The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Customers Bancorp, Inc. (CUBI) Failed to Disclose its Inadequate Anti-Money Laundering Practices
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that Customers Bancorp had inadequate anti-money laundering practices, and as a result, was not in compliance with its legal obligations, which subjected it to heightened regulatory risk.
The complaint alleges that on April 12, 2024, the Company announced its CFO had been fired for "cause" for violating company policy. On this news, the price of Customers Bancorp stock fell almost 5%, to close at $46.62 on April 15, 2024.
The complaint continues that on August 8, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced that it had "identified significant deficiencies related to the Bank's risk management practices and compliance with the appliable laws, rules, and regulations relating to anti-money laundering ("AML")…" On this news, the price of Customers Bancorp stock fell approximately 15%.
Then, on August 8, 2024, the Company disclosed it had entered into a consent order with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Banking and Securities, Bureau of Bank Supervision, which identified deficiencies that "give the Bureau reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to BSA/AML Requirements[.]" On this news, the Company's price fell further.
