A new shareholder complaint against AT&T claims the company encouraged employees to create fake accounts for its DirecTV Now streaming service to juice its subscriber numbers and mislead investors ahead of its acquisition of Time Warner, shareholders allege in an amended complaint filed last week as part of a lawsuit against the company.According to the lawsuit, employees — who faced aggressive sales quotas — were "taught and actively encouraged" to convert activation fees that customers paid to upgrade their phones into the price for multiple DirecTV Now subscriptions. This was allegedly executed by "waiving the fee, but charging the customer anyway, and applying the payment to up to three DirecTV Now accounts using fake email addresses."The complaint claims customers were not told they had been signed up for a subscription, and that the company is said to have fielded regular complaints from customers who said that they were billed for accounts they did not sign up for. The complaint also details other alleged methods for increasing subscriptions without clients' consent.The purpose of these efforts, the lawsuit alleges, was to create the false impression that the service was compensating for declines in the legacy DirecTV satellite business, and to help justify the company's acquisition of Time Warner, now called WarnerMedia. WarnerMedia is CNN's parent company.CNN Business asked AT&T to respond to the merits of the lawsuit as well as for comment on specific allegations within it, such as claims the company pressured employees by setting aggressive sales targets and that employees were encouraged to use unrelated fees to create DirecTV Now accounts."We plan to fight these baseless claims in court," AT&T said in a statement in response.Plaintiffs include Local 449, a union pension fund based in Pittsburgh, and Melvin Gross, an investor who exchanged Time Warner stock for AT&T stock as part of the acquisition.DirecTV Now, which AT&T launched in late 2016, was billed as a key part of the company's pivot to entertainment. The lawsuit alleges that executives, including CEO Randall Stephenson, were deceitful in claiming that DirecTV Now's growth was stable, and that it was driven by "organic" demand and only limited promotions.But beyond the alleged inflation of subscriber numbers at unwitting consumers' expense, the service also suffered from significant turnover as customers jumped from one discounted streaming service to another, according to the complaint.The complaint says the plaintiffs and their attorneys spoke with a number of current or former AT&T employees who gave information about the alleged scheme. It refers to one former employee in Michigan who allegedly estimated that around 40% to 50% of the customers he dealt with starting in early 2017 complained of being billed for DirecTV Now subscriptions that they said they had not signed up for.The allegations come at what is for several reasons a delicate time for the company.Stephenson just 3043

A woman was arrested Monday on suspicion of murder after the body of her 9-year-old daughter was found in a duffel bag earlier this month, authorities said.Taquesta Graham, 28, is expected to be charged with murder on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. She is the second suspect, the agency said, after her daughter, Trinity Love Jones was found dead inside a black duffel bag on March 5.Graham's arraignment will follow the filing on Wednesday, the sheriff's department said.Last week, Graham had been extradited from Texas to Los Angeles, as investigators prepared a criminal case against her. She was initially being held in the custody of the LA County Sheriff's Department on an unrelated warrant.It's not clear if Graham has legal representation at this time."She was subsequently interviewed regarding her daughter's murder," the sheriff's department said last week.Tracking down Hunt and GrahamTrinity was found dead in a duffel bag east of Los Angeles earlier this month, which triggered a major investigation.On March 8, Graham and her boyfriend, Emiel Lamar Hunt, 38, had been stopped at a border patrol check point in Texas. Graham was arrested on an unrelated warrant, and Hunt was released and continued driving back to California, according to the LA County Sheriff's Department.Meanwhile, authorities said, tips from the public led investigators to believe the body they found could be that of Trinity and police were already looking for Hunt and Graham to question them.That day, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office completed an autopsy and ruled the little girl's death a homicide.Hunt was arrested on March 9 after police found him sleeping in his car in a parking lot near the San Diego International Airport, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.Hunt was charged with one count of murder in Trinity's death on Tuesday. Hunt's bail was recommended to be set at million, and his arraignment was continued to April 16. A public defender will be assigned to represent him. Hunt has a previous conviction for child abuse, dating back to April 2005 in San Diego County, which means he would face a stiffer sentence should he be found guilty in Trinity's killing, according to a criminal complaint.If convicted of murder, Hunt could face up to life in prison.Learning more about Trinity LoveAuthorities now believe Trinity's body was left at the crime scene on or around March 1.Four days later, workers cleaning brush from a horse trail in Hacienda Heights discovered the black duffel bag with her head and upper body protruding from the partially zipped bag.She was "small in nature," police told reporters. She wore panda printed pants and a pink shirt that said "Future Princess Hero" with princess crossed out.Investigators have also learned that 10 months ago the couple moved with Trinity from a family member's home in Long Beach -- 15 miles from where her body was found. Since then, the extended family had only seen or heard from the three on a few occasions, the sheriff's department said.There were no open or active Department of Children and Family Services cases involving Trinity, according to the sheriff's department. 3232
