The plaintiff claims that between February 11, 2014 through November 8, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that MoneyGram was aware for years of high levels of fraud involving its money transfer system, that MoneyGram failed to implement appropriate anti-fraud countermeasures, in part, because doing so would adversely impact its revenue, that this misconduct would draw scrutiny from the FTC, which had an agreed-upon order requiring MoneyGram to implement a comprehensive anti-fraud program, that this misconduct would draw scrutiny from the Department of Justice, which entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement concerning MoneyGram's anti-fraud and anti-money laundering programs, and that as a result, defendants' statements about MoneyGram's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
