Investment Bank KBC Denies Involvement in Baazov's Bid on Amaya

Dubai investment firm KBC Aldini Capital Ltd. filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after being tied to David Baazov's $6.7 billion Amaya bid, Bloomberg reported.

According to Bloomberg Markets, the firm denied being involved in a deal with Baazov, Amaya's founder, who is attempting to take the company private. Amaya is the parent company of PokerStars.

After the Globe and Mail reported that KBC was not involved, Amaya stock fell six percent.

The complaint that KBC said it filed suggests that their name was used fraudulently, Bloomberg noted.
