NEW YORK, June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at ChinaCast Education Corporation ("ChinaCast" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CAST).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose known facts related to deficiencies in the Company's internal controls. The lack of oversight at ChinaCast allegedly enabled the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ron Chan Tze Ngon ("Mr. Chan"), to wrongfully transfer $120 million in cash from bank accounts belonging to Company subsidiaries.

On April 2, 2012, NASDAQ halted ChinaCast trading. The same day, ChinaCast disclosed on the Company's Form 8-K that "there may be a significant material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects" as a result of the Mr. Chan's alleged wrongful conduct.
