Class Action Allegations

According to the class action lawsuit, which was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley (Defendants) traded with non-public material information.

It is alleged that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley obtained the material non-public information from their agreements with, and serving as brokers for, Archegos Capital Management. The lawsuit claims that the defendants knew, or should have known that they owed a fiduciary duty to Archegos, but sold billions of dollars worth of Vipshop Holdings shares while holding adverse non-public information.

In March, 2021, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley sold large amounts of VIPS stock based on inside information they obtained from their relationship with Archegos Capital Management, the complaint alleges.

The news caused Vipshop Holdings (VIPS) shares to fall by more than 37% from March 22, to March, 20, 2021.
