The lawsuit was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws by Opus Bank in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between July 28, 2014 and October 17, 2016.

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Opus Bank (NASDAQ: OPB) common shares between July 28, 2014 and October 17, 2016, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between July 28, 2014 and October 17, 2016, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that certain of the company's loans were of poor quality, that the company was over-representing the quality of the loans to the public, that, as such, the company failed to properly account for the loans in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), that, as a result, the Company would be forced to recognize large charge-offs associated with the loans, that the Company lacked adequate internal controls over accounting and financial reporting, and that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Opus's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
