That's not why they're mad... From the full article:
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements about Camping World’s financial performance, including its historical financial results and its integration and operation of the newly acquired Gander stores, and concealed material weaknesses in the company’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, leading to a 37 percent artificial inflation of Camping World’s reported 2016 basic earnings per share.
If they indeed misrepresented the company's past performance and earnings in the manner alleged, then they crossed the line between optimism and fraud. This is why we have courts.
