Vipshop Holdings Ltd. (VIPS) Securities Class Action:

The lawsuit arises from Goldman Sachs’ and Morgan Stanley’s use of insider information to avoid billions of dollars in losses tied to the high-profile downfall of Archegos Capital Management by unloading Vipshop shares on “unwitting investors.”

Specifically, the complaint alleges Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street Banks served as prime brokers for Archegos, the now defunct family office of troubled trader Bill Hwang. Unbeknownst to investors, by 2020, the brokerage banks allowed Archegos to take on billions of dollars of exposure to volatile equities, including Vipshop, through swaps contracts, dramatically elevating the risk posed by these concentrated positions.

ViacomCBS’ $3 billion stock offering on Mar. 23 served as Archegos’ “Achilles heel.” The offering caused a decline in ViacomCBS’ share price, triggering Archegos’ imminent collapse. Knowing of Archegos’ likely insolvency, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs violated U.S. securities laws by unloading the troubled shares before the public knew about Archegos’ inability to satisfy its lenders’ margin calls, which allowed the banks to avoid billions of dollars in losses and pass on those losses to other investors.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving Defendants acted on inside information to leave retail investors holding the bag,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
