Jefferies Financial Group Announces Warning Regarding Mr. Handler’s Instagram Account

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jefferies Financial Group Inc.

Jefferies is working with Meta to return control of the account to Mr. Handler as soon as possible and has asked the authorities to investigate the matter.
