US Investigates CrowdStrike Executives Over $32 Million Carahsoft Deal; Stock Falls 2.6%

U.S. prosecutors and regulators have launched an investigation into a $32 million deal between cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. and technology distributor Carahsoft. The probe is focusing on the role of senior executives at CrowdStrike and what they may have known about the transaction. Despite multiple requests for comment, Sierra Nevada Corporation, which appears connected to the matter, has not responded publicly. Some employees of Sierra Nevada Corporation reportedly subscribed to Court Watch, a monitoring service, shortly after inquiries were made but before related reports were published. The investigation has led to a decline in CrowdStrike's stock price, which fell 2.6% in pre-market trading.
