According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain of Opus Bank’s loans were of poor quality; (2) Opus Bank was over-representing the quality of the loans to the public; (3) Opus Bank failed to properly account for the loans in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (4) in turn, Opus Bank would be forced to recognize large charge-offs associated with the loans; (5) Opus Bank lacked adequate internal controls over accounting and financial reporting; and (6) as a result, defendants’ statements about Opus Bank business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
