San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2021 -- An investor, who purchased NYSE: MGI shares, filed a lawsuit against MoneyGram International, Inc. over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws.

On February 22, 2021, a report was published called, "MoneyGram Puts Relationship With Ripple's XRP on Hold: The money transfer company said it 'is not planning for any benefit from Ripple market development fees' in Q1. In last year's Q1, MoneyGram banked $12.1 million in such fees." The article stated that "Ripple has been paying MoneyGram to use the XRP [] token in international settlement since 2019 and first engaging in a pilot agreement with the service in 2018. Since then, MoneyGram has netted $61.5 million in 'market development fees' from Ripple."

The plaintiff claims that between June 17, 2019 and February 22, 2021, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that XRP, the cryptocurrency that MoneyGram was utilizing as part of its Ripple partnership, was viewed as an unregistered and therefore unlawful security by the SEC, that in the event that the SEC decided to enforce the securities laws against Ripple, MoneyGram would be likely to lose the lucrative stream of market development fees that was critical to its financial results between June 17, 2019 and February 22, 2021, and that as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

Those who purchased shares of MoneyGram International, Inc. (NYSE: MGI) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
