Signature Bank (SBNY) Securities Fraud Class Action:
On Apr. 4, 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported Signature Bank insiders sold $100 million in stock as the bank pivoted to attract cryptocurrency companies and became a stock-market darling. The executives sold many of their 2021 shares in the spring at around $220. Signature was one of only two companies in the S&P 500 that didn’t file insider-trading transactions with the SEC. The other was First Republic Bank. The bank also appeared to miscategorize some of its FDIC filings as dispositions to the company, meaning the shares were sold to the company, rather than sales on the open market.
The litigation focuses on Signature Bank’s repeated assurances that it was in a strong financial position despite the undisclosed risks it took.
Investors began to learn the truth on Mar. 12, 2023, when the New York Department of Financial Services announced that, to protect Signature Bank depositors, DFS had taken possession of the bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the bank’s receiver.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and investigating Signature Bank’s known but undisclosed risks, while insiders dumped their shares,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
