblower lawsuit by a Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist, (2) despite management's suggestions to the contrary, the DOJ and FDA remain engaged on the case, and (3) the court recently ruled against the Company on the long fought discovery issue (subsequently appealed), increasing the risks of an adverse ruling against the Company. iRhythm has repeatedly questioned the government's efforts to obtain the internal documents in question by stating the government already knows their contents. However, we believe this line of argument is undermined by their ongoing efforts (including a recent appeal) to avoid their disclosure, as the Company's arguments regarding privilege seems to have weak legal foundation in our layman's opinion. Most importantly, a recently unsealed government petition suggests that the government is investigating a cover-up by iRhythm management. That is, the government seeks to investigate “what executives knew at the company and when they knew it.”",
